Description:
I'm using GNOME 3.4 from testing. GDM is crashing after update my system. Splashing gray screen "Oh no i can't recover contact your administrator" console says. If I try to use another Displayer Manager (Slim, for example) gnome-shell will crash. So, I can't login on my system.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
gnome-shell 3.4.0

* config and/or log files etc.
Running dmesg | tail -2 I got:
[ 34.999837] gnome-shell[805]: segfault at 50 ip 00007fdde3bdad65 sp 00007fffa97e6068 error 4 in libcogl.so.9.1.0[7fdde3b8c000+86000]

Steps to reproduce:
* Update you system.
* Use GDM, GNOME 3.4 and turn on your computer.

what card do you have and what video driver do you use?
Comment by Elder Marco (eldermarco) - Friday, 13 April 2012, 12:28 GMT
Hello,

My video card:

$ lspci | grep VGA
00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C73 [GeForce 7050 / nForce 610i] (rev a2)

I'm using Nvidia proprietary driver.

I had the same problem after updating the nvidia driver.
Install the previous version and returned to work.

Yes, it works!
I installed the previous version (nvidia-295.33-2 and nvidia-utils-295.33) and returned to work.

Thanks A. Cid :)
