I've spent many frustrating days fighting the "oh no" syndrome and I |
20 |
found two very annoying workarounds before I gave up on gnome3. |
21 |
|
22 |
First, the file ~/.gnomerc-errors may give you some good hints. Many |
23 |
of my "oh no" moments were caused by broken xorg 3D rendering support, |
24 |
i.e. broken video drivers, etc, etc. |
25 |
|
26 |
Second, many other "oh no" moments were caused by $SOME_MYSTERIOUS |
27 |
item in ~/.config or ~/.local suddenly rendered erroneous by a gnome3 |
28 |
update. |
29 |
|
30 |
I found some of those problem items by renaming those two directories |
31 |
and starting with a completely blank gnome3 slate. |
32 |

If gnome-shell starts okay with the new tabla rasa then you can copy |
34 |
the old .local and .config subdirectories one by one into the new gnome |
35 |
environment until you can reproduce the original breakage. Repeat as |
36 |
needed. |
