DetailsDescription: I recently upgraded and now GDM and gnome-shell are not working.
When I do: rc.d start gdm I get this output: ** (gdm-binary:1523): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager ** (gdm-binary:1523): WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out I think gdm does start on boot however. It doesn't look like the normal gdm that I am used to (I know this is a poor description but I don't know of a better way to describe it). When I log in I get my background but none of the gnome-shell UI. I realize you might need more information but I'm not sure what information you need, just tell me and I'll gladly get it for you. Additional info: * package version(s) gnome-shell: 3.4.1-1 gdm: 3.4.1-2 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: |
This task depends upon
pacman -R gnome-shell
pacman -R gdm
pacman -S gnome-shell
pacman -S gdm
But same issue.
you either did a partial upgrade or used pacman -Syuf
solution: reinstall gcr
Reinstalling gcr did the trick. Thank you!
