[SOLVED] Cinnamon - Unable to install extensions

#1 Post by daishun »

When I try to install any extension on Cinnamon I get the following error dialog:

This image is for the desktop scroll extension but I will get a similar error for any other.

Is this a known bug? I couldn't find another post about this in the forum search.

I fixed it myself. I was missing some dependencies.

I had just used apt to install the 'cinnamon' package.

After running

Code: Select all

apt install cinnamon*
extensions are working.
