gnome 3.18 bug?
Dear Debian users,
a couple of days ago Gnome 3.18 has been released in unstable.
Unfortunately I am unable to update my machine to the new version.
After the failure I downgrade the packages to the testing version and
update them one by one to figure out which package doesn't work.
The first failure is in gdm3 3.18.0-2
Only a flickering screen at the point gdm would start.
In the gdm3.18 file [1] you will find the journalctl log
around line 2022 I can see an error:
gnome-session[1397]: (gnome-shell:1505): Gdk-WARNING **: gnome-shell:
Fatal IO error 11 (Hulpbron is tijdelijk onbeschikbaar) on X server :0.
okt 14 14:15:16 Jessica polkitd(authority=local)[646]: Unregistered
Authentication Agent for unix-session:1 (system bus name :1.62, object
path /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale nl_NL.utf8)
(disconnected from bus)
short after the X server is terminated and restarted over and over again
So back to version 3.16 from testing. And tried to update gnome-session,
gnome-shell, mutter and nautilus to 3.18. Still no luck. This time gdm
does show up, but after logging in the screen remains black/ gray.
(gnome-session file [2]) Line 4049:
gnome-session[6443]: X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid

gnome-session[6443]: Current serial number in output stream: 197
gnome-session[6443]: WARNING: App 'gnome-shell.desktop' exited with code 1
Can someone give me any tips/ hints?
Thanks,
