I believe I have been running the latest overlay. I do an eix-sync |
27 |
every morning and /etc/eix-sync.conf contains |
28 |
-C --ignore-default-opts |
29 |
-C --quiet |
30 |
gnome |
31 |
However, I will run |
32 |
layman --sync-all |
33 |

I tried that this morning; no improvement |

42 |
I do not have the extensions installed. |
43 |
|
44 |
From the gentoo bug #385525 there is a report that disabling the |
45 |
gnome-shell USE flag for gdm, permits gdm-3.2.0-r1 to run, but does not |
46 |
solve the problem with gnome-shell crashing. I can confirm this |
47 |
behavior and am now running gdm-3.2.0-r1 with gnome-shell disabled. |
48 |
|
49 |
I just now did |
50 |
layman --sync-all |
51 |
emerge --newuse --update --with-bdeps=y world |
52 |
|
53 |
Only libraw and (of course) portage were merged. |
54 |
|
55 |
emerge --depclean found nothing redundant |
56 |
|
57 |
revdep-rebuild still wants to reinstall totem-pl-parser and |
58 |
gpointing-device-settings. Both fail with bugs that (I believe) are |
59 |
unrelated. |
60 |
|
61 |
In a fit of paranoia, I did another reboot at this point. |
62 |
The results were the same: gdm does NOT crash, but gnome-shell DOES |
63 |
|
64 |
Perhaps I have bad USE flags (-gnome-shell is a new change the others |
65 |
are as they have been for quite a while)? |
