Sorry, I must be very noobs but still can't get Cinnamon as desktop. These are the steps I followed:
Steps to install Raspberry Pi OS 64bit Lite + Cinnamon:
brand new install with Imager and upon boot and command line...
The monitor will show a blinking cursor at the top left and will stay there forever...
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.config is available but no line such as session= to change
/home/pi/.dmrc does not exist
Additionally, in case it helps troubleshoot:Lightdm shows FailedXorg log shows Error at the bottom - Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all framebuffer devices:lightdm log shows error "WARNING: Could not enumerate user data directory /var/lib/lightdm/data: Error opening directory '/var/lib/lightdm/data': No such file or directory" and deamon stoppingThank you in advance!
