Hi, FWIW I've seen this same error reproduced on ATI Radeon R200 hardware in an old IBM Thinkpad: | gnome-session[7213]: (gnome-shell:7314): Cogl-ERROR **: Failed to create texture 2d due to size/format constraints | gnome-session[7213]: x-session-manager[7213]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal 5 gdm3 seemed to work, but the 'cog wheel' icon to choose a session type, was not rendered. (Probably it tries to use a non-power-of-two texture, which this hardware does not support?) Trying to start GNOME or GNOME Classic, the above error is fatal, and causes a "fail-whale" with only an option to log out. Probably GNOME is not suitable for that hardware, then. It was a really unfortunate experience for the (first-time) user, though. Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain steven@pyro.eu.org
