When you do layman --sync-all, sometimes the ebuilds are updated, but |
| 57 |
with the same version. Try to recompile every ebuild in the overlay |
| 58 |
that you have installed in your system. At least, try to recompile |
| 59 |
gdm, gnome-shell, and all of its direct dependencies, the packages in |
| 60 |
COMMON_DEPEND, RDEPEND and DEPEND) in the gnome-shell-3.2.0-r1 ebuild. |
| 61 |
Minus the use enabled where you don't set the use flag, of course. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Also: modify /etc/gdm/custom.conf and in the [debug] key set |
| 64 |
"Enable=true". And modify /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop and |
| 65 |
replace Exec=gnome-session with Exec=gnome-session --debug. Then a lot |
| 66 |
more info will be available in ~/.xsession-errors, and we will know |
| 67 |
more. |
