I've got LMDE3 installed in VB as well. So far, all software installed has ran just fine except for Chromium. Same issue user "wooque" is having.

Fresh LMDE3 Beta x64 installation, package chromium from software manager, When i launch chromium i get:

(chromium:2609): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.cinnamon.muffin' does not contain a key named 'button-layout' Ловушка трассировки/останова

Also, in package manager chromium on it's page come with picture from chromium-bsu page (package with arcade game). Not a big bug, but very funny.

In short: this is because the Debian Stretch (old) Muffin version has a button-layout key in its gsettings schema org.cinnamon.muffin that the LMDE 3 (current) Muffin version doesn't have and Chromium on Debian Stretch is hardcoded to use that older Muffin schema.

I compared output of gsettings list-recursively | grep button-layout on LMDE 3, LMDE 2 and Linux Mint 19.

On LMDE 2 it shows:

org.cinnamon.muffin button-layout ':minimize,maximize,close'
org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout 'menu:minimize,maximize,close'
org.cinnamon.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout 'menu:minimize,maximize,close'

On LMDE 3 and Linux Mint 19 it shows the same except the first line is missing. Chromium on Linux Mint 19 doesn't have an issue with this but Chromium on LMDE 3 indeed does.

Checking the Chromium sources on Debian Stretch it shows this is hardcoded specifically for Cinnamon in the file chrome/browser/ui/libgtkui/settings_provider_gsettings.cc:

const char kCinnamonPreferencesSchema[] = "org.cinnamon.muffin";
[...]
const char kButtonLayoutKey[] = "button-layout";

The key can't be added manually with gsettings as there exists no schema that has it on LMDE 3. I doubt Chromium hardcoding will be fixed in Debian Stretch.

A possible solution for LMDE 3 would be to add the schema back to the Muffin package for LMDE 3 and patch the Cinnamon Settings > Windows code so that the button layout in /org/cinnamon/desktop/wm/preferences/button-layout is always also set on /org/cinnamon/muffin/button-layout?

Thanks.
I’ll probably try to install Chrome instead of Chromium, then... :(

[fblais]

Update: Chrome is working correctly.

[clefebvre]

Debian won't fix it because it doesn't affect them. We've established that with NM already.

[clefebvre]

The simplest solution might be to add that key somewhere in debian-system-adjustments.

sorry, closed by mistake :)

Fixed in muffin 3.8.3.
