[SOLVED] Gnome3 3.32.2 keeps falling back to X11. Tried a few things.

Hey. I see the "Gnome" option and the "Gnome Xorg" in the user launcher but even when I have Gnome selected it falls back to X11.

How do I know this?

$XDG_SESSION_TYPE
x11

I have an AMD card RX550, already tried to load the amdgpu module early in the DKMS thingie and also adding

MUTTER_ALLOW_HYBRID_GPUS=1

to /etc/environment

Also adding stuff to the .bash_profile as shown in the wiki, no luck.

This is my journal:

https://pastebin.com/raw/ak934e71

Any help is appreciated!

Elaborate on "stuff", which stuff, post your exact file.

That journal is only the user session and doesn't contain any relevant information on what is happening earlier, post a

sudo journalctl -b

instead.

I already mentioned what I tried, but let me clarify the .bash_profile thing i tried, from the wiki:

To start on login to tty1, add the following to your .bash_profile:
if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]] && [[ -z $XDG_SESSION_TYPE ]]; then
  QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland exec dbus-run-session gnome-session
fi
In case it does not work as expected, you may try to change [[ -z $XDG_SESSION_TYPE ]] to [[ $XDG_SESSION_TYPE = tty ]].

Thanks.

Thanks, I see no duplicates:

gnome-classic.desktop
gnome.desktop
gnome-xorg.desktop
mate.desktop

on a proper default setup gnome.desktop will be a duplicate, is this the one from xsessions or the one from wayland-sessions? Did you try to rule out lightdm by omitting it and FWIW executing your bashrc, which would need you to log into a normal console session.

You might also want to rule out whether this is a slick-greeter issue.

Thank you. Removed lightdm, used gdm and started working. Something may be wrong in the lightdm starting scripts as you stated.
