Description Laurent Aguerreche 2011-04-17 17:26:12 UTC
Description of problem:
After login gnome-shell crashes automatically in less than one minute: I just have to wait!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Happens since my update of today (my Fedora 15 64 bits was up-to-date before).

These packages have been updated and may be involved because of their names:
- control-center-filesystem-3.0.0.1-3.fc15.x86_64
- control-center-3.0.0.1-3.fc15.x86_64
- gnome-settings-daemon-3.0.0.1-1.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in GNOME 3 (an 'OpenGL-accelerated' session)
2. Wait...
3. In less than One minute all the GNOME session will crash

Actual results:
A crash and if you go on the 'Activities' panel, you will find it empty!

Expected results:
No crash and a non-empty 'Activities' panel.

Additional info:
To be able to start a GNOME session, I had to modify the file '/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome.session' and write into it:
IsRunnableHelper=/bin/false

Is there a gnome-settings boolean that can be modify to enable/disable the GNOME 3 fallback mode at login?

Comment 2 Laurent Aguerreche 2011-04-17 18:21:58 UTC
I updated gnome-panel, gnome-panel-libs and gnome-menus from testing and it fixed this bug. So users will hit this bug until packages from testing go into stable...

Comment 3 Elad Alfassa 2011-05-04 13:36:03 UTC
Actually, updates-testing is enabled by default on alpha and beta versions, so I'm closing this bug.
