cinnamon keeps crashing

Post by Mintrookie »

Hello
I am running mint 20.1.
My xsessions log returns these first two warnings
1) cinnamon-session[1569]: WARNING: t+0.20380s: Could not read /home/mikeb/.config/autostart/mintinstall-update-flatpak.desktop: Key file does not have key “Name” in group “Desktop Entry””
My .config/autostart/mintinstall-update-flatpak.desktop file

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/bin/false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false

2) ** Message: 21:04:41.850: Existing monitor config (/home/mikeb/.config/cinnamon-monitors.xml) not found at startup. Looking for legacy configuration (monitors.xml)

The file config/cinnamon-monitors.xml does exsit in .config

Welcome to the forum, Mintrookie.

Because of its graphics requirements, the Cinnamon desktop environment requires hardware acceleration to run properly. The code specifically checks for it and, if it does not find one's system rendering with hardware, it will display a message.

Your system is not showing a renderer at all so that is probably why Cinnamon is crashing.

Graphics:
Device-1: Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: i915
v: kernel bus ID: 00:02.0
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.11 driver: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz
OpenGL: renderer: N/A v: N/A direct render: N/A

I did a comparison of my file to yours. The first line is yours and the second is mine.

Code: Select all

dbus-update-activation-environment: setting XDG_GREETER_DATA_DIR=/varview a sample of flatpak file/lib/lightdm-data/mikeb
dbus-update-activation-environment: setting XDG_GREETER_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/lightdm-data/SMG
I do not know what flatpak you might be using, but maybe that is part of this issue.

This is the warning you mentioned in your post. It seems it is looking for something special you may have installed?

Code: Select all

cinnamon-session[1569]: WARNING: t+0.20380s: Could not read /home/mikeb/.config/autostart/mintinstall-update-flatpak.desktop: Key file does not have key “Name” in group “Desktop Entry”
This is the part where the system is looking for Nvidia graphics drivers. The inxi data you posted is not showing an Nvidia GPU.

Code: Select all

Xlib:  extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0".
Xlib:  extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0".
Xlib:  extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0".
Is there a setting in your computer's BIOS/UEFI which indicates whether you can use the onboard Intel graphics or a separate discrete GPU?

This is where the line I put in red in your inxi output becomes a factor in crashing Cinnamon. Everything after that is just cascading errors as the system keeps trying to start.

Code: Select all

As far as a next step, we'd need to know more about what graphics you believe your computer should be using in order to know what to suggest. Additionally, what desktop flatpak did you install?

It happened to me before on two different laptops. What I did to solve the issue was by simply launch Driver Manager disable and reenable microcode driver (one laptop is intel-microcode another is amd-microcode) and check and install the latest updates. It seems to me the problem was caused by uncorrectly configured firmware update.
