 Posted: Mon Apr 11, 2011 8:28 pm Post subject: gnome3 shell is crashing |
 |
|
finally I have gnome3 installed from overlay
I was using last gnome2 with compiz without problems before
this was my kernel config for graphics ...
| Code: | CONFIG_DRM=y
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
CONFIG_DRM_TTM=y
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL=y
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=y
CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT=y
CONFIG_FB_CFB_COPYAREA=y
CONFIG_FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT=y
CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS=y
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_LCD_CLASS_DEVICE=m
CONFIG_LCD_PLATFORM=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=y
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_GENERIC=m |
First error message using gnome3 was about that it is in fallback status and it will not work properly.
trying to run shell from console
| Code: | | gnome-shell --replace |
but after this command X did restart and I had to login on gdm screen again
my laptop has radeon graphic card
| Code: | | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series |
so I did try use older kernel driver
here is config
| Code: | CONFIG_DRM=y
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
CONFIG_DRM_TTM=y
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL=y
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=y
CONFIG_FB_DDC=m
CONFIG_FB_BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT=y
CONFIG_FB_CFB_COPYAREA=y
CONFIG_FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT=y
CONFIG_FB_BACKLIGHT=y
CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS=y
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
CONFIG_FB_RADEON=m
CONFIG_FB_RADEON_I2C=y
CONFIG_FB_RADEON_BACKLIGHT=y
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_LCD_CLASS_DEVICE=m
CONFIG_LCD_PLATFORM=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=y
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_GENERIC=m |
then I did reboot and remerge xf86-video-ati ...
after this I can start gnome shell from console and it works
BUT
it is crashing time to time
please, have anybody any tip / help how to find out / debug what is wrong?
thanks |

Well, if you want to debug, you can use your rootly powers to run "tail -f /proc/<pid of gnome-shell>/fd/2" to look at the stderr of gnome-shell. As far as I know, this only works with root privileges.
My advice is to follow the graphic driver setup I laid out at the bottom of this post: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-872959.html
If the radeon drivers aren't set up right, Gnome 3 won't work right. |

thanks for links and howto ...
so I went back to KMS driver, rebuild drivers and recheck configuration of xorg
I am not sure USE flag gallium for mesa package.
at this moment I am not using gallium flag. what do you think? should I use it? |

gnome-shell crashing too for me, when I do : gnome-shell --replace
I have this in stderr :
| Code: | Avertissement du gestionnaire de fenêtres : Log level 8: gtk_style_context_get: assertion `priv->widget_path != NULL' failed
gnome-shell: cairo-pattern.c :764 : cairo_pattern_reference: L'assertion « ((*&(&pattern->ref_count)->ref_count) > 0) » a échoué. |
I have a 9600gt nvidia card. |
