[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1162466] Re: GDM wont start on Ubuntu GNOME using Gnome3 ppa
Re. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2129554page=2p=12585881#post12585881 I tried what you suggested, installing ubuntu-gnome-desktop, but it gave me ubuntu-gnome-desktop is already the newest version so that's not the problem. Tried booting in rescue mode with failsafe X but still got the blue blinds with only the mouse cursor, so it's not related to the ati driver either. But I think I nailed the sucker due to this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2131890p=12586232#post12586232 gnome-shell version gives me 3.6.3.1 (should have been 3.8.0 something) gdm version gives me 3.8.0 I installed apt-show-version and ran 'sudo apt-show-version gnome-shell' , it said gnome-shell was upgradeable from 3.6.3.1 to 3.8.0.1 I tried 'sudo apt-get upgrade gnome-shell' and got 0 upgraded and 29 packages held back So due to some odd dependency gnome-shell and 28 other packages are not upgraded when upgrading Ubuntu-GNOME to 3.8 using the Gnome3 ppa, leaving gnome-shell at version 3.6.3.1 and gdm at version 3.8.0 (earlier at 3.7.90) and the two packages, and maybe more, are conflicting, causing gnome-shell to crash in my case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1162466 Title: GDM wont start on Ubuntu GNOME using Gnome3 ppa Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I tried to upgrade to pre Gnome 3.8 by using the Gnome3 ppa, the update itself went well but when i restarted the only thing I got was the blue blinds background with a mouse courser, nothing else, no login promt.

Additional info: When I have the blue blinds background with a mouse courser ( plymouth ), I tried Ctrl-Alt-F1 which brought up the command line. Typed 'apport-collect 1162466' and was told to install python-apport, I did with 'sudo apt-get install python-apport'. Tried 'apport-collect 1162466' again and was told that 'the launchpadlib python module is not installed'. After a bit googling on my other pc, I did 'apt-get install python-launchpadlib'. Tried 'apport-collect 1162466' again and got through to launchpad, after a while I was promted to accept the transfer of logfiles in my browser, geesh, from the command line ! Therefore I attach my /var/log/apport.log and my /var/crash/_usr_bin_gnome-shell.114.crash Hope it is of value when troubleshooting :) ** Attachment added: apport-chrash-log.zip https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1162466/+attachment/3614450/+files/apport-chrash-log.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1162466 Title: GDM wont start on Ubuntu GNOME using Gnome3 ppa Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I tried to upgrade to pre Gnome 3.8 by using the Gnome3 ppa, the update itself went well but when i restarted the only thing I got was the blue blinds background with a mouse courser, nothing else, no login promt.

Stinger, there isn't enough information here for us to figure out what's wrong. Could you please try running apport-collect 1162466? In the future, please use ubuntu-bug to report bugs. This is supported for the GNOME3 PPA packages in Raring since last week.
