Description:
After upgrading to gnome-shell in testing (3.6.1-1) gnome-shell refuses to run unless gdm is installed: pacman -Qi gdm error: package 'gdm' was not found Ideally you could run gnome-shell without having gdm installed, but adding gdm as a dependency would at least solve this for now. If you try to run gnome-shell from a different login manager (such as lightdm), you get a message "Oh no! Something went wrong". Here's a portion of the output from running gnome-shell: JS ERROR: !!! Exception was: Error: Requiring Gdm, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'Gdm' (any version) not found JS ERROR: !!! message = '"Requiring Gdm, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'Gdm' (any version) not found"' JS ERROR: !!! fileName = '"/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/userMenu.js"' JS ERROR: !!! lineNumber = '4' JS ERROR: !!! stack = '"@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/userMenu.js:4 "' JS ERROR: !!! Exception was: Error: Requiring Gdm, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'Gdm' (any version) not found JS ERROR: !!! message = '"Requiring Gdm, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'Gdm' (any version) not found"' JS ERROR: !!! fileName = '"/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/userMenu.js"' JS ERROR: !!! lineNumber = '4' JS ERROR: !!! stack = '"@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/userMenu.js:4 "' Window manager warning: Log level 32: Execution of main.js threw exception: Error: Requiring Gdm, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'Gdm' (any version) not found Additional info: gnome-shell 3.6.1-1 Steps to reproduce: Install gnome-shell. Don't have gdm installed (or intentionally uninstall it). |
