Title:
gnome-shell crashes → unable to log in after artful upgrade
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
CONTEXT
I was running 17.04, and had manually installed gdm3, gnome-shell etc.
to use the GNOME Shell. I had also installed some extensions (from
both the respositories and through extensions.gnome.org).
I used "sudo do-release-upgrade" to upgrade from 17.04 to 17.10.
$ lsb_release -rd && apt-cache policy gnome-shell
Description: Ubuntu 17.10
Release: 17.10
gnome-shell:
Installed: 3.26.1-0ubuntu4
Candidate: 3.26.1-0ubuntu4
Version table:
*** 3.26.1-0ubuntu4 500
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
After rebooting, I tried to install in with all of the available sessions,
including:
- GNOME
- GNOME Classic
- GNOME on Xorg
- Ubuntu
- Ubuntu on Xorg
Expected: I'm able to log in to the desktop.
Observed: In every case, I would be kicked back to the GDM greeter.
WORKAROUND
Checking the output of `journalctl`, I noticed the following lines:
Oct 19 15:51:17 khaeru-laptop gnome-shell[30363]: loading default theme

Oct 19 15:51:17 khaeru-laptop gnome-session-binary[30205]: WARNING:
Application 'org.gnome.Shell.desktop' killed by signal 5
In particular, the complaint about the settings schema always appeared
as the last message before the "kernel: traps: gnome-shell" message.
On a hunch, I disabled all extensions:
$ dconf reset /org/gnome/shell/enabled-extensions
After this, I was able to log in.
COMMENT
I understand that my manual installation/use of Gnome Shell prior to
the upgrade might have produced some unusual contents in that dconf
key. The prior value was:
enabled-extensions=['places-menu@gnome-shell-
extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'user-theme@gnome-shell-
extensions.gcampax.github.com', '[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'suspend-button@laserb', '[email protected]', 'dash-to-
[email protected]']
The bug, IMO, is that this caused gnome-shell to crash that left me
unable to log in to any session. If particular extensions or dconf
keys are erroneous or broken, I would expect them to be disregarded
and perhaps some error message displayed while login continued.
