Cinnamon 4.0.9 crashes when attempting to create desktop launcher

Post by redlined »

Updated Cinnamon to 4.0.9 and Muffin to 4.0.6 from update manager this morning and restarted. Noticed forum member posted issue about not being able to create desktop launcher (understanding it was a 4.0.8 bug to be fixed).

When I attempted to create a launcher to replicate the issue, my CPU raced to 80-90% use and after a minute a crash report popped up so took a look at details before send and noticed at bottom of report it lists:
"UnreportableReason: This is not an official Linux package. Please remove any third party package and try again."

Needless to say, no desktop launcher was otherwise created in the process.

I am unable to copy the report so have attached a screenshot of error report blame line and traceback and will try to send report again as well.
