[SOLVED] Cinnamon not loading after Linux Mint update

I booted my pc and cinnamon is not loaded. There is no taskbar and start button and all. But icons on the desktop is still there.
Typing "cinnamon" in Terminal gives me:
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details.
(cinnamon:2313): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter: Unable to find suitable fbconfig for the GLX context: Failed to find any compatible fbconfigs
Window manager error: Unable to initialize Clutter.
Reboot doesn't fix anything. I have no idea what to do now.

Hello, elwc.
Your thread title states, "Cinnamon not loading after Linux Mint update". This raises the question: Which software packages have been updated right before the trouble started?
Could you also, please, run these commands in a terminal window and post the output:
Code: Select all
lsb_release -rd
uname -a
mdm --version
cinnamon --version
inxi -Fx
Kind regards,
Karl

I did some crazy thing that messed up with my xorg server and all. I worked with command line to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.19.run from Nvidia's website. All solved! For reference purposes,
