-9999 didn't help. I still get the msg in dmesg about gnome-shell failing. I went back to 3.2.0-r1. Another difficulty has arising. I don't seem to be able to get out of fallback mode. Indeed even the command I used to get into fallback before is failing now. I think this should get me out of fallback oldlap ~ # gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session session-name gnome ** (process:3534): WARNING **: Command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=a80a835bfa47bbd35544058f0000000d --binary-syntax --close-stderr' exited with non-zero exit status 1: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n (msg repeated and snipped by allan) and this is just the command I successfully executed a day or two ago that now fails oldlap ~ # gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session session-name gnome-fallback ** (process:3540): WARNING **: Command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=a80a835bfa47bbd35544058f0000000d --binary-syntax --close-stderr' exited with non-zero exit status 1: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n (snipped) I should add that the first one above (trying to get back to straight gnome) was tried with the gnome-shell flag for gdm both set and unset. The failure is the same allan
