The change enables gdk backend. At the moment the only solution is to export the x11 backend from console, and replace cinnamon.
export CLUTTER_BACKEND=x11; cinnamon --replace
Any better fixes?

I can confirm this. And as I had no idea what is going I have to thank you for posting this workaround.
All I could do was laugh about cinnamon's error message
Apr 10 00:18:09 obsidian cinnamon-session[849]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry....
After that it dumped the core. Not much information about the actual error.
How did you find out what happened?

I have the same issue.
For the moment, I take your solution ...
Any other?
Offline
sudo your-text-editor /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/cinnamonfix.sh
#!/bin/bash
# Temp fix for Cinnamon
export CLUTTER_BACKEND=x11
save file
Make it executable from your terminal.
sudo chmod 755 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/cinnamonfix.sh
reboot
That way it exports before x starts. Works for me.

Confirm here! Thanx for workaround..

What a nasty bug! I was hit as well, lost a good hour, as I really didn't know what happened at first, after reading the bug report I rolled back "clutter"
Archlinux has a rollback machine https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … ck_Machine
wget -c http://seblu.net/a/arm/week/extra/os/x86_64/clutter-1.20.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
sudo pacman -Ud clutter-1.20.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
# Edit your /etc/pacman.conf to include
IgnorePkg = clutter
reboot
Keep a eye on the bug report https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/44523 -- to know when it's safe to upgrade the "clutter" package
Cheers

hi,
I tried your answer, but i have the same issue
downgrade gnome, clutter, cinnamon... ever same issue
another idea ?
Offline
@Nico: did you try the script mentioned above?
After all MY current solution (as suggested on the bug report) is to rebuild using abs and applying the upstream patch https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-s … bbd3.patch.
Of course only until this commit is included in the official package.

Hi,
same here. I tried both options mentioned here, and none of them work, i.e.
Downgrading clutter-1.22.0-2 to clutter-1.20.0-4
Edit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/cinnamonfix.sh with export CLUTTER_BACKEND=x11

Reporting in for the cinnamon crash since last update.
The script above worked for me and everything's now running as usual.
Anyone know what could be the possible cause of this bug?

This patch alone didn't solve all problems for me. Cinnamon did start but all window decorations were black. This commit is also needed:

also tried
Downgrading clutter-1.22.0-2 to clutter-1.20.0-4
and
Edit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/cinnamonfix.sh with export CLUTTER_BACKEND=x11
with no success

@lev my window decorations look fine.
I used ABS to rebuild cinnamon. I modified the PKGBUILD like this. Do this at your own risk
If neither the script nor dowgrading nor patching cinnamon-session work there might be another issue.

I have rolled back clutter and now cinnamon can launch.
I also rolled back gnome-themes-standard which fixed the adwaita parts of the themes that were missing.
However my window decorations are still black as well. I am using clearlooks phenix from the AUR. Have you found a solution to this problem?

I use numix themes from aur. So far there were no issues with black borders

Here to confirm that this workaround did the trick for me.
Thank you @BaNks
Note that 2.4.8 is already up with some other fix (decorations are wrong?).
Also, note that all of my GTK3 core is frozen at 3.10:
local/gtk3 3.10.7-1
local/gtkmm 2.24.4-1
local/gtkmm3 3.10.1-1
local/gtksourceview3 3.10.2-1
local/gtksourceviewmm 3.2.0-4
With those few Gnome apps that I must have coming from the same era:
# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
IgnorePkg = gtk3 gtkmm3 gtksourceview3 gksu libgksu libgtop gnome-terminal gnome-system-monitor file-roller eog

I didn't roll back all of those. I only rolled back gtk3 to the previous version and it fixed the black border on my theme after I rebooted. Thanks.

updated my system:
[ALPM] upgraded cinnamon (2.4.7-1 -> 2.4.8-1)
[ALPM] upgraded clutter-gtk (1.6.0-1 -> 1.6.0-2)
and then encountered this bug.
After applying workaround from BaNkS everything seems fine.
Offline
Downgrade gtk3-3.16.1-1 to gtk3-3.14.9-1 and clutter-1.22.0-2 to clutter-1.20.0-4 fixed window decoration.

For those that were unsuccessful with the workaround before the cinnamon 2.4.8 update, what display manager were you using? Or were you using the startx method. With SDDM and the workaround mentioned earlier, everything was fine for me.
Also, for those with window decoration issues, there is still an issue with muffin, and a recent commit that deals with it, so watch for an update to muffin soon, hopefully. See https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/44533

In my case I am using lightdm.

The workaround doesn't work for me, and I use Start X at login, no DM. Does it makes a difference in this issue ?
