Linux Mint 18.3: System Settings > Control Center
by FenderGuy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4ZAN7)
Yesterday, I was typing a lengthy document and my palms were hitting the touch pad, messing up my typing; so, I thought "Let me turn off the touchpad". When I moused over to System Settings and clicked, nothing happened!
Here's the result when I typed 'cinnamon-settings' in the terminal window:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/cinnamon-settings.py", line 45, in <module>
modules = map(__import__, mod_files)
File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/modules/cs_backgrounds.py", line 5, in <module>
import imtools
File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/bin/imtools.py", line 622, in <module>
if Image.VERSION == '1.1.7':
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'VERSION'
What happened, and how do I fix it?
