Public Service Announcement re 'Oh no! Something has gone wrong' screen in GNOME 3

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey, all. If you're running F15 with updates and after a recent update
you find that you keep getting the Shell's 'Oh no! Something has gone
wrong' screen (informally known as the fail whale), check if you have
the packages gnome-shell-3.0.0.2-2.fc15 and gnome-menus-3.0.0-1.fc15
installed. This combination is bad and results in the above behaviour.
To fix it, update to gnome-menus-3.0.0-2.fc15 (it's in updates-testing,
or you can grab it from Koji).

Somehow, even though gnome-shell-3.0.0.2-2.fc15 and
gnome-menus-3.0.0-2.fc15 are part of the same update, gnome-shell got
into the F15 'stable' repo ahead of gnome-menus, so if you have the
updates-testing repo disabled you may have run into this. The releng
team is working to fix the bug that caused this to happen so it won't
hit future updates. They've now tagged the gnome-menus package into
stable, so once repos sync up, it won't be possible (or at least likely)
to hit this any more.
