Cinnamon not loading after update

Trying to load from LightDM, I just get a mouse pointer with nothing else (even though the startup programs seem to .. start up). When I try cinnamon --replace in Xfce or Gnome, it just crashes with this error message:

Clutter:ERROR:x11/clutter-stage-x11.c:1290:clutter_x11_get_stage_window: assertion failed: (CLUTTER_IS_STAGE_X11 (impl))

Has anyone else got the same problem?

EDIT: Here's my .xsession-errors: https://gist.github.com/agwilt/5c5e84f6c345b8e1065b

Re: Cinnamon not loading after update

Are you sure you have your video drivers and Xorg configured properly? Last time this happened to me was because the wrong drivers where installed, and Xorg couldn't start properly.

Have you tried other DEs? Download gnome and see if you get further than a cursor

Gnome works. I now just downgraded cinnamon and libcroco again for now.

I had the same issue. I downgraded libcroco too, but can run the latest cinnamon version. I think it's related to themes using css files over scss files. It's probably safe to update cinnamon. I've heard the default cinnamon theme should work.

Downgraded libcroco. Works fine now.
Edit.
When libcroco is updated cinnamon --replace eats whole CPU thread.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/47367
I think libcroco 0.6.10 broken. He hangs some third-party css, I found the commit which breaks it and cancelled. Now everything works as before. Try to compile and install using my PKGBUILD.

pkgname=libcroco
pkgver=0.6.10
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A CSS parsing library"
arch=('x86_64' 'i686')
depends=('glib2' 'libxml2')
makedepends=('intltool' 'gtk-doc')
license=('LGPL')
source=(${pkgname}::git://git.gnome.org/libcroco#tag=${pkgver})
url="http://www.gnome.org"
sha256sums=(SKIP)

prepare() {
 cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}"
 git revert --no-edit bc9b2c339e1181f8c69a2f74a93876932e352d6d
}

build() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}"
  ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --disable-static
  make
}

package() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}"
  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install
}

Save as PKGBUILD
Run makepkg -si
