Bug#758810: [gdm3] gdm3: fails to start gnome
Thanks for your quick response. Indeed that was the problem. My shell configuration files were quite old. I have updated them with the changes in /etc/skel. In addition, for some reason I had .bash_profile instead of .profile, and the later was a symlink to the former. The symlink dated back to October 2008. I fixed this too, and now it is working correctly. Thanks for your help! Cheers, Josep M. Perez On 21/08/14 17:22, Simon McVittie wrote: On 21/08/14 15:51, Josep M.

Bug#758810: [gdm3] gdm3: fails to start gnome
Package: gdm3 Version: 3.12.2-2.1 Severity: grave --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Since upgrading from gdm to gdm3, it fails to start both the gnome-shell session and the classic gnome session. KDM launches them correctly, however it is not a good solution since kdm does not work correctly with screen locking in gnome 3. The following lines show the logs that I get since entering the password until it is about to restart the X server to show the greeter again: Aug 21 13:28:31 bsccs243 gdm-Xorg-:0[21068]: (II) AIGLX: Resuming AIGLX clients after VT switch Aug 21 13:28:31 bsccs243 gdm-Xorg-:0[21068]: (II) NOUVEAU(0): NVEnterVT is called.
