Cinnamon crash on startup

my cinnamon-session failed to start. seems cinnamon-launcher can't find some file, because I got this:

Re: Cinnamon crash on startup

How are you starting cinnamon?  Has cinnamon ever worked on this system is it newly installed?
Please post the system's xorg.log plus any associated config files.

Re: Cinnamon crash on startup

I don't use display manager. Starting it manually.

Where can I find xorg.log?

Re: Cinnamon crash on startup

Xorg.log doesn't save cinnamon-session log. I did tail -f on it, then run cinnamon-session. It crash. And Xorg.log doesn't give any output from cinnamon. cinnamon text can't be found too in xorg.log file. But, this is from journalctl -xe:

Re: Cinnamon crash on startup

He's not looking for "cinnamon text" but likely whether the glx module failed (for it sounds a lot like that)
Please provide your xorg log.

Re: Cinnamon crash on startup

The xorg.log not mentioning cinnamon is normal I asked for it ( plus any associated config files ) as it may help explain this line

(cinnamon:933): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter: Unable to initialize the Clutter backend: no available drivers found.
