Intel integrated graphics is probably the most widely used PC graphics on this planet. The problem is apparently that shaders are called without being present, which applies to many most recent hardware platforms as well. Calling it High is more than accurate.
Instead of trying to discuss the problem away it'd be much better to give instructions on how to find a way to actually solve the problem. To get an idea about what's going on I dedicated a full day on finding a starting point, but failed. Re-building gnome-shell from sources is a snap, but startup procedures are obfuscated enough to not allow a mere user to change or intercept it somehow. Instructions (or documentation pointers) on how to start up a Wayland session manually, without GDM, would be very helpful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1727356 Title: Wayland does not start up on "Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) G33": Shader compilation failed Status in GNOME Shell: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 17.10 Release: 17.10 Upgraded from 17.04 today. Steps to reproduce: - Start the PC or log out/end session in case it's running with an Xorg desktop already. - Attempt to log in, using 'Ubuntu' Expected to happen: Desktop appears. Actually happening: 5 seconds of black screen, then the login screen appears again. Partial diagnosis: - Logging in using 'Ubuntu on Xorg' works fine and as expected. - Extracted a syslog of such a failed attempt, see attached file. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DisplayManager: gdm3 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-05-04 (539 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) Package: gnome-shell 3.26.1-0ubuntu5 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-16.19-generic 4.13.4 Tags: artful package-from-proposed third-party-packages Uname: Linux 4.13.0-16-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to artful on 2017-10-25 (0 days ago) UserGroups: adm cdrom dialout dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo www-data _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1727356/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
