Package: gnome-session
Version: 3.0.2-3
Severity: normal
Hello dear Maintainer,
Ever since I upgraded to GNOME 3, gnome-session fails to start normally.
Whenever I login on gdm3, I immediately get an error message saying that
gnome-session failed to load and I only get an x-term window after
pressing OK. "GNOME" session, "GNOME-failsafe" or "System default" session
all lead to the same problem. I do not have a .xsession file in my user
directory and I am relying on the systems defaults to load gnome-session.
However, .xsession-errors contains the following after login:
/etc/gdm3/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
/etc/gdm3/Xsession: Executing gnome-session failed, will try to run
x-terminal-emulator
The odd thing is that when I type "gnome-session" in the xterm window I
get after login, it seems to load fine and it starts the various GNOME
components normally (gnome-settings-daemon, gnome-shell, etc).
I'd be happy to give more details but I'm not sure exactly where to
look.
Thanks,
Nicolas
