Confirmed.
Can start gnome only with lightdm and downgrading gnome-session to 3.6.2-1.

GDM and gnome-session not working after upgrade to 3.8.

I uninstalled GDM. When I tried:

$startx /usr/bin/gnome-session

I get:

Received signal:1->'Hangup'
g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on an async read (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting.

Received signal:15->'Terminated'

OK


When I tried:

$startx /usr/bin/lxsession

Everything works fine. I am using catalyst-dkms proprietary driver and works fine on LXDE.

The french guys in Gentoo have the same issue:

I'm not using Intel graphics of any kind.
I'm using gnome-flashback-session.

gnome-session 3.8.1-1 always displays "On no, something has gone wrong." no matter what login manager I choose.
The only way to log into gnome is by using gnome-session 3.6.2.

gnome-shell session works.

New libsoup is available, disable gdm.service, upgrade libsoup FIRST, then upgrade the kernel, then reboot, then upgrade the rest, then enable gdm.service. These were the steps I made to make 3.8 work, maybe they'll work out for more people.
