Description: When attempting to start gdm after updating to
the below version, it fails to start and leaves you at the
console. I've read that gdm-3.16 uses xwayland by default,
gnome with wayland worked fine with version 3.14. My setup
is intel/nvidia with bumblebee (which I disabled to no
avail).
Additional info: * package version(s) 3.16.0.1-1-x86_64 * config and/or log files etc. Mar 26 17:02:22 tardis gdm[764]: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.238155 seconds Mar 26 17:02:22 tardis gdm[764]: Child process 799 was already dead. Mar 26 17:02:22 tardis gdm[764]: Unable to kill session worker process Mar 26 17:02:22 tardis gdm[764]: Child process 799 was already dead. Mar 26 17:02:22 tardis gdm[764]: Unable to kill session worker process Steps to reproduce: Enable testing repository, pacman -Syu, reboot or systemctl restart gdm |
This task depends upon
gnome-shell: error while loading shared libraries: libgirepository-1.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
For me manually reinstalling pacman -S gobject-introspection-runtime solved the problem.
The attached log file I created by starting gdm manually in debug mode.
Somehow when files move from one package to another files will get lost. I don't know if this is a bug in pacman or the way people use it. Personally I never hit this problem myself, but if you use pacman -Sf to install gobject-introspection-runtime and then later upgrade gobject-introspection you'll run into missing files.

I might be a xorg conf problem, but i have no clue unfortunently. im using a nvidia proprietary driver
