 Posted: Sun Apr 28, 2019 10:27 am Post subject: Installed Cinnamon, settings bits don't work |
 |
|
Right, after using openbox for ages, I decided to change to something a bit more flashy and chose cinnamon. I followed the wiki, a couple of use changes were required and off I went. ETA - running ~amd64 so it is cinnamon 4.0.3
Cinnamon started fine - I use startx so put exec dbus-launch cinnamon-session in my .xinitrc.
Problem is, many of the settings parts don't work, including the main settings button on the start menu. Click and nothing happens.
Having a bit of a rummage, trying to run the programmes for them (from looking at /usr/bin and the .desktop files) in a terminal I get this sort of thing:
| Code: | timothy@tims_pc /usr/share/applications $ cinnamon-settings
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/cinnamon-settings.py", line 610, in <module>
window = MainWindow()
File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/cinnamon-settings.py", line 248, in __init__
for module in modules:
File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/modules/cs_backgrounds.py", line 5, in <module>
import imtools
File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/bin/imtools.py", line 623, in <module>
if Image.VERSION == '1.1.7':
AttributeError: module 'PIL.Image' has no attribute 'VERSION'
|
I am running PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_6". Looks like I am missing something. I am using the default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop profile, I wonder if a gnome one might work better.
Anyone also had this, or any ideas?
Thanks. |

| Well hold your horses folks, much to my surprise I appear to have sorted it by masking dev-python/pillow-6.0.0. I will post a bug about it. |

Yes that is the same issue I think. The problem I identified was that in Pillow 6.0.0 onwards the VERSION property is no longer used - this is Image.py
| Code: | #
# The Python Imaging Library.
# $Id$
#
# the Image class wrapper
#
# partial release history:
# 1995-09-09 fl Created
# 1996-03-11 fl PIL release 0.0 (proof of concept)
# 1996-04-30 fl PIL release 0.1b1
# 1999-07-28 fl PIL release 1.0 final
# 2000-06-07 fl PIL release 1.1
# 2000-10-20 fl PIL release 1.1.1

Whereas the cinnamon scripts continue to do so eg in /usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/imtools.pyit is used
| Code: |
if Image.VERSION == '1.1.7':
