Hi,
my linux box has been updated so now cinnamon versions are:
cinnamon 4.6.1-1
cinnamon-control-center 4.6.0-1
cinnamon-desktop 4.6.0-1
cinnamon-menus 4.2.0-1
cinnamon-screensaver 4.6.0-1
cinnamon-session 4.6.0-1
cinnamon-settings-daemon 4.6.0-1
cinnamon-translations 4.6.0-1
After rebooting the system, I found that cinnamon desktop went to fallback mode.
I got only background image and some icons on desktop.
running cinnamon-settings applets showed that something went wrong with the default applets like calendar, keyboard, menu, etc and would not load correctly.
I have tried some workarounds like removing *.pyc, removing .config/dconf or .config/menus but had no success.
I also made a new user for clean account but got the same situation.
However, after logging with root, cinnamon worked correctly including applets.
journalctl -b -p 0..3 did not show something about cinnamon.
so my guess is on access right because root account is working but no clue.
It would be highly appreciated for advice.

If you can get a terminal, try running this command to get a better error message:
DISPLAY=:0 cinnamon --replace
This will restart cinnamon in the foreground of that terminal window, and it'll write its log messages to your session. You may be able to see some more-relevant logs that way.
