Thanks. It looks like there's a basic texturing problem in OpenGL. Since that's done entirely in software for VMs, this should be assigned either to Mesa or to Cinnamon itself. I don't think we need to involve the kernel. ** No longer affects: linux (Ubuntu) ** No longer affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) ** Bug watch added: github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues #10067 https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/10067 ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #1956512 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1956512 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1938998 Title: [vmwgfx] Update to mesa and xorg-server causes Cinnamon desktop to not render properly Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: New Bug 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.

Has this (now confirmed) problem been identified and fixed, and if so, which versions of the package(s) contain the fix? With this information, one could update to the version containing the fix and seeing if the system actually works as expected.
