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.

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.
