Oh no! Something has gone wrong (GNOME3)

D

Dan Barowy

I installed GNOME3 last week (from ports) and used it successfully all week. Worked great.

Unfortunately, I went away for the weekend and turned off my desktop. I must have changed something the last time I used my machine because now, after I enter my login in GDM, I get a white screen that says "Oh no! Something has gone wrong." with a button that says "Log Out".

Now here's the puzzling part: gnome-shell appears to be running just fine. If I press the Windows key on my keyboard, I get the GNOME3 dock and workspace manager. I can start apps, etc. I just have to move them to my second display, because the primary display is covered by this "Oh no!" screen. I am, in fact, using Firefox on the machine right now.

Anyway, I can't think of anything that I might have changed.

Here are some puzzling entries in /var/log/messages:

Oh, lastly, here's my .xinitrc. I do not have an .xsession.

Code: 
exec /usr/local/bin/gnome-session

Any ideas?
 
OK, I've narrowed the causes. After finding this very useful post about the very issue I'm having, the issue is definitely with gnome-settings-daemon. By changing the /usr/local/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome.session file so that

Code: 
[GNOME Session]
Name=GNOME
RequiredComponents=gnome-shell;gnome-settings-daemon;

is now

Code: 
[GNOME Session]
Name=GNOME
RequiredComponents=gnome-shell;

I no longer get the "Oh no!" message. However, whatever issue is popping up with gnome-settings-daemon still occurs. In fact, it takes well over a minute to login once I enter my credentials into the GDM login screen.

I am going to see if I can somehow reset my GNOME settings. Suggestions appreciated.
 
I'm experiencing the same issue. GNOME ran fine since about September later year but a recent update seems to have broken it.

Did resetting your settings make any difference?

Edit: I have worked around the issue for the moment by installing Xfce
 
I had a problem a few weeks ago and I rebuilt GNOME3 and gnome-shell. It works but I do not use GDM (just startx) and in .xinitrc I have
Code: 
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/local/bin/gnome-session >.xsession-e
rrors 2>&1
 
I am running into the same issue - I build my own ports tree with poudriere, and use the nvidia-driver.

If I delete some of the ~/. files, like .cache, .login, it will work fine the next login.

When I see a failure I see a messages in ~/.cache/gdm/session.log like

(gnome-settings-daemon:44241): media-keys-plugin-WARNING **: Unable to inhibit keypresses: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.login1 was not provided by any .service files

** (gnome-settings-daemon:44241): WARNING **: Unable to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files

...

gnome-session-binary[1171]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-settings-daemon.desktop' failed to register before timeout

I set up a virtualbox using the same packages, and it works fine.
 
It's not a bug, it's a local configuration issue.

Code: 
Current Operating System: FreeBSD computer 11.0-RELEASE-p8 FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p8 #0: Wed Feb 22 06:12:04 UTC 2017     root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
Upgrade your system, FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE has been End-of-Life since November 2017.

Remove these two from /etc/rc.conf for the time being:
Code: 
gdm_enable="YES"
gnome_enable="YES"

That will allow you to test more easily. Before running startx verify if DBus started correctly.
 
Removing gnome-settings-daemon from session file as mentioned earlier in this thread works for me to make gnome-shell work. This only affects one system I have that uses an nvidia graphics card. I have tried 11.1-RELEASE. The scfb driver works fine with this same hardware. It crashes if nvidia-driver is used unless I stop gnome-settings-daemon from loading.
 
So, if I 'rm -rf ~/.cache ~/.config' from the console or ssh, I can log into a Gnome session -once- from gdm.

I've had this happen a few times over the years, where the nvidia driver seems to be causing problems with Gnome.
Big time sink, I have even removed all of the installed software and reinstalled it, and it doesn't fix the base issue.
Then there's a new release, and bam! it starts working.

I had just upgraded to a i7-8700 and GTX 1050ti and now I can't use this machine as my daily driver w/FreeBSD.
I certainly willing to help debug if needed. Mostly I chimed in so people know that they are not the only one
having this issue.

I've been building FreeBSD from source since the mid 90's, hopefully that doesn't make me a clueless newbie!

This is the approach I ended up taking. I ended taking the nuclear option and uninstalled all packages. I then reinstalled gnome3-lite, gdm, gnome-terminal, xorg-minimal, nvidia-driver and it's working again... Still not sure what the root cause was att this point. Just happy to have a working HiDPI friendly desktop back again.
 
Argh so having it working was short lived. I rebooted and the old behavior returned. With this .xinitrc it seems to work reliably:

exec gnome-session --failsafe --debug > .xsession-errors 2>&1

If I remove the failsafe argument it hangs. The documentation for --failsafe says:

Run in fail-safe mode. User-specified applications will not be started.
Click to expand...

The debug logs for a failed session vs. a hung one can be seen in this gist. The non-failsafe one runs a bunch more stuff although both sessions run gnome-settings-daemon, despite it seeming to be the cause of the hung session.
 
Further investigation shows that it appears to be some sort of race condition. I edited /usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon-localeexec and changed the exec line to use truss in order to try to trace where it was getting stuck.

truss -o /home/wmoore/Documents/gnome-settings-daemon-truss.out exec /usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon

However after that change the hang stopped, even with --failsafe removed from .xinitrc. Suspecting the slight delay introduced by truss I then changed gnome-settings-daemon-localeexec to the following and that seems to have the same effect:

Code: 
sleep 1
exec /usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon
 
Hello
I am trying to get Gnome3 running on my Dell Precision T3600. I get the same error message.
I am using xterm/ I have had no luck. Gnome 3 ran once, and I have not been able to get it running since. I have xterm running now.
Gnome 3 runs well on my other Dell T3600 I have Ubuntu 17.10 running. I wont post what I think of 17.10. The gdm/session log has some errors listed
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you

Try adding a sleep to /usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon-localeexec as described in the post above.
 
The problem is already solved? I had a similar trouble using Gnome with no-root. Perhaps it could be the cause of your fails.

That's was exactly what I was thinking when I saw that line.
I use 11.1 and have no troubles.
But before I downloaded and burned it on a DVD, I was fighting to trying to install and use 10.3.

I think the same that SirDice. You should download and install the latest version of this system. If not, and if you know how to make a full upgrade of the system, then you could download the sources (and the kernel, etc) to compile your own kernel. With this last it's too much complex if you don't have the knowing nor experience about it.
Besides, I will add something: when I launch Gnome, I run the first 5 principal services by my own. Maybe I will make a post explaining it.
Edit: forget it. I can't explain it right here.

Hello.
Thanks anyway. I am going to get rid of Freebsd.
Thank you anyway. On the idential Dell T3600 6 core cpu and same video card. Gmone runs excellent under Ubuntu 17.10
I will try FreeBSD again in a few years.

good luck

Good bye. I don't know if it'll be the right thing for you. We don't need you. But if you already gave up instead of fight to use it, it speaks a lot about you. Perhaps you are a smart person and you'll study this (in that case, well, there are at least 7-10 years of study). Or simply you gave up because it is too much for you and you want some easy-use (but that doesn't mean that it will be a good OS). In the second case, I can understand you. I've fight one time and again with this OS.
But you know what's the difference between you and me? I never gave up. I will be still here, but you not. Think about it.
But if you say that maybe in a few years you'll try to use it, well, there's no guarantee about that.
 
No there is no guarantee about anything. Ubuntu may not be perfect, at least Gnome works excellent. I cna't say that about Freebsd (how old is FreeBSD ? 30 years? hmmm

take care.
