2021-08-05 12:24:12 Vinay Sajip description On a VMWare Workstation VM running Linux Mint 20.1 (64-bit) with Cinnamon 4.8.6 or Linux Mint 20.2 (64-bit) with Cinnamon 5.0.5, upgrading to a specific mesa and xorg-server version, followed by a system restart, led to the Cinnamon desktop not rendering correctly, such that the desktop was unusable. The rendering problem is that icons and menus are displayed as grey rectangles and it's not possible to see what they are. I believe the problem is in one of these packages: * mesa 21.0.3-0ubuntu0.2-20.04.1 * xorg-server 2:1.20.11-1ubuntu1-20.04.2 Restoring the system from backup, and then upgrading but omitting the above two updates and restarting, the system behaves as expected. It's not immediately clear which of these packages is causing the problem.
