Package: gdm3 Version: 3.0.4-4 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, *** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation? Upgraded a long-time working squeeze system using gnome to Wheezy. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Nothing more than change apt/sources.list from squeeze to wheezy. * What was the outcome of this action? gnome3 fails to launch. I have more than one nvidia graphics card in the computer. If I create an xorg.conf that mentions just one of them and I don't use it in multi-monitor mode I can get a working desktop. If I mention more than one graphics card, or I delete xorg.conf, when gnome tries to start it loads several instances of my user name across the top of one monitor, mentions 'zaphod mode not supported, using fallback mode', but then of course on the desktop there is no way to launch any applications. The entire top bar is filled with instances of my user name, and the only action I can take is to choose to log out or update prefrences. * What outcome did you expect instead? I expected gnome3 to simply 'just work' using the same known good xorg.conf that was working using squeeze earlier the same day on the same computer. *** End of the template - remove these lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gdm3 depends on: ii accountsservice 0.6.15-4 ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dconf-gsettings-backend 0.12.1-1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.43 ii gconf2 3.2.5-1 ii gnome-session [x-session-manager] 3.4.2.1-1 ii gnome-session-bin 3.4.2.1-1 ii gnome-session-fallback [x-session-manager] 3.4.2.1-1 ii gnome-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 3.4.1.1-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.4.2-1 ii libaccountsservice0 0.6.15-4 ii libatk1.0-0 2.4.0-2 ii libattr1 1:2.4.46-7 ii libaudit0 1:1.7.18-1.1 ii libc6 2.13-33 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.12.2-1 ii libcairo2 1.12.2-1 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.28-4 ii libcanberra0 0.28-4 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.0-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.98-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.9.0-6 ii libfreetype6 2.4.9-1 ii libgconf2-4 3.2.5-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.32.3-1 ii libglib2.0-bin 2.32.3-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.4.2-1 ii libpam-modules 1.1.3-7.1 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.3-7.1 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-7.1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii librsvg2-common 2.36.1-1 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-2 ii libupower-glib1 0.9.16-2 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-23 ii libx11-6 2:1.4.99.901-2 ii libxau6 1:1.0.7-1 ii libxdmcp6 1:1.1.1-1 ii libxklavier16 5.2.1-1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.2-2 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian6 ii metacity [x-window-manager] 1:2.34.3-2 ii policykit-1-gnome 0.105-2 ii upower 0.9.16-2 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 278-1 Versions of packages gdm3 recommends: ii at-spi 1.32.0-1 ii desktop-base 6.0.7 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.4.0-2 ii gnome-power-manager 3.4.0-2 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.4.2-3 ii x11-xkb-utils 7.7~1 ii xserver-xephyr 2:1.12.1.902-1 ii xserver-xorg 1:7.6+13 ii zenity 3.4.0-2 Versions of packages gdm3 suggests: ii gnome-mag 1:0.16.3-1 pn gnome-orca <none> pn gok <none> ii libpam-gnome-keyring 3.4.1-4 ii metacity 1:2.34.3-2 -- debconf information:
