Re: Desklets Refreshing the Cache error
Same here. Ever since I installed Mint 18.3 with Cinnamon. I'm assuming it'll be fixed soon, but thanks for posting with screen shots and all, because this was the question I joined the forums for!
Re: Desklets Refreshing the Cache error
This exact same issue is happening to me. I've been wrestling with it for a couple hours trying to find a solution online. I cannot install anything even from the partial list is pulls down. I only have access to 3 widgets.

I'd check any .config files for a bad URL.

Your data and OS are backed up....right?

Re: Desklets Refreshing the Cache error
Can you reach the page in the browser?
If the problem is only in the desklet dialogue, delete the folder .cinnamon/spices.cache/desklet. Note, that the first part of the path is a hidden folder; you have to press ctrl-h to make it visible. The desklet dialogue should be closed during the operation.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, the suggestions from that link didn't help.Flemur wrote:"How to Fix a 400 Bad Request Error"JerryF wrote:[http error 400]

I did a search of .config files from the root directory and got over 300 results. Not sure which I'm supposed to check.
Re: Desklets Refreshing the Cache error
Sorry, I forgot to write that the said folder is in your home.

Thanks so much. Yes, I can reach that url in my browser.
I deleted the folder .cinnamon/spices.cache/desklet while the Desklets dialogue was closed.
I updated the cache and it stops at 18/28 downloaded images.
Re: Desklets Refreshing the Cache error
That probably would've contained the .config (tho perhaps under a different name - .xml, etc) file I was talking about.JerryF wrote:I did a search of .config files from the root directory and got over 300 results.

Re: Desklets Refreshing the Cache error
Do you have the same problem with applets (which have a far greater number of items available)?
Also: Create a fresh new test account and do inside nothing except loading the desklet info. How does this work?

I created an account called "testaccount", type=Administrator. I get the same result for updating desklets as my account: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request. But, I can update applets without an error.Also: Create a fresh new test account and do inside nothing except loading the desklet info. How does this work?
Re: Desklets Refreshing the Cache error
Do a test with the live system.
Re: Desklets Refreshing the Cache error
Hi Cosmo,
Using a Live USB, got the same results as the testaccount:
Desklets HTTP Error 400: Bad Request.
Applets update without an error.
Thank you.

Re: Desklets Refreshing the Cache error
Obviously the problem is not in your Mint, but in your Internet connection.
Try to restart the router. Disconnect it from the power line, wait a minute or 2, plug the power cord in again and wait, until the router has completely booted.

Same result. HTTP error.

Sorry, I'm running out of ideas.
Any chance to take the computer to a friend, at best somebody who uses a different ISP?

Thanks so much Cosmo. I'll let you know the results.
Re: Desklets Refreshing the Cache error
Fine. Don't forget to take also the live dvd / stick with you, so that you can test there as well the installed systems as the live system.
Re: Desklets Refreshing the Cache error
Thanks again. I always carry my USB Mint with me wherever I go. It's better than a four-leaf clover.Cosmo. wrote:Fine. Don't forget to take also the live dvd / stick with you, so that you can test there as well the installed systems as the live system.
Re: Desklets Refreshing the Cache error
did you change your software sources, at least 'main' (for where the mint repo is)?
