Sorry for the bother, but are there any plans to get this fix into
upstream on Ubuntu 14.x? This is the one thing holding many of us up
from upgrading and we are getting nervous because of End-of-Updates
coming so soon on Ubuntu 12.x.

Hi all,
I've reworked my solution and now, I guess, at least parts of it are
ready to be merged as SRU.
Summary:
* gnome-{session,desktop} - No backports this time, only bug fixing patches.
* metacity - Backport fresh gtk3 port with composting support and no artifacts.
* gnome-panel - Backport
Hey @eugenesan - I followed your instructions on installing your patched
packages, but it was still not working for me, at least using
tightvncserver on a newly-created EC2 instance running Trusty. Is there
anything I need to do other than pass --session=gnome-flashback as the
argument to
Thanks, folks, for getting this into action. Meanwhile, here's a problem
related to Eugene's backport:
Eugene provides a backport of gnome-session 3.12, but this package has a bug:
the gnome-session-quit command is broken. This prevents that users from
logging out of the session. The problem is
Eugene's patch to gnome-session disables acceleration check for *all*
sessions. I think it is still needed for gnome-shell, so we can't accept
it to Ubuntu as-is.

Has anyone tried speak about this with upstream?
Did not check Eugene's patch, but my idea is simple. Just add extra
command line option to allow disable acceleration check. If it is set,
than check should not be made. For example --disable-acceleration-check.
Than sessions who need it could add

This bug does also prevent starting the gnome fallback session on LTSP thin
clients. The only way I got it to start is by forcing DRI False in xorg.conf.
X will then not even try to use acceleration.
I will now try Eugenes PPA.

Eugene, your backports work. I (finally!) have accelerated graphics with LTSP!
That's great, I have been seaching for a solution of this bug literally for
years!
Can you get this fix into the normal trusty sources?

Hi @Ryan,
Thanks for advice.
Unfortunately, fixing only gnome-session won't fix gnome-flashback.
Actually I've already fixed it in my PPA (ppa:eugenesan/ppa).
Among the changes are:
1. Migration from metacity to xfwm4.
2. Backporting and tweaking of: gnome-desktop3, gnome-panel, gnome-session,
@Maxim:
You can just use ppa with fixed packages:
$ apt-add-repository ppa:eugenesan/ppa
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get upgrade
Note: ppa also contains unrelated to this bug packages, so be warned.
In addition you might take a look at the following article :
Hi Eugene,
Any user-friendly instructions on how to install packages from your PPA?
Or which packages need to be replaced?
Thank you.

Testing showed that disabling GL enforcement is not enough.
Seems like gnome-session-3.9.99 suffers from severe stability issues, it
crashes frequently with GL enforcement disabled.
I've prepared back-ported from gnome 3.12 package:
