Description Dave Hodgins 2012-10-04 02:54:46 CEST

Trying to boot the Mageia-3-GNOME-LiveCD, gnome fails to start, displaying
the Oops, something has gone wrong message.

The only message I could find was in syslog ...
Oct  4 08:30:20 localhost gnome-session[2097]: WARNING: App 'gnome-shell.desktop' respawning too quickly

There is no .xsession-errors file in /home/live or any errors in
Xorg.0.log.

Comment 1 Dave Hodgins 2012-10-04 04:13:01 CEST

The message is actually Oh no..., rather then oops.

This bug is affecting all of the gnome live isos.

I need a bit more detail:
* Does if fail to start GDM?
* Is GDM in full featured mode or fallback mode?
* What is in /var/log/gdm? Please sort by last changed, it has loads of files.
* What is in ~/.cache/gdm/session.log ?

It's a packaging bug.

gnome-shell expects/needs lib(64)mutter-gir3.0 to be installed, but does not require it.

Working in the latest live cd iso images.
