Bug description

After updating glib to 2.86.0, Cinnamon fails to load the desktop properly, missing the panel, compositor, etc.

Steps to reproduce

Just boot into the desktop.

Expected behavior

The desktop should load with the panel, compositor, etc.

Additional information

New glib 2.86.0 has broken its API (again...).

This was reported in some places, including

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/3776
CinnamonSlackBuilds/csb#81

Don't hold your breath for a early fix, it's likely to be months before it's looked at.

$ rpm -q glib2
glib2-2.85.4-1.fc43.x86_64

Moved to cjs, it doesn't even look like slack bothered to rebuild cjs, of course it's going to fail if you don't :-(

I rebuilt everything from scratch against new glib 2.86.0 and the issue still happens.

Did you include the tests when you built it, Introspection failing could cause cinnamon to crash.

No, I don't build with tests.

I'll wait for a proper fix when it's time then.

Thanks!

@leigh123linux

@leigh123linux how do you run test in cjs?

You run this after building

meson test -C build_directory  --num-processes 4 --print-errorlogs

here's the result

testlog.txt

#131 fixes the issue.

#131 (comment)

Thanks, that PR fixed it here as well

I also confirm it works. Great! :)
