[SOLVED] mutter or gnome 3.22 or gdm upgrade problem

Hi every one.
I have just upgraded my arch and I have a problem.
After normal booting, gnome session didn't start, the keyboard didn't work,  and  only normal systemd messages displayed in the text mode on the screen. I can log onto via ssh to my computer (polon) and I can get journal/logs. voila:

paź 14 21:31:20 polon org.gnome.Shell.desktop[485]: Window manager warning: Failed to create renderer: drmModeGetResources failed
paź 14 21:31:20 polon gnome-shell[485]: Failed to create backend: Failed to create MetaRenderer

paź 14 21:31:20 polon systemd-logind[391]: New session c2 of user gdm.

Please help me.

Re: [SOLVED] mutter or gnome 3.22 or gdm upgrade problem

I have new information.
Now I can use my computer normally
I turn off auto login in gdm (/etc/gdm/custom.conf >> AutomaticLoginEnable=False) and after that I just restart gdm daemon. Gdm and after log in, gnome start normally.
But it is even more strange form me, why window manager crash when gdm is in auto login mode?

Re: [SOLVED] mutter or gnome 3.22 or gdm upgrade problem

I was having the same issue (auto login enabled).
Instead of turning auto login off, you can disable wayland for gdm.
In your 'daemon' section of /etc/gdm/custom.conf add:

WaylandEnable=false

Since version 3.22, the default gnome session uses Wayland. I believe this is somewhat related, but I don't know exactly what the problem is.
Using nvidia drivers might be part of the issue as well.

Thanks lazork.

/etc/gdm/custom.conf

[daemon]
# Uncoment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false
 
AutomaticLoginEnable=True
AutomaticLogin=radekk

worked for me.

/etc/gdm/custom.conf

[daemon]
WaylandEnable=False
AutomaticLoginEnable=true

Worked for me as well. Thanks!
I'm curious what causes this behavior.

Stop bumping the thread with empty posts: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … mpty_posts

Upstream decided to make Wayland the default.
