[SOLVED]Gnome 3.18: "Oh no! Something has gone wrong!" and some ...

koroki · 2015-10-09 02:47:36

I've just installed the last version of gnome and I have a full of errors. The biggest one was the typical "Oh no! Something has gone wrong!", the full screen that avoid to do anything except logout. In my case, the "oh no" splash occurs just some instants before the loading of gnome-shell. I can work if I push Super key or Alt+F2, but is incredibly uncomfortable because is I try to close the "windows" of the error, the gnome.shell is restarting. I tried this solution but it doesn't solve my problem. In the "lg" option of gnome I couldn't find any error or information for understanding the error.
There are other errors in the computer, like the touchpad is not properly working (it is weirdly faster and the multitouch is not working). the icons is not loaded properly and some options of properties don't work, simply block the gnome-properties. As the splash of the error is really annoying, I couldn't check more.

During the upgrade, no error was reported. The upgrade was done form the last package of 3.16. My computer is a Toshiba laptop with i5.

In my case I can start only wayland session.
I will try to reset the gnome settings, maybe that will solve this issue.

I had the same issue and the culprit was the gnome-settings-daemon-backlight-toshiba package installed from the AUR. I installed gnome-settings-daemon which replaced the custom one and the Gnome error disappeared. I flagged the AUR package as outdated, hoping it gets updated soon so I can reinstall it.

It's the probably reason that what I have the problem. Thanks, because I couldn't find anything. How did you find it?

As I the Maintainer of the package, I tried to revise this weekend. Is there the same error of the last version of gnome?

I suspected that the problem was this package, since it is based on Gnome 3.16 and I imagined that the new gnome-settings-daemon would be incompatible. So I tried replacing the patched version and it worked. I've a Toshiba laptop as well. We had corresponded before regarding the backlight issue that you solved with this patched package.

The issue with backlight not working after sleep returned so the patch is necessary I'm afraid.

Yes, all solved, thanks.

Tomorrow I try to do the new version of the package. I cannot understand why this fact is not solved in the kernel...
