Package: cinnamon Version: 3.2.7-4 I have installed Debian Stretch Cinnamon with the iso Stretch Netinstall, and I have chosen the installation in expert mode. I have installed the basic components, and then I installed Cinnamon with the package cinnamon. But it is impossible to install or applets or desklets, or extensions. I looked in the log of the looking glass, no error. In a terminal, I typed this
cinnamon-settings applets I tried to install all the applets available online, and I got this as result (cinnamon-settings.py:3731): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:4101:29: Expected ',' in color definition (cinnamon-settings.py:3731): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:4142:92: The :prelight pseudo-class is deprecated. Use :hover instead. (cinnamon-settings.py:3731): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:4146:43: The :prelight pseudo-class is deprecated. Use :hover instead. Loading Applets module Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged. Identical results for the desklets, and extensions. The error encountered for the installation of applets, desklets and extensions are the following https://www.pixenli.com/miniature/NZtssaK6 [errno 2] No such file or directory Sorry for the screenshot, I'm French. - I have completely uninstalled Cinnamon, purge the configuration files in the /home - I am also doing dpkg-reconfigure cinnamon. - I have turned off the firewall ufw. - I tried with several internet connections. With a minimal installation of Debian Testing with Cinnamon, this problem does not exist, manipulation applied to a virtual machine. By installing only the package cinnamon, and not cinnamon-core, and not cinnamon-desktop-environment, everything works, the applet will install. This is a known bug of Stretch with Cinnamon 3.2.7-4 ?? A problem of dependencies ?? A problem with packaging ?? It is a problem for users that they want to do a custom installation of Stretch Cinnamon. And to be deprived of some of the options of this desktop environment. I hope that my problem will be looked at, treated, and corrected. I found no similar case in spite of the intensive research on the web. I use Debian GNU/Linux Stretch 9.3, Cinnamon 3.2.7-4, kernel 4.9.0-5. Thank you.
