Bug description

After upgrading to mint 22.1, there are constant freezes and crashes happening with cinnamon. Sometimes it takes hours to start happening from a --replace command, other times a dozen minutes. I have tried resetting cinnamon settings using looking glass, and making sure no other applets are installed, but bug still occurs.
Sometimes when switching workspaces the windows of all of both of the workspaces will appear on each workspace, and I will have to use the command cinnamon --replace to fix it, but it will start happening again, but otherwise I don't know what in particular causes it.

Steps to reproduce

Just using the system normally, or using the corner bar to switch workplace can also cause bugs
Resuming from suspend will cause micro stutters every minute or so until I cinnamon --replace, but that seems unrelated to the long freezes and crashes.

Expected behavior

n/a

Additional information

Here is crash log from system report I found: https://pastebin.com/uXKevBR8

I looked through the terminal logs and here are some errors that I picked out. They are repeated 100s of times so I can't post them all.

From a fast look one of the bug of the logs posted seems was solved in c451c0d
But I don't know if will solve also (or all) your crash case.

[henriquedesousa]

Ah yes, I knew I wasn't the only one. Since I'm using this machine with Mint for more than 6 years (CPU: dual core Intel Core i5-6300U (-MT MCP-) speed/min/max: 2903/400/3000 MHz Kernel: 6.8.0-52-generic x86_64 Up: 11m Mem: 3.06/15.51 GiB(19.7%)) so I noticed immediately that cinnamon was behaving after the 22.1 upgrade. Today I also had the first crash, I had just login and was updating packages on Update Manager and tried to Alt+Tab when this crash happened: https://termbin.com/47nw

Should I open a new thread?

[Fantu]

To make backtrace of crash useful debug packages of all components involved should be installed.
Can be faster/easier use debuginfod, but I think will work only with Ubuntu packages and not the mint specific one (that will require manual installation of needed debug packages.

What info can I provide to help with this issue? I tried installing debuginfod, but am unclear how to extract info from it?

Thanks.

In ~/.xsession-errors is where cinnamon errors are logged, apparently. There should be some info in that.

[Fantu]

In ~/.xsession-errors there are errors/warning only related to some cases, in case of crash in major of cases is needed a backtrace decoded to found the cause.
debuginfod help to download all debug files needed by a specific backtrace, firstly you need to have a core dump of the crash (for example the one linked by @henriquedesousa ), and it seems to me that mint is set to create them if I remember correctly.
Then having the core dump it opens with gdb by first setting debuginfod as specified in the link.
For mint specific packages I guess it doesn't work and you will need to manually download additional debug packages if you find undecoded symbols (I've never used it on Mint)

[zolstarym]

Could any of the errors be related to Nvidia drivers, or the experimental fractional scaling setting in display?

Thank you for your time to look at this.
