Pretty quickly, I would say, which is definitely a plus. :-) After installing a corresponding gnome-session-debuginfo I do not see very much with gdb from a generated core: Core was generated by `/usr/libexec/gnome-session-check-accelerated-helper'. Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. .... (gdb) bt #0 0x00007f423f4fb349 in ?? () #1 0x0000000000000000 in ?? () True, gdb suggests a long list of other "debuginfo" packages but I have some doubts if this would help that much. Running 'LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 gnome-shell --replace', as proposed by drago01, indeed starts an intended mode gnome session, both before and after installing these scratch packages, but results are spectacularly useless. 'gnome-shells' eats whatever CPU it can get so one can look at results but no hope of doing anything useful. OTOH sawfish-1.8.91-3.fc17 over a "Gnome classic" session works just great. :-) Michal -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
