The bug has not been confirmed by another human. That's just the status used by the kernel bot.
Since all the relevant packages (mesa, xorg-server and kernel) have been updated since this bug was logged we would appreciate it if you could retest. If the problem still occurs then please consider: * Testing a newer kernel because you're currently on the old kernel series. You can change that with 'sudo apt install linux-generic- hwe-20.04'. * Reporting the problem to Cinnamon (https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues) if it is specific to that environment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded 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 linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: New Status in xorg-server 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. 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. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.18 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: vinay 1218 F.... pulseaudio CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: X-Cinnamon DistroRelease: Linux Mint 20.1 InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-01-30 (187 days ago) InstallationMedia: Linux Mint 20.1 "Ulyssa" - Release amd64 20210103 IwConfig: lo no wireless extensions. ens33 no wireless extensions. tailscale0 no wireless extensions.
