[Solved-ish] Oh No! Something has gone wrong! Gnome 3

Here is the gdm log: http://pastebin.com/QcasaVN4
And here is the Xorg.0 log: http://pastebin.com/ENQfp7ds

Any ideas? Id really like my gnome shell back

Edit: it should be noted that Gnome Classic works as does Cinnnamon.

Including more information here (eg, WHAT has "gone wrong"?), and especially editing your subject to something helpful will solicit much better feedback from others: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questio … bespecific

Oh no! Something has gone wrong is an error message that gnome gives when you try to log on. It looks somewhat like this.

If I knew the error I'd fix it. Unfortunately Gnome doesn't give any more detail. I checked the gdm an xorg logs and I couldn't figure it out. Thats why I posted them to see if anyone else could. I do not know what other information I should supply.

I could make a snarkey comment about that is how Gnome looks in my experience, but I shan't.   My very best suggestion is to delete or rename your Gnome configuration directories and try again.  Or try it as a different user and see if that works.

Thank you ewaller. I tried both of your suggestions and neither worked so I uninstalled gnome and installed it again. It now works. Thanks

You might find an actual error message in `~/.cache/gdm/session.log`. Also, if you feel up for it, report a bug upstream (to GNOME) because that is a depressingly useless error message.
