   Monsieur to All   
   Keyboard not working   
   06 Sep 25 17:33:48   
   
   From: Monsieur@notreal.invalid   
      
   I want to add a second keyboard layout, but Mint menu > Keyboard does   
   absolutely nothing. No window opens when I click it.   
      
   When typing cinnamon-settings keyboard I get all this:   
      
   /usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/cinnamon-settings.py:458:   
   DeprecationWarning: Gtk.Window.set_wmclass is deprecated   
      self.window.set_wmclass(wm_class, wm_class)

        raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None   
   json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)   
      
      
   I have no idea what I'm looking at here. I see an error in the last   
   line, but have no clue what to do about it.   
      
   Tried upgrading to 22.2 hoping that would fix the issue, but it didn't.   
      
   Also tried sudo apt install --reinstall cinnamon-control-center as   
   suggested by an AI but that didn't help either.   
      
   Any ideas?
