"Configure" option for menu applet in panel not working #8801

UncleSpellbinder · 2019-08-18T18:10:56Z

Cinnamon version 4.2.3
Arch Linux, 64 bit
Kernel 5.2.9-arch1-1-ARCH
CPU: AMD A10-7800 Radeon R7 4C+8G (4) @ 3.500GHz
GPU: AMD ATI Radeon R7 Graphics

Issue
Clicking "configure" no longer works, nothing happens. The "About" and "Remove Menu" options both work, as the dialog boxes are shown after clicking those. When I click "configure", nothing happens. All other applets in the panel that have a "configure " option work as expected.

Steps to reproduce
Right click menu applet, select "configure".

Expected behaviour
Configure dialog box should appear.

Other information
I tried with two other menu applets (Cinnamenu and CinnVIIStarkMenu). Same issue with both of those as well, "About" and "Remove Menu" both work as the dialog boxes are shown after clicking those. When I click "configure", nothing happens.

Do your logs or .xsession-errors show anything that might be related? I can't reproduce the issue here on Mint 19.2.

UncleSpellbinder · 2019-08-18T18:20:41Z

I can copy/paste here. It's quite long. I couldn't sus anything out.

JosephMcc · 2019-08-18T18:22:01Z

Please do or put it in pastebin or something. Thanks

Thanks. Nothing stands out for me in there. Maybe someone else will see something.

JosephMcc · 2019-08-18T18:39:17Z

Could you try running xlet-settings applet menu@cinnamon.org with the stock menu in the panel. This should show it's settings or give you an error of some kind.

Using sudo, there is more info...

mtwebster · 2019-08-18T19:27:26Z

are there any entries in the "System Reports" app (in the menu) or run 'mintreport`. Look under "Crash reports"

claudiux · 2019-08-18T19:31:02Z

@UncleSpellbinder Do not use sudo. The root user does not use this applet.

claudiux · 2019-08-18T19:37:20Z

@UncleSpellbinder Can you try: cinnamon-settings applets menu@cinnamon.org?

UncleSpellbinder · 2019-08-18T19:40:04Z

mtwebster, there is no "System Reports" app. I suspect running "mintreport" will not help, I'm running Arch.

mtwebster · 2019-08-18T19:43:11Z

oh sorry I didn't pay attention to original post :)

You'll have to debug it - this link should help:

What icon theme do you have set. I ask as a Mint user reported a similar issue on the forums and it appears the Yaru++ icon theme was a factor.

WOW. You are correct! I was using the Korla icon theme. Switched to Arc. "Configure" works as expected.

I'm so sorry to have wasted everyone's time.

Thanks for the info, smurphos!

UncleSpellbinder · 2019-08-18T19:56:46Z

SOLVED

smurphos · 2019-08-18T20:15:10Z

It's not a waste of time. It may be an icon theme related bug, but it should not make the settings module crash if it is.

The Yaru++ theme is from https://github.com/Bonandry/yaru-plus

I got as far as reproducing the crash with the Yaru++ theme on Mint, but haven't investigated any furhter

needed. The actual dialog may not ever be needed if the button is never clicked. related to: linuxmint/cinnamon#8801

JosephMcc · 2019-08-19T04:37:09Z

This should be fixed by: linuxmint/xapp@b325768

eli-schwartz · 2019-08-20T22:24:30Z

@UncleSpellbinder I'm uploading the new xapps version to Arch's community repository as we speak, so your original icon theme should work now I guess.

pacman -Syu 'xapps>=1.4.9-1'

smurphos · 2019-08-21T05:25:00Z

Partially fixed - you still can't open the icon picker GUI from the configure GUI with one of the problematic icon themes.

cinnamon-desktop-editor is also broken by these icon themes

steve@steve-Inspiron-5580:~$ cinnamon-desktop-editor -m nemo-launcher -d ~/Desktop

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Edit to add - can reproduce with the korla icon theme as used by the OP - https://github.com/bikass/korla

mtwebster · 2019-08-21T10:51:17Z

There's nothing we can do with this other than isolating it as much as possible, which that patch did, this is a gtk issue.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/2111

smurphos · 2019-08-22T05:38:07Z

Thanks @mtwebster - I'm not sure if it's relevant for your upstream bug report, but fixing the typo in the index that produces the warning doesn't eliminate the seg-fault.

@eli-schwartz - Thanks. As was mentioned, it's partially fixed as I can't open the icon picker GUI from the configure GUI. But, some progress is better than none. Much appreciated.

gusbemacbe · 2019-11-04T12:52:29Z

Hi @smurphos !

I am co-author of Yaru++. It had "no size field", because the author of icons theme used the old version of Suru++ Ubuntu, which caused bugs in the Yaru++ theme.

During a month, I have worked, fixed and upgraded the whole Yaru++. I have already told him not to copy or use the old version of Suru++ Ubuntu for his new icons themes.

I have just released the new version today. You can check and test.

Davetheraveuk · 2020-05-17T13:44:36Z

Hi, I am having the same problem as OP.
Here is my terminal output:


[dave@RebornOS Desktop]$ cinnamon-settings applets menu@cinnamon.org
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/xlet-settings.py", line 17, in <module>

  File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/bin/JsonSettingsWidgets.py", line 313, in json_settings_factory class NewClass(globals()[subclass], JSONSettingsBackend):

KeyError: 'SoundFileChooser'

Dunno what is causing this.
Let me now if you require any more info.

I'd been facing the same issue in Arch Linux for the past couple of days. The latest cinnamon update seems to have fixed it.
