Gnome workspace switch problem

alaneuler · 2015-12-05 10:32:32

Hello, everybody!
I am new to Arch. Today I was just finished installing Arch and Gnome desktop environment. But when I try to switch workspace, the whole Gnome desktop is stuck and nothing responds to me except mouse moving. I don't know what is happening. I didn't change anything that related to Gnome Settings when I finished installing Gnome.
Anyone can help me? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reading!
Details: after I finished installing Arch under the instructions by Beginner's Guide, I installed Gnome using command sudo pacman -S gnome, and then start gdm.service: sudo systemctl enable gdm.service, then I reboot my PC, and successfully the Gnome desktop environment showed up. And everything is fine, but when I try to switch workspace, it stuck, nothing responds to me but mouse pointer can move following to my mouse. Then after 10 or 20 seconds, workspace was changed and everything is fine again.

Are there any error messages in the journal?

I tried KDE, and it works pretty fine. So I decided to use KDE as my daily desktop environment.

Arch Linux
