Package: gnome-session
Version: 3.34.2-1
Severity: important
Hi.
After trying to log into the "GNOME" session (btw. lightdm shows me two of
them), it immediately crashes
saying "oops something went wrong" and I'd have lo log out and try again (which
of course doesn't work
either).
There is no error message output on the screen or e.g. to .xsession-errors.
Starting:
gnome-shell --replace > gsh.log 2>&1 &
from e.g. cinnamon leads to this:
(gnome-shell:83843): mutter-WARNING **: 18:32:01.636: Ignoring invalid monitor
