I confirm same error, 1.7.5 works without any issue
Mint 20.3 Cin 5.2.7
Confirm the same issue with V1.7.6 on Mint 20.3
Issue still present with Version 1.7.6 (2024-04-21 14:56:05)
Is there any interest from the developer in removing this error?
Or is the basic idea: Linux Mint 20.3 will be "End of Life" from April 2025 and thus the problem with this error message will also be "solved"?
Is it so difficult to make a query that checks whether the Linux Mint version used supports Wayland at all?
My workaround is was to manually install V1.7.3 and then block the update for this applet. By this, the annoying notifications during startup are gone. As soon is Mint 22 is available, I will update any; Mint 20 will then have done its job for four years without any major problems. That robustness is what keeps me with Linux Mint in the future.
@ChrisHoS Can you give a short description of how to do this? I'm not much of a command line person. That would definitely help other users who come here looking for a solution.
Thanks in advance. :-)
@Mar-tux: It should be possible without command line knowledge.
~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets
; take care that the same folder structure exists as beforeALT+F2
, then enter r
and hit enterI hope that helps.
Yes, it worked! Thank you very much. Finally, that annoying message at startup is gone!
I'm also waiting for Mint 22 - another 4-6 weeks after it's released so that there are no bug surprises.
Linux Mint has been running on my computers since 2016. I've also tried other distros, but I've always come back to Mint.
Thanks again and have a nice weekend. :-)
Will be fixed on version 2.0, that will be released in the following days.
Hello Raphael, after the last update a message appear which says that cinnamon is not able to start an applet. In Looking Glass i found the folowing error message:
error t=2024-01-16T11:08:59Z [qredshift@quintao]: Meta.is_wayland_compositor is not a function [qredshift@quintao]: Failed to load applet: qredshift@quintao/14 error t=2024-01-16T11:08:59Z [qredshift@quintao]: Applet qredshift@quintao: Could not create applet object. [qredshift@quintao]: Error importing applet.js from qredshift@quintao
QRedshift seems to work normal, but on every system startup the message mentioned above is shown.
Greetings
Markus
