Description Steve Bryant 2015-06-07 10:10:39 UTC
Description of problem:
Since upgrade to Cinnamon 2.6.6, on login to Cinnamon desktop, the main Menu applet is empty except for the search field and the Panel Launcher is missing is missing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cinnamon-2.6.6-1.fc22.x86_64

How reproducible:
Log into Cinnamon desktop - 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log out of Cinnamon, or reboot
2. Log in to Cinnamon
3.

Actual results:
Empty Menu, missing Panel Launcher.

Expected results:
Previous session's configuration of Menu and and Launcher should be present at login.

Additional info:
To recover Menu configuration, you need to configure the Menu applet and access the Menu Editor.  Making a trivial change (e.g. unchecking then rechecking a menu item) and then closing forces the Menu applet to load all items.

To recover Panel Launcher, right-click an application on Menu and select "Add to Panel.  Panel Launcher then appears with previous applications plus the new application just added.

Comment 8 Tom Georgoulias 2015-06-07 17:47:57 UTC
Thanks, I had to install cinnamon with --nodeps to get around a blueman dep (it wasn't installed on my laptop anyway) but that was the only issue.

Menu and panel behavior are back to normal for me.

Comment 9 Steve Bryant 2015-06-07 20:02:13 UTC
Thanks - running the following command as 'root' also fixed the issue for me:

# dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing upgrade cinnamon\* nemo\*

(It did have to try a number of mirrors to find a copy of 'blueman' with a valid checksum - perhaps repo sync was not complete?)

Comment 14 Steevithak 2015-06-08 17:52:32 UTC
Same problem here. Did a "yum update" today and now cinnamon is unusable.

Comment 15 Steevithak 2015-06-08 17:55:35 UTC
Can the fix above be used on Fedora 21 or is a similar fix in the works?

Comment 16 Neil 2015-06-08 18:23:31 UTC
It's not I recommend you to upgrade to f22 using fedup, so you can be able to test most fixes on testing repositories, since our selected DE is half of the experience using fedora, I can confirm that f22 is stable as f21, almost with the same issues on cinnamon the difference is that you can test the latest fixes.

Comment 20 Steevithak 2015-06-09 16:27:56 UTC
Turns out updating cinnamon from the test repo actually did fix both my Fedora 21 and Fedora 20 boxes that had this problem. (yes, upgrading to F22 is planned but I need to keep the desktop working until I have time to do the upgrades). Thanks!
