nm-applet won't start

I run artix with openbox as wm.  I find nm-applet will no longer start it fails like this
Code: [Select]
(nm-applet:2224): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 12:58:52.840: Settings schema 'org.gnome.nm-applet' is not installed
Trace/breakpoint trap
I found some tips
Code: [Select]
/usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas >/dev/null 2>&1

#and

pacman -S gsettings-desktop-schemas

with google, but none seemed to help.

Any ideas?

I checked and

/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.nm-applet.eap.gschema.xml is owned by libnma-common 1.10.4-3

A run under strace ends like this

I downgraded to these packages libnm-1.38.4-1.1  libnma-1.8.40-1  libnma-common-1.8.40-1  network-manager-applet-1.28.0-1 and find that nm-applet will start up.

I will consult upstream and se if the nm devs can help.

I think the libnma pkg changed something that was supposed to be fixed in the network-manager-applet pkg, but for some reason my updates missed out the change in network-manager-applet.

according to the .ink in the message i referenced there's a path name that could be deleted that might fix the problem.  If it pertains to your circumstance and it's from nov 9 2022 so it could def be relevant.
