Hi,

What you logs tells is:

Wayland native applications exiting with broken pipe, means the Wayland compositor (gnome-shell is dead)

gnome-session tells us that gnome-shell is gone

Interesting, that could be the problem! gnome-shell is both a Wayland compositor (thus the display server) and an X11 window manager.

 

Jan 31 01:14:08 school org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1785]: Fatal server error:

Then Xwayland exits with “broken pipe”, like the other Wayland clients, because the Wayland compositor is, well ,dead.

gnome-session says something goes really wrong...

 ESCOC

And now, the X11 clients (hence depending on the X server, thus Xwayland) all quit as well, because the X server (Xwayland) is dead, because the Wayland compositor is dead...

 

This doesn't tell me anything, but I'll bet some of you systems guys can see through it to see the root cause, or at least a good trail to follow.

I think we should keep those discussions, including these important bits, in the issue you filed upstream (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/9) and not in a downstream mailing list :)

Cheers,

Olivier

Do you want me to repost at that address?
