boot journal after GNOME installation
After trying a CSM install with Mate and GNOME it became apparent that the presence of gdm or gnome-shell would fix this problem. Installation of gdm from Mate pulled in gnome-shell and thereafter all was well. This was noted by benmc as well. Installing task-gnome-minimal after the fact also solved the problem. Have yet to check GNOME Classic. Real EFI hardware, 5.1 Classic x64 ISO dated 20-21/11/2016. All-desktop installation. I second Len's finding, using the default KDM. Selecting GNOME at login -> an error screen: "Oh no; something has gone wrong". He resolved it by installing 'task-gnome-minimal'; myself by installing 'gnome-shell'. Something is missing from the ISO. Note also that GnomeClassic is no longer in the KDM desktop menu (at least with gnome-shell rather than task-gnome-minimal); will try other display managers. CC:

lewyssmith Apropos of comment 3, with the GNOME, gnome-shell, Mate combination GNOME Classic is not offered at login on the CSM machine. Referring to Lewis' comment 3: But it is with task-gnome-minimal on the UEFI machine. I am not suggesting it has anything to do with CSM or UEFI; that was just the way it was tested. Please also look at the list of orphans posted on the pad by Ben. For pity's sake! Please read Lewis for Ben - the colours are so confusing. Sorry folks.

No, it is not offered by any of them with just 'gnome-shell' added. (In reply to Len Lawrence from comment #5) > Referring to Lewis' comment 3: > But it is with task-gnome-minimal on the UEFI machine. I am not suggesting > it has anything to do with CSM or UEFI; that was just the way it was tested. It look as if 'task-gnome-minimal', but not 'gnome-shell', provides GnomeClassic. Are you able to confirm this, Len? I imagine it is not DM dependant. In reply to Lewis Smith - comment #8 Shall try to confirm that sometime in the next 24 hours - domestic crisis here - flooded kitchen and whatnot. Installed the iso with nearly all the desktops. kdm included GNOME in its list but now I cannot remember if Classic was there. !! The something went wrong message came up for GNOME. Installed task-gnome-minimal and both flavours of GNOME became available. Need to go through it again. On the QA mailing list Martin said:

release_blocker Added in list for the next (last?) build Yes, installing on a fast machine confirmed that GNOME-Classic is not provided until task-gnome-minimal is installed.
