[Solved] Cinnamon tweaks problem

I'm on a fresh (0 day, some hours) Arch Linux installation. I can't install Cinnamon extra themes, applets or extensions. When I try to fetch them using cinnamon-settings, I get this error:

An error occurred while trying to access the server.  Please try again in a little while.

Details:  <urlopen error [Errno 110] Connection timed out>

As suggested in the Cinnamon wiki page, I tried to install mint-themes and mint-x-icons* from the AUR packages, but the AUR scripts has broken links as you can see in comments.

Are those issues related ? Any suggestion ?

*UPDATE: mint-x-icons works

New links for the AUR package:
http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/main … 2b8.tar.gz
http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/main … 4.3.tar.gz

In fact, just update the versions and the checksums and it should install just fine.

Re: [Solved] Cinnamon tweaks problem

Thanks it worked How to extend this fix to the AUR package ? Flag it out of date ?

However I still have the first problem, but I think that this is an upstream bug. I'll ask to Cinnamon community

No worries, I've flagged the package and left a comment. Not sure about that first problem as I don't use Cinnamon - asking their community is a good idea.

http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/ (where it pulls the information), seems to have periods where the traffic is too high  and will result in time outs... just retry later

Oh I didn't know. I used Linux Mint Cinnamon for about 3 years and never encountered this problem, so I thought it was related to my Arch installation.
