Hello all, I recently ran into a problem with Gnome. It fails to start at all. I am able to get a working ui by using the startx command, and it seems like it is a gnomish environment (windows key brings up the Activities selected or what have you)
Gnome used to work fine, however I installed KDE to try it, decided i dint like it, and purged it. Everything on google seems to recommend simply removing Gnome and using tasksel to reinstall Gnome from scratch, however this does not resolve my issue. some relevant outputs: -- $ sudo service gdm restart Warning: Unit file of gdm.service changed on disk, 'systemctl daemon-reload' recommended. Job for gdm.service failed. See 'systemctl status gdm.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. -- -- $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload -- -- $ sudo systemctl status gdm.service ● gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Mon 2014-12-22 19:06:18 PST; 1min 26s ago Dec 22 19:06:16 debian systemd[1]: Failed to start GNOME Display Manager.
