Description

Distribution

Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 ported to arm64

Package version

cinnamon 6.4.8+faye

Graphics hardware in use

Intel Iris X

Frequency

Always

Bug description

If Cinnamon is started, the buttons next to the menu are missing. I presume these are the grouped-window-list as seen to be not loading in ~/.xsession-errors. The link to the file is
https://termbin.com/2mys.
All packages that are usually installed in LMDE6 x86 are ported to arm64 and installed.

Regards,
Jeroen Diederen

Steps to reproduce

It always happens.

Expected behavior

I expected it to load the grouped-window-list as usual in LMDE 6.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked ~/.xsession-errors output and the grouped-window-list implementation, then reproduce Cinnamon on the reported LMDE6 arm64 setup. Identify why the applet fails to load and verify that the buttons next to the menu appear when Cinnamon starts.
