Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.7+12 Priority: Important Since installing updates last night in some VMs, I can no longer load gnome in those VMs.
They load to a terminal login (normally would auto-load gnome), which is flashing on and off the screen rapidly, with text input to login being very difficult/impossible. This flashing stops after about a minute, leaving you at a stable/usable login prompt. After login, startx fails to load gnome. The xorg log (below) lists a segfault. Edit: Actually, while retrieving copies of the log files, I ran startx as root, which worked fine, it just doesn't load as the normal user. VMs are sid installs, fully up to date, with a handful of core gnome packages from experimental (gdm3, gnome-shell, gnome-session, mutter, gnome-setting-daemon, nautilus). Things were working fine the previous day, prior to the latest updates. The updates installed resulting in the breakage are as follows: Install: libsctp1:amd64 (1.0.16+dfsg-3, automatic) Upgrade: libpython2.7-stdlib:amd64 (2.7.10-4, 2.7.10-5), libpangomm- 1.4-1v5:amd64 (2.36.0-2+b1, 2.38.1-1), librsvg2-2:amd64 (2.40.10-1, 2.40.11-1), os-prober:amd64 (1.67, 1.68), xorg:amd64 (7.7+9, 7.7+12), xserver-xorg-input-all:amd64 (7.7+9, 7.7+12), xwayland:amd64 (1.17.2- 1.1, 1.17.2-3), libpam-systemd:amd64 (226-4, 227-2), python2.7:amd64 (2.7.10-4, 2.7.10-5), xserver-xorg-core:amd64 (1.17.2-1.1, 1.17.2-3), openjdk-7-jdk:amd64 (7u85-2.6.1-4, 7u85-2.6.1-5), udev:amd64 (226-4, 227-2), gir1.2-gcr-3:amd64 (3.16.0-1, 3.18.0-1), xserver-xorg-video- all:amd64 (7.7+9, 7.7+12), xserver-common:amd64 (1.17.2-1.1, 1.17.2-3), w3m:amd64 (0.5.3-24, 0.5.3-25), librsvg2-bin:amd64 (2.40.10-1, 2.40.11- 1), baobab:amd64 (3.18.0-1, 3.18.1-1), openjdk-7-jre-headless:amd64 (7u85-2.6.1-4, 7u85-2.6.1-5), libudev1:amd64 (226-4, 227-2), binutils:amd64 (2.25.1-5, 2.25.1-6), libmm-glib0:amd64 (1.4.10-1, 1.4.12-1), gcr:amd64 (3.16.0-1, 3.18.0-1), libpython2.7:amd64 (2.7.10- 4, 2.7.10-5), librsvg2-common:amd64 (2.40.10-1, 2.40.11-1), xserver- xephyr:amd64 (1.17.2-1.1, 1.17.2-3), libgck-1-0:amd64 (3.16.0-1, 3.18.0-1), libencode-locale-perl:amd64 (1.03-1, 1.05-1), systemd- sysv:amd64 (226-4, 227-2), libcairomm-1.0-1v5:amd64 (1.10.0-1.2, 1.12.0-1), openjdk-7-jre:amd64 (7u85-2.6.1-4, 7u85-2.6.1-5), modemmanager:amd64 (1.4.10-1, 1.4.12-1), systemd:amd64 (226-4, 227-2), libjetty8-java:amd64 (8.1.17-2, 8.1.18-1), libsigc++-2.0-0v5:amd64 (2.6.1-1, 2.6.1-2), python2.7-minimal:amd64 (2.7.10-4, 2.7.10-5), xserver-xorg:amd64 (7.7+9, 7.7+12), libgtkmm-3.0-1v5:amd64 (3.16.0- 2+b1, 3.18.0-1), libnss-myhostname:amd64 (226-4, 227-2), gir1.2-gck- 1:amd64 (3.16.0-1, 3.18.0-1), libsystemd0:amd64 (226-4, 227-2), x11- common:amd64 (7.7+9, 7.7+12), libgcr-base-3-1:amd64 (3.16.0-1, 3.18.0- 1), libpython2.7-minimal:amd64 (2.7.10-4, 2.7.10-5), libgcr-3- common:amd64 (3.16.0-1, 3.18.0-1), libgcr-ui-3-1:amd64 (3.16.0-1, 3.18.0-1) Upgrade: gir1.2-gdm3:amd64 (3.14.2-2, 3.17.92-1), gdm3:amd64 (3.14.2-2, 3.17.92-1), libgdm1:amd64 (3.14.2-2, 3.17.92-1) Edit: Just FYI, the latest updates from a few moments ago, updating mutter and gdm3 to 3.18 stable versions along with a few other updates made no difference.
