Nemo is broken again. Dektop Icons are gone, right click does not work on it. The usual fixes have not worked.

This all started when I was installing IntelliJ and most likely messed up during the process. I have tried restarting and reinstalling Nemo.

When running Nemo in terminal this is the output:

Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
ImportError: No module named site

a list of sites I have visited that had fixes that did not work:

I've also checked every similar topic I could find on this forum.

What do you mean "most likely messed up during the process" of installing IntelliJ. Did it install successfully? It's quite possible that some needed java library stuff got replaced. I'm not all that familiar with Cinnamon so I don't know which java you're supposed to have.

I'll also say that it's usually recommended that newbies avoid software that has to be built and compiled from a tar.gz file, and this sort of thing is why. I've been voiding them for years.

Hopefully someone more lknowledgeable on cinnamon and java problems can chime in.
