Description:
Ever since updating to Cinnamon 5.0.x I had 2 desktop crashes on my main rig and one desktop crash on my Laptop. Whenever it crashes it asks if I want to restart the desktop, but clicking yes does nothing, no responsiveness on anything. I rolled back to Cinnamon 4.8.x on my main rig - no issues. Might be because some Cinnamon packages are still on 4.8.x (cinnamon-menus, cinnamon-translations) Reproduce: Main rig crashed twice while working with directories with lots (10k+) pictures inside. Laptop crashed today just as I was opening Discord. I have no idea where the logs would be, if someone knows this please share. PS: In the past Cinnamon updates broke because not all cinnamon packages were updated together, please bind them together with versions e.g. depdends=('cinnamon>=5.0.0') and only then push the updates. |

I tested the update before releasing it, and cinnamon didn't and doesn't crash for me. So there must be something more to it.
Can you try checking ~/.xsession-errors
Does there need to be set a loglevel somewhere?
I'll try write a script that may reproduce the crash.
Crash happened sort of randomly after 7h of work, rollbacked back to cinnamon 4.8.x. with no such issues again.
I had a fresh install on a new laptop and had no crashing issues with Cinnamon 5.X.X.
Went ahead and renamed ~/.cinnamon on my desktop while logged out and updated to 5.X.X, had no crashing issues on my desktop since either.
Guess I can stop downgrading cinnamon now finally.
Maybe close this and I'll add a little section to troubleshooting in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Cinnamon#Troubleshooting ?
