Description Wesley Moore 2018-04-06 23:54:51 UTC
I have been running GNOME3 on a desktop machine with an NVIDIA GTX 1050 GPU without issue since October last year. After recently doing a pkg upgrade I can no longer log in though.

GDM runs properly but when I log into a GNOME session I get the "Oh no something has gone wrong" message after about a minute of a grey screen. The mouse continues to work and I can click the Log Out button to return to GDM.

I think my X configuration is fine as I'm able to log into an Xfce session from gdm without issue (I'm writing this from that session).

The issue might be related to gnome-settings-daemon although this has not been updated recently.

There is at least one other person experiencing the same issue as reported on the forums:

Forget to mention I'm running FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p8 with packages installed from pkg+http://pkg0.nyi.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest


Running startx with only gnome-session in ~/.xinitrc yields this log:

Comment 2 Wesley Moore 2018-04-15 06:27:47 UTC
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[1]. Suspecting the slight delay introduced by truss I then changed gnome-settings-daemon-localeexec to include a one second sleep and that seems to have the same effect:

Code:

sleep 1
exec /usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon

[1]: My .xinitrc looks like this:

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