gnome-session starts to a black screen with mouse cursor in 20191018
Last modified: 2021-04-15 14:43:34 UTC
After I upgraded to Tumbleweed 20191018, my gnome would load to a black screen with a moving mouse cursor. This is an nvidia optimus laptop using modesetting. I tried deleting all the configs in my $HOME, including .local, .config and .cache but the problem persisted. I tried changing the invocation of gnome-session in my .xinitrc to gnome-session -f to start a failsafe session, but it still went to a black screen. XFCE works fine when I run xfce4-session instead of gnome-session from my .xinitrc. Here is the journalctl output: rkitover@doobie journalctl SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=gnome-session-binary -- Logs begin at Wed 2019-10-23 20:57:38 UTC, end at Wed 2019-10-23 21:11:31 UTC. -- Oct 23 20:57:50 doobie gnome-session-binary[3122]: WARNING: App 'org.gnome.Shell.desktop' exited with code 1 Oct 23 20:57:50 doobie gnome-session-binary[3122]: WARNING: App 'org.gnome.Shell.desktop' exited with code 1 Oct 23 20:57:50 doobie gnome-session-binary[3122]: WARNING: App 'org.gnome.Shell.desktop' respawning too quickly Oct 23 20:57:50 doobie gnome-session-binary[3122]: Unrecoverable failure in required component org.gnome.Shell.desktop Oct 23 20:57:51 doobie gnome-session-binary[3122]: Entering running state
Remove all gnome-shell extensions: rm -r ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/*
I deleted all of .config, .local, .cache and .dbus completely. But the behavior is the same.
I installed the tw snapshot 20191023 and my gnome works now. This can be closed, thank you very much.
