[Solved] Desktop Icon missing text

I am currently having a issue with the desktop icons having missing text on my Lenovo Ideapad 110S with Artix Linux Open RC base with Cinnamon as the only operating system on it. I installed it a few days ago. I know it is only cosmetic, but it is very annoying for me.  It also affects the lock screen for Cinnamon. I also checked the Cinnamon page on the arch wiki for this problem, it wasn't there.  Here is some screenshots. I wonder if it is to do with some packages.

Turns out that it was the xf86-video-intel driver that was causing Cinnamon issues. I read the arch wiki on how to install the Cinnamon x apps on the Cinnamon page, then I saw a note which was saying that using Cinnamon with the xf86-video-intel driver can cause Cinnamon issues. If you are reading this and having screen issues with Cinnamon on intel graphics, make sure the xf86-video-intel package is not installed, if it is uninstall it and it will most likely fix the issue. For more information go to this page on the arch wiki. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cinnamon#Installation

Type this command in the to uninstall xf86-video-intel driver.

Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -Rs xf86-video-intel
