I'm having a rather serious issue getting logged onto my system using gnome. GDM starts, I put in user name and password and the login starts but I never get a desktop loaded and usable.
What happens exactly?
Tried a new local account on the system and was able to login with no problems. I'm thinking there's some bit of kruft hanging around in a dot file somewhere that is causing issues. But finding it is not gonna be easy.
As has been posted, I'd try with a new user account.
To test I moved my home directory off to a safe location, created an empty home directory in it's place and tried again. I still get the black screen, mouse cursor and nothing else. I've looked at "journalctl -b" and there's plenty in there, kind of hard to track down exactly what is relevant and what isn't.
You can filter the output:
journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-session -b
or keep 'journalctl --full -f' running then log in, (-f makes it keep printing new logs in the terminal).
KDE works fine, gnome-shell for root works fine. It seems to be something about my account, or something in my home directory causing this, but I can't find what is causing this. Errors and/or warnings aren't jumping out at me in any of the logs. I'd like to find a way to get GDM and/or Gnome to log what they are doing to a specific file separate from any other logs. Maybe I can find something to at least get started with troubleshooting.
