Gnome 3.18 multiple errors

After gnome update to 3.18 version I experience multiple issues. The most critical is the inability to login, there is only the "Oh no! Something has gone wrong!" message and I am forced to log out. I have these kind of messeges in journalctl:

paź 10 10:43:08 latitudeE6330 polkitd[551]: Unregistered Authentication Agent for unix-session:c2 (system bus name :1.72, object path /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale pl_PL.utf8) (disconnected from bus)

I have tried to downgrade packages but no luck. I have found out that problem is somehow connected with multiple monitors configuration, when I disconnect them I am able to log in. Surprisingly when I use the root account I am able to log in with and without additionals displays connected.

Moreover there are some problems with starting and shuting down the gnome-session. Sometimes the screens goes black and the hard reset is the only way out.

Re: Gnome 3.18 multiple errors

I had the same and found out that a Gnome on Wayland session still worked (but that's unusable for other reasons).  A bit investigation revealed that the problem is that I had two monitors connected where one had no power cable attached.  Removing the second VGA cable from the graphics card did the trick.  It also worked again when I plugged in the power cable to the second monitor.

Re: Gnome 3.18 multiple errors

Install lxdm, if you have installed gdm, then disable gdm and enable lxdm, when the login screen opens only choose Gnome, and complete with your password, Luck.

Re: Gnome 3.18 multiple errors

I don't want to change my display manager. I suppose i will have to wait for gnome developers to fix this.
