Cinnamon shows black screen with cursor after successful login (Mint 21)
Running Linux Mint 21 (Cinnamon) on an rx 6700 xt with 2 x 1440p displays. Update Mesa with the oibaf ppa (jammy) most days. With the f182b195 pull or later, installing Mesa from the PPA, I can no longer load to my desktop using the default Cinnamon. Login is successful, but the screen goes black, nothing rendered and I have a spinning wait cursor on the screen. I can ctrl-alt-backspace to bring up the login screen to restart the computer. If I select the software rendering Cinnamon option, I can login to my desktop. Examining the logs, I see two things: 1. an error saying it can not connect to the coredump service and 2. a polkit-1 Auth error. There is nothing else in the logs I can find. I reverted back to git-6e020dff which is last save in my TimeShift which runs flawlessly.
Sorry there is not much to go on, all other components are up to date. It is consistent with any Mesa installs after this commit.
