Re: Gnome shell won't open.

I'm using nvidia's binary blob instead of the drivers in apt, and for some reason they had to be reinstalled. Everything started working after that, but there seems to be some conflict between the binary blob and some apt-get updates. Usually though when there is no direct rendering I just get gnome-classic, so there could be a bug of it not detecting the situation.

I get the following output from gnome-session...

X does not exit abruptly, I get no warnings, just the applications in my session load but I never get a shell. I assume gnome-shell is the window manager these days. I noticed tomboy compaining about an error so I moved ~/.config/tomboy to ~/oldtomboy and tried again but the error still appears in the log.

I really don't know why this would happen, perhaps some kind of disk corruption. I killed gdm3 to upgrade my nvidia driver just before it happened without logging out but I had closed most applications. Help would be greatly appreciated.
