Title:
After dist-upgrade to 13.10, gnome-session starts with just a black
screen w/ mouse cursor
Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Normally, I would expect to be launched into the (classic) gnome
desktop. I can temporarily work around the issue by using
xfce4-session instead.
Starting "gnome-session --session=gnome-classic" from terminal (under xfce4)
I get the following message:
$ gnome-session --session=gnome-classic
gnome-session-is-accelerated: No composite extension.
gnome-session-check-accelerated: Helper exited with code 256
gnome-session-is-accelerated: No composite extension.
gnome-session-check-accelerated: Helper exited with code 256
** (process:6197): WARNING **: software acceleration check failed:
Child process exited with code 1
** (gnome-session:6197): CRITICAL **: We failed, but the fail whale is
dead. Sorry....
Perhaps relatedly, since upgrade to 13.10 some gnome apps have started having
errors, too.
$ evince

Some system information:
Description: Ubuntu 13.10
Release: 13.10
uname: Linux to127 3.11.0-13-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 23 07:38:26 UTC
2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The system is running under VMWare and is connected to via NX/SSH (which
should not have any effect, I think).
All software packages should be at their latest versions. gnome session
version is 3.9.90-0ubuntu3.
The information I have provided is probably very vague. Is there
anything else I could do to clarify things?
