I just did an upgrade of gnome-shell, gdm, etc. to 3.8.1 from 3.6. After doing so I have the rather odd bug where upon entering my password into gdm, gdm just sits there. I can hit cancel and enter my password again, but it never appears to actually check my password. I took a look at systemctl status gdm and got the following:
gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service; enabled)
Active: inactive (dead) since Mon 2013-05-06 22:20:33 PDT; 41min ago

Any ideas? Googling for issues with gkr-pam and gdm-password didn't seem to turn anything useful up.

I have the same problem, thanks for any tips.
Edit:
Installing libpng15 and reinstalling librsvg, libpng and gdk-pixbuf2 solved my problem.

Same issue here.
Also, I noticed that switching to console (Ctrl-Alt-F2) "freezes" the screen. Switching back (Ctrl-Alt-F1) works though (journalctl shows nothing).

i have a same proble with you, can't solve it , you can use kdm or lightdm which let us login the system! good luck

I think my problem may be related, although I have not tried GDM yet. I had Slim and after the update it was saying that my login failed and log says could not connect to X server. I tried a few things, then ditched it. Installed lxmd. Does not work either. Log says can not connect to greeter. I am lost.

Confirming the same problem.
Using LXDM to work around it.

Solved by installing libpng15 from AUR.

Solved by installing libpng15 from AUR.
Icons are broken, it's a dirty way to fix it (even if it works).
Thank you for your solution, I hope gnome packages will be upgraded soon !

Interesting. I see no change from installing libpng15.

Opps, you're right. I thought it may have been some anti-bump feature since I could still see the comment.

Reinstalling all of my packages by running "sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Qn | awk '{print $1}')" seems to fix the problem with gdm. However, now I have the "Oh no! Somehting has gone wrong" error from gnome. My xorg log doesn't seem to tell me anything (http://ugcs.caltech.edu/~myurko/Xorg.0.log). Any thoughts on other places to look for the cause of the error?

Upgrading gnome-icon-theme-symbolic fixed the problem for me.

I got past this thanks to this Google+ post suggesting to a) reinstall librsvg and b) redo the icon caches with:
# gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/gnome
# gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache
then restarting gdm. I just saw that gnome-icon-theme-symbolic bumped, so I wonder if installing that would have the same effect. If so, hopefully this will not crop up for most people.

Sorry for bumping this thread. But does anyone have an idea why updating librsvg and icon cache solve this problem?
This also solve the problem for me, but I'm very confused how this even work.
