Bug#1118346: cinnamon: Cannot log on to cinnamon unless using wayland (experimental)
Package: cinnamon
Version: 6.4.10-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Upgraded hardware, AMD cpu / Nvidia graphics to Intel CPU / graphics.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
When the machine starts up the login to lightdm is presented. Logging
in with Cinnamon in normal or software rendering mode results in a
background image but nothing else, not even a mouse cursor.
Logging in with Cinnamon on wayland does work.
I've had a similar situation on another machine when upgrading from
Debian 12 to 13.
