Cinnamon in fallback mode
Cinnamon is fallback mode on mint 17.3 64 bit cannot get it to start properly
here is x org output https://pastebin.com/aUCU64vz |
Hey we'll need some more info such as: do you get to any gui or do you have to log in on command line? does it boot to emergency mode? are you referring to cinnamon running in software rendering mode? Did you do anything that could have messed it up?

"Applications" and "Places" are, as far as I am aware, part of Gnome desktop, not Cinnamon.
Did you try installing Gnome desktop on your Mint system? |
