N.B.: Next time, please attach logs instead of pasting, else they got rewrapped and are barely readable.

Also this test was done with RC and not with final pre-release ISO but gnome-shell hasn't changed since...

Olav, the actual issue is:
Gjs-WARNING **: JS ERROR: Error: Requiring Shell, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'Meta', version '3.0' not found

I don't know why this requires wasn't automatically computed.

Comment 2 Thierry Vignaud 2015-05-28 10:35:09 CEST

Humm, this is strange as:
- 'typelib(Meta) = 3.0' is required by gnome-shell
- 'typelib(Meta) = 3.0' is provided by lib64mutter-gir3.0

I just checked on a minimal installed system, running "urpmi --no-recommends gnome-shell" do pull either lib64mutter-gir3.0 or lib64mutter-wayland-gir3.0 that both provides typelib(Meta).

@Fabrice: What's the output of the following command?
rpm -qa '*mutter*'|sort

Comment 3 Thierry Vignaud 2015-05-28 10:42:39 CEST

I _can_ reproduce this bug if I choose the non default lib64mutter-wayland-gir3.0!

Comment 4 Thierry Vignaud 2015-05-28 10:45:55 CEST

@Fabrice: how did you install GNOME?
Choosing it in classic installer?
Installing Live GNOME DVD?
Manually installing task-gnome-minimal?

@Olav,TMB: For the record, other distro (eg: FC) won't have this issue as they didn't split the libraries like we did.
I think gnome-shell should be altered to manually requires both lib64mutter-gir3.0 && lib64mutter-wayland-gir3.0 else either X11 or Wayland case will randomly fail.

Priority: Normal => release_blocker

Comment 5 Fabrice Boyrie 2015-05-28 11:18:10 CEST

rpm -qa '*mutter*'|sort

lib64mutter-private0-3.14.3-5.mga5
lib64mutter-wayland-gir3.0-3.12.1-5.mga5
lib64mutter-wayland-private0-3.12.1-5.mga5
mutter-3.14.3-5.mga5


I've used classic installer and choose to have kde and gnome installed.

Comment 6 Thierry Vignaud 2015-05-28 11:20:45 CEST

So we automatically pick the wrong one... :-(
Can you attach your /root/drakx/report.bug.xz file?
(that's the installer logs)
Thanks
