weather@mockturtl Version 2.6.7 the config window wont open on Linux Mint 20

[catalin560]

fresh install of mint, downloaded the applet and I can't set it up in any way since the configure window wont open for some reason...

[Gr3q]

An update to fix this issue was pushed earlier today, use the Spices Update applet to update the app and let me know if it still doesn't open

[French77]

Check the following÷ local ►share ►cinnamon ►applets ►weather@mockurtl ►3.8 ►settings-schema.json

Sometimes I needed to remove by uninstall under the Download tab in System Settings, restart and then install again. But this time the only issue when updating was a cinnamon crash on one on three LM20 installed computers.

Just downloaded the applet. I have the same issue on Linux Mint 20 as shepherdlewis000. Can't configure and settings-schema.json has "units-page". Any suggestions?

[Gr3q]

@proteus8 if you run this in your terminal: /usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/xlet-settings.py "applet" "weather@mockturtl", does the settings open? if not, what is the error?

[proteus8]

Gr3q, the .cinnamon/configs folder was not created:

/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/xlet-settings.py "applet" "weather@mockturtl"

Original exception was:

[Gr3q]

@proteus8 I see, technically this is not the responsibility of the applet so the issue lies somewhere else.

Can you create the folder manually?

If so, can the configuration be opened? If not, has a .json file been created in said folder?

[proteus8]

I created the folder, reran the command and got:

[Gr3q]

If you create a file in the folder named 104.json with contents it will work, because the config file is missing. Although I don't know why don't you have the correct folder+file, and I don't know can the applet modify it after. Are you using Linux Mint or something else with Cinnamon? Contents:

Gr3q, I'm running Linux Mint 20. I created 104.json in the configs/weather@mockturtl folder with the contents from the previous post and got the same error as before:

Original exception was: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/xlet-settings.py", line 579, in <module> window = MainWindow(xlet_type, *sys.argv[2:]) File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/xlet-settings.py", line 155, in __init__ self.set_instance(self.instance_info[0]) IndexError: list index out of range
