I think I've got more informations. It happens also to me, it's pretty annoying, but if you start with root account gnome-shell DOES start.
If you do startx from a non-root it sends tou to a classic gnome desktop. If you launch a terminal and try to launch gnome-shell it says ____________ $ gnome-shell failed to create drawable (gnome-shell:6684): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter: Unable to select the newly created GLX context Errore del window manager: Unable to initialize Clutter. ____________ I created a new user account, just to see if it was a personal configuration problem (that root doesn't have) and it doesn''t work exactly the same way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Team UGR, which is subscribed to ugr-meta. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/801464 Title: GDM won't start, no adwaita, after GDM update Status in Ubuntu Gnome Remix Metapackages: New Bug description: After updating the gdm, I rebooted the machine. After loading the kernel, I just ended up with a black screen. Rebooted using the recovery kernel to check for problems. No package problems found. Unable to start failsafeX. Rebooted back to standard kernel, repeat black screen when I should get GDM presented to me. Used Ctrl-Alt-1. Used startx from home-directory, got gnome shell started, but no Adwaita theme. Seems to have quite alot of themes missing from tweak-gnome-settings. Wallpaper is not the usual blue with vertical-panelling but a flat light blue wallpaper. Black panel at the top works fine. Dock works fine. window title-bars seem a low-resolution gtk2 variety.
