Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.26.1-5
Severity: important
Tags: patch
I understand that Gnome is going through a huge migration process, and I really
love what I see from new Gnome in Debian, however there's a problem with
gnome-session 2.26.1-5
This workaround may be "clumsy", but this is how I got it all sorted and
working.
After this mornings update, everything was working fine until I actually restarted my
computer and I wanted to login into my gnome session. gdm showed up nicely, but the thing
is that it just wouldn't log in, that is it would just show my gnome desktop. There was
nothing but the blank screen, I first tried "renaming" my gnome2 dir, then I
tried creating a new user and loging in with that user, but nothing except that I managed
to see this error message at one point:
/*
There is a problem with the configuration server,
(/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 existed with status 256)
*/
Then I went through many trivial stepss, from reinstalling my whole
gnome-desktop-environment to many other "options", nothing worked.
After brief analysis I come to conclusion gnome-session 2.26.1-5 was to blame, all aptitude suggested was to remove "gnome" which is meta package AFAIK, I followed "advice" after which I was left without many gnome related packages and basically without working gnome desktop environment.
Please note that in this process, I saw a thread with similar problem on Sidux forums which suggested that one of the gstreamer plugins is to blame, I end up removing all of the gstreamer plugins which in the ends leaves me with more Gnome packages being removed. Once again, I was left with gnome-session 2.26.1-5 being installed on my system.
In the end, I simply downgrade gnome-session to 2.22.3-3 which also "brought" removed
gnome-desktop-environment package with it. My gnome desktop is working perfectly, it even gave me a
resolution to "Bluetooth applet does not start" bug

* 01_gnome-wm.patch:
+ Don’t set LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT, compiz does it by itself if
needed and it slows things down if it’s not needed.
+ Don’t enable the glib compiz plugin, only the gconf one; the glib
plugin makes it lock up on startup. Closes: #531388.
