Hello. I have a problem with the Nemo file manager in cinnamon.
After I updated my Fedora 33, nemo crashes immediately, when opened.
I tried running it from the terminal and it shows this error before the crash:
(nemo:134302): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 06:48:04.137: Settings schema ‘org.nemo.preferences.menu-config’ does not contain a key named ‘selection-menu-favorite’
I tried reinstalling, but that didn’t help.
What can I do with that?
Thank you for your time.
I will provide any additional info needed.
Hello Aurora, welcome to Fedora community! Upgrade all extensions and add-ons - their update process is separate from the rest of system.
There’s an update indicator for Cinnamon extensions, add it to a panel (right click on panel → Applets → Download → Spices Update) and you won’t miss another important upgrade: https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/309
Using gnome-abrt you can report issues to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ (login to bugzilla with FAS account or create a new one manually). Many useful details will be reported automatically by abrt and if similar problem has already been reported, you’ll be added to it.
Windows registry is a complete mess, while dconf is well structured. Besides, adding that key would probably lead to some other issue popping up. It has to be fixed by application/extension developer - bug report is necessary.
Try with a fresh user, but I’m afraid it might be related to different desktop environments being installed. I’ve successfully upgraded a couple of Cinnamon spins since ~F26.
Have you tried dnf downgrade nemo* like Vladislav suggested?
dnf versionlock add nemo* will prevent nemo from upgrading, just don’t forget about reporting the bug, so that you didn’t have to use old version forever. More about dnf versionlock:
I’m not sure why it failed (missing debuginfo files or not enough data in general). Try again later, if it fails, report it manually with info from Details window (reason, crash function, cmdline, executable, package, component, core_backtrace) and a summary of what we determined here. Log in to Red Hat Bugzilla
Here’s a list of reported nemo issues https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?component=nemo&product=Fedora
Hey, I reported the problem to bugzilla then. Nothing happened to it for a long while and then it disappeared… I updated again since then and it’s still the same issue. Seems like I’m stuck with the older version.
In Fedora 34 it says (nemo:26789): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 18:48:18.438: Settings schema 'org.nemo.preferences' does not contain a key named 'sort-favorites-first'
Only the key name changed…
