Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.2 fresh install from scratch turns to recovery mode a few seconds after boot

Post by plasticbertrand »

Dear Foristi,

my fresh installation of Mint 20.2 Cinnamon on a Dell Inspiron 1521 used to run a few days with no reason to princess.
Yesterday a few updates were installed, from then on it misbehaves: As soon as booted, before I open anything, it falls into recovery mode, asks for reboot with downloaded applets and desklets deactivated. As I do not use either, this is IMHO moot. So I answer no, please continue without reboot. Couple of things don't show on my desktop, exchangeable media drive me crazy as they are being opened at random moments. Irritating. Today, a Kernel update successfully accomplished, but no, it still misbehaves.

This is the latest crash report I got:

This is a forum where users help other users. It is rare that a developer who can read all the details of a crash report might see this, so all the details of crash report is not very helpful. The top portion says cinnamon crashed.

For us to be able to help you, please give us information about your install by entering this command in a terminal: inxi -Fxxxrz

This data seems to indicate everything including Cinnamon is installed properly.

Did that problem only happen one time?

Did you add any applets to Cinnamon that might be causing an issue?

No, it keeps happening at unpredictable intervals, sometimes right after start, sometimes after more than an hour...

No.

Apart from this bug, I am content with the way it works. This bug, however can be quite annoying...

There is a log file for the Cinnamon session. Maybe it will show what is happening.

They are hidden files in your home directory called .xsession-errors (current session file) and .xsession-errors.old (one session older). In the File Manager select View > Hidden Files to see them. You can double-click on either file to read it (they are text files). See if there are any errors listed in either of those files.

I think you might be keeping some vital information from us. You say this is a fresh install, yet your / partition shows:

Reason: Added code tag to the code output to place it in a neat scrollable box which does not consume half the page.

Re: Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.2 fresh install from scratch turns to recovery mode a few seconds after boot

I do not know to what this refers. Do you normally enter your password to start Mint or are you automatically logged in?

It appears the system crashed right at start up. Metacity is the backup and should not be listed in this log. However, I do not see what caused the problem.

I went back to your original post and checked the start of the stack traces.
#0 0x00007f836917a318 n/a (r300_dri.so + 0x786318)
The part I put in red relates to the graphic drivers of the computer. If they do not work properly, that will cause problems for Cinnamon.

You posted on another topic indicating this computer would not power off. Have you been shutting it off with the power button? Doing that can corrupt the file system. A corrupted files system will not run properly.
