Hello,
that issue was already reported "upstream" and is fixed in the meantime.
The issue was a compatibility issue with Clutter.
Cheers

Hello,
I try to use the desklet Network usage monitor which I can download
using the Desklet control.
It downloads and installs without issues, and when I try to activate
it it is not shown on the desktop. vnstat and vnstati are installed.
Looking into the logs with journalctl, the following error message is
shown 3 times every 2 seconds:
Jan 14 08:07:58 laptop1 cinnamon[2643]: JS ERROR: TypeError:
Clutter.Texture is not a constructor
_updateGraph/<@/home/chris/.local/share/cinnamon/desklets/netus...@30yavash.com/4.0/desklet.js:144:29

The code around line 144 in desklet.js is:
if (this._device != "null") {
if (!this.useExtendedDisplay) { this.extendedDisplay =
"-s" };
let image =
`${path}/vnstatImage_${this._device}_${this.extendedDisplay}.png`;
let command = 'vnstati ' + this.extendedDisplay + ' -ne
-i ' + this._device + ' -o ' + image ;
// GLib.spawn_command_line_async(command);
Util.spawnCommandLineAsync(command, () => {
let l = new Clutter.BinLayout();
let b = new Clutter.Box();
let c = new Clutter.Texture({keep_aspect_ratio:
true, filter_quality: 2, filename: image });
b.set_layout_manager(l);
* b.add_actor(c);*
this.imageWidget.destroy_all_children();
this.imageWidget.set_child(b);
});
}
I used Alf+F2 and "lg" to get more insights, but was not successful. I
can see that Clutter is provided with the package cinnamon-common, but
I could not find the definition of Clutter.Texture. But I am not a
Javscript developer, so just tried to grep around a little bit.
I read that whole Clutter is already unmaintained. Does it look like
those Clutter based Cinnamon stuff is slowly fading out?
