Bug 449452 – gnome-base/gnome-3.6.2: Can't login and GNOME 3.6 Upgrade Guide does not work

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Juergen Rose 2012-12-31 13:38:56 UTC]

After upgrading from gnome-3.4.1(gnome-desktop-3.4.2-r1) to gnome-3.6.2(gnome-desktop-3.6.2) I can't login as user rose on two systems (both with nvidia cards and nouveau drivers). The login fails with something like:

Oh no! Something has gone wrong. (A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. All extensions have been disabled as a precaution. Log Out. Nothing is written to /home/rose/.xsession-errors.

If I try to login as a other user, it can be succesfull. Thus, I suppose it has something to do with the enabled extension.

If I look at 
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/gnome/howtos/gnome-3.6-upgrade.xml ,
it is recommend to do 'eselect gnome-shell-extensions enable [e-mail]'. But this command fails for me:

root@condor:/usr/local/portage/gnome-extra(47)# eselect gnome-shell-extensions enable '[e-mail]'
!!! Error: Failed to find extension [e-mail]
exiting

I don't have such an extension:

root@condor:/usr/local/portage/gnome-extra(55)# eselect gnome-shell-extensions list

If I run as user rose gnome-tweak-tool in a ssh-session, there are not any extensions shown for user rose. Is there any way do disable the extensions on the command line or by editing ~/.gnome*, ~/.gconf* or ~/.local*?

[Comment 1 Juergen Rose 2012-12-31 13:48:06 UTC]

BTW, it looks from 'eselect gnome-shell-extensions list', see my last posting, whether [e-mail] is enabled. If I try to disable this extension with 'eselect gnome-shell-extensions disable 16' or with 'eselect gnome-shell-extensions disable [e-mail]' nothing is changed:

At an third system I can login, but almost all extensions does not work anymore.
The Application Menu, the Panel Favorites and Bottom Panel are especially important. But Shut down menu. Moving of clock, Cpu frequency and Netmonitor would be also nice.
I tried to enable Panel_Favorites similar to the description in 
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/gnome/howtos/gnome-3.6-upgrade.xml :

There is a star at item 12. I restarted gnome-shell, but I do not have any favorites in my upper pannel. gnome-tweak-tools shows an exclamation mark for Panel favorites, see the attached image.

I still can't login via gdm into a gnome session on two systems. At "condor" I see in /var/log/messages and in  ~rose/.cache/gdm/session.log some strange messages from /home/rose/.nvidia-settings-rc:

At the second system ("lynx"), where I can't login into a gnome seession, I see similar messages concerning nm-applet and CalendarServer. And I still get a libnotify-WARNING from gnome-settings daemon:

(gnome-settings-daemon:3934): libnotify-WARNING **: Failed to connect to proxy
Failed to receive server caps.


How can I manage, that gnome-shell does not try to start nm-applet? I apologize for this long posting.

> How can I manage, that gnome-shell does not try to start nm-applet? 

Deleting nm-applet (emerge -C nm-applet) seems not to help, because it is installed again as dependency of gnome-shell.

[Comment 8 Juergen Rose 2013-01-29 11:13:37 UTC]

If I try, to login as an other user rosetest into "lynx", I come until a dialog box, which ask me, whether I want to adjust the name of my standard folders (Desktop, Template ...) from englisch to german. But neither this dialog box nor any other menu accepts any input. Pressing Windows-Key also not work. The only chance I have, is pressing CTL-ALT-F1 and kill gdm-binary.

Any idea?

[Comment 9 Juergen Rose 2013-01-29 11:35:00 UTC]

(In reply to comment #8)
 
> Any idea?

Maybe the reason is a dialog box from wicd (Wicd needs to access your computer's network card), which is in the background, but has the input focus. At least, if I login as a third user I see this dialog boxes.

Is there any way to get rid of this dialog box from wicd. Here in the institute and at home the net configuration this laptop ("lynx") has a hard IP addresses:

root@lynx:/lib/modules(28)# grep config_br0 /etc/conf.d/net
config_br0="192.168.2.11 netmask 255.255.255"

But on the road I would like to use wicd for the net configuration. Therefore I use app-admin/quickswitch-1.05 to switch between Home, Institute and OnTheRoad net configuration. But it is a pity, that at home and in the institute, where wicd is not running:

root@lynx:/lib/modules(29)# /etc/init.d/wicd status
 * status: stopped

gnome annoys me with the wicd dialog boxes.

[Comment 10 Juergen Rose 2013-02-19 10:32:28 UTC]

I created a new user rose_test at condor and removed all shell-extensions (gnome-shell-extensions, gnome-shell-frippery and eselect-gnome-shell-extensions). But also this new user can not login via gdm into gnome, it hangs with a grey square in the center of the usual blue gnome background. In  ~rose_test/.cache/gdm/session.log I see:

Is the GeForce 7600 GS too old for gnome-3.6?

root@condor:/root(5)# lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600 GS] (rev a1)

After installing new kernel 3.8.0 the attempt to login the new user seems to hang at the same point. Only ~rose_test/.cache/gdm/session.log is now a little bit shorten than before.
