[SOLVED] gnome schema issues

Hi,

I have problems with gnome schemas. Can anyone help how to recreate/create/install/purge them please? The most puzzling thing is that I have X11. Some (mostly java based) apps complain about missing gnome schemas, hence I would like to fix the issue.

This happens when I am trying to install the gnome schemas:

sudo pacman -Sy gsettings-desktop-schemas
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
warning: gsettings-desktop-schemas-46.1-2 is up to date -- reinstalling

Compiling the schemas yields similar (same?) results:

I believe I have these schemas on the system:

The schema installation looks complete:

pacman -Qk gsettings-desktop-schemas
gsettings-desktop-schemas: 228 total files, 0 missing files

On system updates, if gsettings-desktop-schemas happened to have an upgrade, I could see the error messages. However, a while back, around May and before, the upgrades went smoothly, and there were no related error messages on updates.

Re: [SOLVED] gnome schema issues

Thank you for the reply.

Sorry, I am not sure if I understand what you meant; you linked 'gsettings-system-schemas 46.1-2'. I have that package installed. Did you mean to link another package with the missing xml files?

Re: [SOLVED] gnome schema issues

Well, mystery solved:

warning: gsettings-system-schemas: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.desktop.enums.xml (No such file or directory)

Did you mean to link another package with the missing xml files?

No. The package is broken, re-install it.

Re: [SOLVED] gnome schema issues

If I downgrade to 'gsettings-desktop-schemas-46.0-1', the problematic app is working fine. When I browse the content of the old (46.0-1) and the current (46.1-2) version's package zip file, I can see a bunch of xml files in the old version, but only a few in the new version. In fact the size of the old file is about 150 times larger compared to the new version.

The file moved into https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/an … m-schemas/ which should™ be a dependency of gsettings-desktop-schemas

I think you meant to link a package wherever the xml files moved into. But in fact you linked 'gsettings-desktop-schemas', which is the broken package itself.

Re: [SOLVED] gnome schema issues

No. Reinstall gsettings-system-schemas and don't conduct partial up-or downgrades.

Re: [SOLVED] gnome schema issues

Ok, I now realise that there are two different packages, 'gsettings-system-schemas' and 'gsettings-desktop-schemas'.
Reinstalling 'gsettings-system-schemas' fixed the problem.
Thank you!
