I don't think so: it doesn't look as though gnome-shell immediately
exited.

I don't think anyone is going to be able to solve this with the
information available. If this hasn't recurred, hasn't happened to
anyone else, and doesn't have an obvious cause logged, then we might
have to write it off as "probably fixed in 3.30.x" or "probably won't
happen again".

This looks as though these various programs were unable to connect to an
X or Wayland display: that's a symptom, not a cause. If you go further
back in the log, are there any log messages from gdm, gnome-shell or
Xorg that might indicate why the X or Wayland display could not start?

Thanks,

Bug#907490: gnome-shell: Unrecoverable failure in required component org.gnome.Shell.desktop

2018-08-28 Thread william l-k
Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.28.3-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,


After a recent power failure lasting multiple hours, the battery backup on my
laptop ran out of power and the system shut down. Once power was restored and I
restarted the machine, I booted into a minimal GUI with black background and
x-cursor. Without gnome controls, I was unable to get a terminal from the
minimal session, so I switched to another tty. From there I was able to
troubleshoot.

None of the following solved the problem:

rebooting
update/upgrade then rebooting
merging last lvm-snapshot of the root directory
alt +f2 and then r
sudo systemctl restart gdm
killall -HUP gnome-shell
sudo systemctl restart gdm

>From GDM controls:
trying default x11 and gnome

Trying alternate kernel


The portion of the log near the times of start attempts had sections like
these:
