Actually, this still doesn't work with gnome-shell-3.14.4-18.el7.x86_64 mutter-3.14.4-5.el7.x86_64 The following error appears in the journal: Jul 17 13:01:30 underdesk gnome-session[2665]: (gnome-shell:2714): Gjs-WARNING **: JS ERROR: TypeError: monitor is null Jul 17 13:01:30 underdesk gnome-session[2665]: LayoutManager<._updateTrayBarrier@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/layout.js:513 Jul 17 13:01:30 underdesk gnome-session[2665]: wrapper@resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/lang.js:169 Jul 17 13:01:30 underdesk gnome-session[2665]: LayoutManager<._monitorsChanged@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/layout.js:532 Jul 17 13:01:30 underdesk gnome-session[2665]: wrapper@resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/lang.js:169 Jul 17 13:01:30 underdesk gnome-session[2665]: LayoutManager<._init@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/layout.js:253 Jul 17 13:01:30 underdesk gnome-session[2665]: wrapper@resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/lang.js:169 Jul 17 13:01:30 underdesk gnome-session[2665]: _Base.prototype._construct@resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/lang.js:110 Jul 17 13:01:30 underdesk gnome-session[2665]: Class.prototype._construct/newClass@resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/lang.js:204 Jul 17 13:01:30 underdesk gnome-session[2665]: _initializeUI@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/main.js:135 Jul 17 13:01:30 underdesk gnome-session[2665]: start@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/main.js:112 Jul 17 13:01:30 underdesk gnome-session[2665]: @<main>:1 Jul 17 13:01:30 underdesk gnome-session[2665]: ** Message: Execution of main.js threw exception: JS_EvaluateScript() failed Jul 17 13:01:31 underdesk gnome-session[2665]: (gnome-settings-daemon:2691): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_proxy_call_internal: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_PROXY (proxy)' failed Sorry, my bad - I wrote and tested this on master and backported the result, so I missed some bits that have been removed since 3.14. Those bits should now be fixed with gnome-shell-3.14.4-19.el7 mutter-3.14.4-6.el7 Appreciate your fast response, Florian! The JS ERROR is gone now, however gnome-shell still doesn't start: Jul 17 16:44:52 underdesk gnome-session[2661]: Entering running state Jul 17 16:44:57 underdesk gnome-session[2661]: (gnome-settings-daemon:2688): media-keys-plugin-WARNING **: 4: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus Jul 17 16:44:57 underdesk gnome-session[2661]: current session already has an ibus-daemon.

I'm currently in the process of installing a 7.2 VM, hopefully I'll be able to test headless startup there ... I can definitely try what you suggested, however I'm just leaving and will be on vacation next week. If you are not wiser till then, I'll get back to you the week after (starting Monday 27). (In reply to Florian Müllner from comment #5) > I'm currently in the process of installing a 7.2 VM, hopefully I'll be > able to test headless startup there ... Unfortunately it doesn't look like it - I can remove the video output in virt-manager, but only re-add it when powered off. gdm/gnome-shell appeared to be running fine though (as seen from an SSH login), and with a couple more fixes[0] I'm able to use xrandr from within a user session to turn outputs off and on. I'm afraid for now I'm out of ideas how to do any better without access to the real thing, so punting back to testing. [0] mutter-3.14.4-9.el7 gnome-shell-3.14.4-23.el7 gnome-shell-extensions-3.14.4-7.el7 (In reply to Florian Müllner from comment #5) > Does it work if you start up with a monitor attached, then unplug and replug > it? Yes, the image comes up fine on the monitor in this case you described. Currently I'm using: mutter-3.14.4-9.el7.x86_64 gnome-shell-3.14.4-23.el7.x86_64 However, headless boot still doesn't work with these packages as no gnome-shell process is started. Here's the current log (same messages as before): Jul 28 17:52:36 underdesk gnome-session[2683]: Entering running state Jul 28 17:52:38 underdesk gnome-session[2683]: (gnome-settings-daemon:2711): media-keys-plugin-WARNING **: 4: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus Jul 28 17:52:39 underdesk gnome-session[2683]: current session already has an ibus-daemon.
