Bug 506862 – gnome-base/gnome-shell-3.10 stops displaying text and icons

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael 2014-04-05 20:30:32 UTC]

Gnome starts without problems, but occasionally during the use it stops displaying text and icons.
On most of case the bug appears simply by going on the top left corner to open "activity", in other case it appears during the normal use.

Version in use:
-gnome-base/gnome-shell-3.10.4-r1
-gnome-base/gnome-3.10.0

Please attach your "emerge --info gnome-shell clutter cogl mesa" output.

Are you using a proprietary video driver (ati-drivers, nvidia-drivers), and if so, which version?

What x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel version? Please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log after reproducing the issue (and before logging out from gnome session). Also look at journalctl -e output while you are suffering it

[Comment 5 Pacho Ramos 2014-04-12 09:36:31 UTC]

also try with 3.10.4-r2
