Description Dave Hodgins 2015-11-24 22:19:32 CET 
Booted the first round x86_64 gnome livedvd into run level 3.
Logged in as live. Ran "echo 'exec gnome-session'>.xinitrc", then startgnome.
Terminates with segfault ...

Where does this command sequence come from?
It won't start an Xorg server.

I think the proper command to start Gnome from a VT is just:
    startx startgnome
I have used this for a few weeks because of GDM trouble, and worked fine (except for some days where there was a mismatch between gnome-shell and gnome-session).

Yep, also works fine here. I'd close this one as INVALID as the sequence in comment 0 doesn't make sense. Regularly startgnome runs /etc/gnome/gnomerc which runs gnome-session. 

If you want to start it via xinit then "echo 'exec gnome-session' > ~/.xinitrc" and running xinit would make sense (and that works). But that's not a regular testcase, is it?
