Bug Description
I upgraded to 18.04 on my laptop and now I can't login using cinnamon (regular nor software mode). I renamed my local .cinnamon dir to .cinnamon.old but that did not help...
The screen goes black for a while and then it goes back to the login screen :(
On dmesg I found the following, that might be related:
[ 137.780216] do_trap: 11 callbacks suppressed

I suppose that can be something as recommends missed or something that can cause unexpected issue. desktop- environment including recommends solves many issue (major of cases about only one or more part) desktop- environment including recommends and gnome-user-share is something else that need more info and/or debug
FWIK install with cinnamon-
Another thing that can cause issue spotted by some users seems gnome-user-share.
If you already install cinnamon-
