I've just upgraded to Mint 17.2, nemo 2.6.7.
Unable to browse files even after installing gnome-tweak-tool and trying to enable/disable desktop icons
~ $ nemo
nemo: symbol lookup error: nemo: undefined symbol: gnome_desktop_thumbnail_cache_check_permissions
Did you somehow uninstall cinnamon-desktop?
sudo apt-get install gir1.2-cinnamondesktop-3.0 libcinnamon-desktop4 cinnamon-desktop-data
you can enable/disable desktop icons from Cinnamon Settings->Desktop, don't use gnome-tweak-tool (i doubt it even works for Cinnamon)
Check your versions of those as well - should be 2.6.5
All the needed dependencies are already installed !
Settings->Desktop doesn't fix the problem !
I can't even interact with the Desktop ( Right Click doesn't works )
I've checked the existence of files "ls Desktop/".
~ $ nemo --version
nemo 2.6.7
What versions of cinnamon-desktop are you on?
dpkg --list | grep cinnamon-desktop
and
dpkg --list | grep cinnamondesktop
Those should be 2.6.5. Any other versions must be removed/purged.
Is this a clean install? There's no official upgrade yet for 17.1->17.2.
~ $ dpkg --list | grep cinnamondesktop
ii gir1.2-cinnamondesktop-3.0 2.6.5+rafaela
~ $ dpkg --list | grep cinnamon-desktop
ii libcinnamon-desktop4:amd64 2.6.5+rafaela
Anyway, we'll wait for the official upgrade of Mint 17.2
Check if libcinnamon-desktop0 is installed on your computer. If it is, you'd want to remove that.
YES, that's it.
The problem was solved by removing libcinnamon-desktop0.
Greetings.
