Description Marcus Moeller 2011-11-09 14:32:22 UTC 
gnome-shell does not start on a system with an i915 graphics card.

Comment 1 Adam Jackson 2011-11-09 15:58:07 UTC 
Which hardware exactly?  lspci -nn -s 0:2.

What's the output of glxinfo?  Is there anything suspicious in the X log?
Comment 2 Marcus Moeller 2011-11-10 14:18:26 UTC 
I figured out that the problem was caused by either missing:

account     sufficient    pam_localuser.so

or

-session     optional      pam_systemd.so

in system-auth-ac. Adding these new parameters made gnome-shell work again.
