GDM login no longer works after upgrade to Gnome 3.16

Netpilgrim · 2015-04-10 03:17:41

I have just upgraded to Gnome 3.16 and now when I try to log in from GDM, I get a short visual distortion of the screen and the login screen appears again without error message.

I would appreciate any help in debugging this issue.

What is in your journal?

Netpilgrim · 2015-04-10 03:39:54

Output of "journalctl -e -u gdm":

Edit 1: I tried configuring auto login, which resulted in no login screen being shown, the short visual distortion I have mentioned before, and then no graphical environment at all. I was back in the console from where I had restarted gdm. So it seems to me that it is not really the login that is not working but starting gnome after the login.

Edit 2: Putting "exec gnome-session" in my .xinitrc and using startx works. Gnome starts without any problem.

There are a couple of other people complaining about GDM after the upgrade: seems something is borked...

guerch · 2015-04-10 05:28:55

it sure did borked my system

sad, this is the first time my arch failed on me, any ideas on how to fix it?

jasonwryan · 2015-04-10 05:33:44

Do what Netpilgrim did and bypass GDM...

Fixing it probably requires a bug report.

bmanuel · 2015-04-10 09:10:43

I've the same output of guerch, but i can only get gnome-shell to start by forcing automatic login by editing the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file this way:

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=True
AutomaticLogin=<my user name>

guilhermemtr · 2015-04-10 12:21:32

I still cant get to gnome shell, even adding the file .xinitrc and putting exec gnome-session there. Also tried bmanuel's suggestion and didnt work.
Isn't this bug related? https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do … k_id=44344

This seems to be a different problem where GDM does not start at all. I have no problem getting the login screen. Also, the library discussed there (libgirepository-1.0.so) is not missing on my system.

This is what my .xinitrc looks like:

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
  done
  unset f
fi

[ -f ~/.xprofile ] && source ~/.xprofile

exec gnome-session

I currently log in at the console, stop GDM with “sudo systemctl stop gdm” and then execute “startx”.

Enabling auto login for GDM did not work for me, either.

guilhermemtr · 2015-04-10 13:30:49

I think i have a different issue since i cant even get to gdm (lightdm either). Startx does not work too

guerch · 2015-04-10 14:03:54

In my case, i get the white screen of death ( something went wrong ... with the logout option) but i have a shell i can press the window key and do whatever, quite wierd

cris9288 · 2015-04-10 14:48:14

I believe GDM now defaults to wayland (though it should fallback to X if Wayland doesn't work). Do you have xorg-server-xwayland installed?

I just installed and got the same error. I have no clue of what the problem might be. I even installed lxde and it wont get to lxdm (just gets the same black screen)

it started just after the gnome update at 22.38 update. I put the previous part since i really have no clue of what the problem might be and in the previous update nvidia driver's were upgraded

I believe GDM now defaults to wayland (though it should fallback to X if Wayland doesn't work). Do you have xorg-server-xwayland installed?

Installing it didn’t change anything for me, either.

guilhermemtr · 2015-04-10 15:40:17

somewhere in my xorg.0.log it says that a screen 1 was deleted.
I run Xorg-configure and now a mouse appears (as a cross) but no gdm though.

In my case I solved, re-enabling extension check in dconf-editor. it was stuck because I had automatic login enabled on an user that was loading an old incompatible extension.

guilhermemtr · 2015-04-10 15:54:43

I dont have automatic login enabled so it should just go to gdm i think

parad0x · 2015-04-10 16:02:20

Yes it should, It's another problem.

I ran journalctl -r ad I saw tons of errors about this extension.
since I got here to solve my problem I thought somebody might have the same problem as me.

I had mouse, and noisy-gray gdm background but it was stuck there.
If you can't start X with xinit It's not a gdm problem.
It was working before the update of gdm? if not you might have to check if you have installed xf86-video-??? xf88-input-evdev etc...

the problem is something regarding nvidia's driver i would say, since i changed xorg to use intel's one and it allowed me to run lxde with 640*320 pixels. or something like that. however, i cant get the resolution right and cant login to gnome by lxdm too.

guilhermemtr · 2015-04-10 17:27:40

ok i have set up to run on intel graphics, now lxde is working well, with the correct definition, etc. But i cant get to gnome, it says something has gone wrong. im using lxdm, gdm does not work
