I ran into the same issue and poked at it a bit. gnome-shell is crashing in cogl/clutter:
> $ gnome-shell --replace
>
> GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strsplit: assertion `string != NULL' failed
>
> Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter: The OpenGL version could not be determined
It seems to be caused by the latest cogl build that enabled the wayland backend for F19. The previous gnome-shell build that does not crash for me is built against the X11-only cogl; the crashing version is built against the wayland-enabled cogl.
The fix is in two packages: cogl-1.14.0-3.fc19 -- disables the wayland backend (it was never meant for F19, got accidentally enabled in the -2 build) gnome-shell-3.8.3-2.fc19 -- rebuilt against the fixed cogl gnome-shell-3.8.3-2.fc19,cogl-1.14.0-3.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gnome-shell-3.8.3-2.fc19,cogl-1.14.0-3.fc19 Proposed as a Blocker for 19-final by Fedora user kalev using the blocker tracking app because: This update fixes a crasher at gnome-shell startup that could possibly affect a number of people. Discussed at 2013-06-12 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-06-12/f19final-blocker-review-5.2013-06-12-16.01.log.txt . Accepted as a blocker per Alpha criterion "After firstboot is completed and on subsequent boots, a graphical install must boot to a log in screen where it is possible to log in to a working desktop as the user created during firstboot.": https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_19_Alpha_Release_Criteria#Expected_installed_system_boot_behavior . gnome-shell-3.8.3-2.fc19, cogl-1.14.0-3.fc19 has been pushed to the Fedora 19 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Confirmed working here. |
