The rendering problem is that icons and menus are displayed as grey rectangles and it's not possible to see what they are. I believe the problem is in one of these packages: * mesa 21.0.3-0ubuntu0.2-20.04.1 * xorg-server 2:1.20.11-1ubuntu1-20.04.2 Restoring the system from backup, and then upgrading but omitting the above two updates and restarting, the system behaves as expected. It's not immediately clear which of these packages is causing the problem. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.18 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: vinay 1218 F.... pulseaudio CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: X-Cinnamon DistroRelease: Linux Mint 20.1 InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-01-30 (187 days ago) InstallationMedia: Linux Mint 20.1 "Ulyssa" - Release amd64 20210103 IwConfig: lo no wireless extensions. ens33 no wireless extensions. tailscale0 no wireless extensions.
