Description Juan Magallon 2015-11-27 08:59:50 CET

After latest gnome-shell update, login in gnome filed because of:

Nov 27 08:45:38 werewolf.home gnome-session[2663]: gnome-session-binary[2663]: WARNING: Unable to find required component 'gnome-shell'
Nov 27 08:45:38 werewolf.home gnome-session-binary[2663]: WARNING: Unable to find required component 'gnome-shell'

I checked that gnome-shell does not provide any gnome-shell.desktop file:

werewolf:~# rpm -ql gnome-shell | grep desktop
/usr/share/applications/evolution-calendar.desktop
/usr/share/applications/gnome-shell-extension-prefs.desktop
/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Shell.PortalHelper.desktop
/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Shell.desktop
/usr/share/gnome-shell/xdg-override/autostart/org.gnome.Shell.desktop

Copying org.gnome.Shell.desktop to gnome-shell.desktop and adding
a 'gnome-shell' to X-GNOME-Provides fixed the issue.

Or the requirements in RequiredComponents for sessions in
/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions should be changed, or the name of the
desktop file is wrong.
Or I missunderstand everything ;).

Urgh, missed this bug. Someone fixed it for me and uploaded a new version. Forgot which it was, IIRC gnome-session needed to be updated.
