Pity, that would have been my suggestion, as this usually fixes any problems with GDM and gnome-shell for me after upgrades. The question here is: is it a failure of GDM or gnome-shell? The exact point where GDM starts gnome-shell is hard to pin-point, of course, but the logs (even those on TTY1, Ctrl-Alt-F1) might tell you something about whether it is gnome-shell that is crashing or if it doesn’t even get that far. Other problems may include a failure to start some user services via dbus. This is tricky and frustrating. I hope someone here will come up with an idea to make this more robust. -- Ricardo
