Cinnamon Desktop Upgrade

Hopefully somebody can help me I ran the cinnamon update to day to 3.2.0-1 and now I am getting an applet failed to load which I traced back to the keyboard.  It turns out now it uses xapps which I believe I installed correctly however this did not fix the issue.  Anybody have any ideas I have been at it all morning

Re: Cinnamon Desktop Upgrade

Upgrading to latest cinnamon packages availlable on repo solves the problem

Re: Cinnamon Desktop Upgrade

There's issues with Windows List with App Grouping freezing the panel. Icing Task Manager is caring the project forward, and currently is working on a fix.

Re: Cinnamon Desktop Upgrade

After the latest upgrade to Cinnamon:
cinnamon-desktop 3.2.0-1
cinnamon-screensaver 3.0.1-2

I can no longer lock screen.

output of journalctl:

cinnamon-screen: Settings schema 'org.cinnamon.desktop.screensaver' does not contain a key named 'logout-enabled'

I've tried to edit the

/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.cinnamon.desktop.screensaver.gschema.xml

by adding a binary key with the same name, and compiling with

glib-compile-schemas

Now I get this in journalctl:

cinnamon-screen: Settings schema 'org.cinnamon.desktop.screensaver' does not contain a key named 'logout-command'

I am not sure what this value of the key is, so I do not dare to anyhow edit the schema and re-compile as another "quick fix".

Does anyone have any advice? If you're familiar with the code base for cinnamon-screen, i hope you can point me to the line where i can start deciphering what values are needed.

I hope a patch is coming to solve this schema issue which seems to me like the problem.

Just did it this morning and now I get:

Nov 09 09:29:01 santree /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-x-session[737]: Can't connect to screensaver!

every time I ask it to run
if I launch it on the command line I get:

$ cinnamon-screensaver
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/cinnamon-screensaver/cinnamon-screensaver-main.py", line 14, in <module>
    from service import ScreensaverService
  File "/usr/share/cinnamon-screensaver/service.py", line 9, in <module>
    from manager import ScreensaverManager
  File "/usr/share/cinnamon-screensaver/manager.py", line 10, in <module>
    from stage import Stage
  File "/usr/share/cinnamon-screensaver/stage.py", line 9, in <module>

  File "/usr/share/cinnamon-screensaver/monitorView.py", line 5, in <module>
    import cairo
ImportError: No module named 'cairo'

Re: Cinnamon Desktop Upgrade

Looks like the missed a dependency.

Usually, not a good idea: you could install python system packages with pip (probably python3-pip) for the missing 'cairo' package, as a quick fix, then check for the next error message to fix step by step.

$ pip install cairo

Long-term fix, have to wait for upstream patch, if it indeed is upstream problem.
