[Solved]Gnome 3.6: cannot login

Revelation60 · 2012-11-27 09:03:13

I cannot login to Gnome 3.6 anymore since a couple of days. The "oh no" window appears and kicks me out. I am using gdm, with which I can login to E17 perfectly.

Here's part of my journal:

I have a lot of warnings, as you can see. Any help would be appreciated!

I noticed your logs mention that systemd was unable to activate networkmanager, have you tried reinstalling?
Also, Try running

 systemctl status dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service

and see what it tells you.
Or maybe it's a problem with dbus...

Revelation60 · 2012-11-28 08:39:21

I don't have networkmanager installed, since I am using netcfg. This wasn't a problem in the past.

caltac · 2012-11-30 03:05:04

Try reinstalling dbus?
Or maybe this could provide some insight.

virubakkh · 2012-11-30 06:05:19

What's your locale.conf settings?
It seems like gnome-shell translation files have a problem, however when I set LC_MESSAGES to en_US.UTF-8, I can login to it.

LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8

Reinstalling dbus nor setting the LC_MESSAGES helped for me

caltac · 2012-12-01 03:03:40

Had you recently updated your system before gnome stopped working?

Revelation60 · 2012-12-01 09:19:34

Yes, I update daily. I waited a few days (3 I think) to see if a new update would patch the problem.

caltac · 2012-12-01 18:21:45

Have you fully migrated to systemd?
It looks like in this thread, a few users had similar errors to you and were able to solve the problem by fully migrating to systemd, maybe that could help you as well?

Revelation60 · 2012-12-01 22:14:25

I have migrated months ago. Unfortunately, the suggested solutions in the thread aren't working for me:(

caltac · 2012-12-02 07:31:38

Well, I guess maybe as a last resort you could try downgrading gnome and maybe that could work?
You could run

 systemctl status dbus-org.bluez.service

and

 systemctl status dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service

and see if that helps? That's what the error messages in your logs say to do, I don't know if you've already done that.

I usually use awesome window manager, but I tried logging into gnome and I got the same error as you.
I solved the problem by doing this:
I booted from the system rescue cd, chrooted and uninstalled gdm. Exit chroot environment, unmount partitions and reboot. Now I can start my gnome session just fine using a .xinitrc file and

 startx

. Maybe that could also work for you.

Revelation60 · 2012-12-02 19:57:16

I tried to do the following:

systemctl stop gdm
startx

with the following in my .xinirc:

exec gnome-session

Unforunately, I get the same screen, albeit with a slightly different error message:

I think the error is caused by evolution-data-server. This dependency of gnome-session crashes first (evolution-sourc is probably evolution-source-registry) and then gnome itself crashes. No idea what's causing this though.

I have finally fixed the problem by removing ALL the gnome user files (here is where they are). I suspect that some of my online account information was corrupted, causing a segfault in evolution-data-server, resulting in a segfaul in gnome-session. Sigh.

I had the same problem mentioned above.
Gnome error log mentioned "Failed to give slave programs access to the display"
The solution mentioned here about removing gnome settings in home/ did not work for me.

What worked was installing nvidia drivers instead of the nouveau drivers that I was using.

Here is how I installed nvidia drivers

mkinitcpio -p linux

pacman -Rdd mesa-libgl-git

pacam -S nvidia nvidia-utils

Reboot and things gnome3 started working again.

I am going to go ahead and close this thread. We are long past Gnome 3.6 and the last post in this thread is more than a year old. If this thread needs to continue, please go ahead and start a new thread. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … Bumping.22
