there is only one thing i can understand how can i fix , as you see in this image the desktop background is completely black which i can't fix

you can see a error message too

Very good!!!

• If you have Turnip on certain devices, using export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 before using cinnamon-launcher seems necessary to prevent windows from being invisible

  • To use the the GPU for OpenGL again afterward, use unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE in a terminal and then use programs launched from that terminal inside Cinnamon
  • This also affects some other DEs like XFCE if compositing is enabled on at least some devices
  • (However this does not affect some DEs like IceWM. I have come to assume this problem results from the intersection of X11 compositors, Turnip, Zink, and certain specific devices like Adreno 612 GPU, simultaneously)
  • This problem is basically tracked here [Bug]: Possible regression dbus 1.16.2 #23981 however that issue covers at least two different problems simultaneously and one of the problems don't have anything to do with "dbus" at all, so it became a catch-all issue for two problems related to black screen and each problem only affects some people's devices, and the "dbus" problem was fixed a long time ago so the "dbus" title is just something that doesn't make any sense anymore that you can ignore.

• For me, trying to open the settings app has an error about "Gsound".

Maybe it's necessary to either patch out the requirement for that, or try to add Gsound as a package.

thanks i will try

so now i am getting this kind of error

~ $ cinnamon-settings
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/cinnamon-settings.py", line 29, in <module>

ImportError: cannot import name 'SettingsWidget' from 'xapp.SettingsWidgets' (/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/xapp/SettingsWidgets.py)

what i understand that it can't access python3-xapp (pip)
@robertkirkman do you have any idea how can i fix this ?

@sabamdarif yes!

I've managed to identify some additional software that can make the xapp Import error change to a different error instead (proceed further), at least for me (I didn't see exactly the same error as you, but maybe this will also make your "xapp" error stop)

git clone https://github.com/linuxmint/python3-xapp
cd python3-xapp/
meson build . --prefix=$PREFIX
meson compile -C build
meson install -C build
cinnamon-settings

(Inspired by Arch Linux package https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/python-xapp/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD?ref_type=heads)

This is the new error I see instead:

(I am not highly experienced with PAM, but I believe it is something that is commonly found on Desktop Linux, but might be very difficult to use in Termux on Android, since Termux packages are frequently built with --disable-pam - so this part might be something that is necessary to patch out)

thanks i will try

what if we just disable that cs_user.py do we need that

mv /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/modules/cs_user.py /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/modules/cs_user.py.bak

it make cinnamon-settings launch

now it's lot better

regarding the black desktop background, could it have anything to do with cinnamon-screensaver?

finally fix this #25823 (comment) error notification i was getting

almost everything is working now, even the desklet are working too but not the desktop, the problem is there is no error message related to that, that's why i don't understand where to look

I was able go get icons working

I get the next errors when setting a background desktop image:

~ $ DESKTOP_SESSION=cinnamon nemo-desktop

It seems an issue related to cinnamon-control-center

Some commands don't work due to missing dependencies. Most of the are python interfaces. I found the next list of dependencies that needs to be manually installed:

python-dbus
pyinotify
pyinotify-elephant-fork
gvfs

@DuilioPerez how did you get icons working ?

yes the desktop icons are working now thanks @DuilioPerez

@DuilioPerez how did you get icons working ?

It seems cinnamon doesn't launch automatically nemo-desktop in the build I tested (12 hours ago). I launched from Terminal and it works. It gives those errors too. Another missing dependency is libheif-progs which is in Termux repositories. It yet doesn't recognize cinnamon-control-center. I think it could be a path issue, bacause I don't get any python error. Maybe in some part is not being used $PREFIX

yes i will fix that autostart error

It yet doesn't recognize cinnamon-control-center.

those messages are about network, color, wacom are missing from the control center, it happen because i disabled them, they will not work in termux

Whoops I forgot that I said that you need to rename python3-xapp to python-xapp and you didn't do it,

#25823 (comment)

that is ok I will do that now
