So steved and I looked at this a bit today. For some reason that we can't immediately figure out his locale is getting set to en_US instead of en_US.UTF-8. This causes GnomeWallClock to return NULL instead of the current time, and that makes gnome-shell throw an exception. we should handle that better and we should also figure out how his locale is getting set incorrectly. the locale is right in gdm's session worker and wrong in gnome-session. putting the correct locale in ~/.bash_profile fixes things, so it must be something in the xinit scripts though it wasn't apparently anything in /etc/X11/xinitrc.d
I just ran into this. I have Gnome set to save my session, but it isn't really working. So I setup my session, then used "gnome-session-quit --logout" to make sure it would save my session. From the login screen I tried to reboot the laptop, but due to an unrelated kernel issue, I ended up having to hard power off the laptop. When it came back up and I tried to login, I just get that screen. On a related note, where are the session logs now? I can't find them anywhere and so I have no idea where to look for what's happening. Fortunately, I managed to find this bug.
However, my LANG environment variable seems to be fine, so it's probably not the same issue.
From another bug, I discovered about setting debug on gdm. Is that really the only way to get session logs now? Anyway, you can ignore my other comments. It seems that because of the hard power off, my saved session desktop file got corrupted (filled with 0 bytes). That's why it can't start gnome-shell.
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
