[SOLVED] GDM/Gnome won't start after update

Today after I run pacman -Suy, GDM/Gnome won't start anymore after reboot. The error message I get after GDM starts is:
Oh no! Something has gone wrong.
A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please contact a system administrator
Does anyone have any idea what happened and how can I recover the system?
Here is the complete log for the update:
http://bpaste.net/show/209520/
Here is the journalctl -u gdm log:
http://sprunge.us/LEOU
Here is tail -2000 /var/log/messages.log:
http://sprunge.us/ObWY
And here is the /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
http://bpaste.net/show/209549/
I can't imagine any other log file that might help figure out what happened, let me know if there's anything else.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: I stopped gdm, created a ~/.xinitrc and could successfully start Gnome with startx. The problem remains with GDM.
Edit: The last update solved my problem: http://sprunge.us/RKWA

I'm not sure my issue is really the same one, but am hoping for some guidance here if possible. Trying to start GDM gives me the same error message/screen. After tdm fails I can switch to a console,
sudo systemctl stop gdm.service
then
sudo systemctl start lightdm.service
and lightdm starts fine. However, trying to log in to gnome-session gives me the very same error as I had with GDM. I can log into XFCE just fine. Attempting to start gnome-ession via startx also gives me the error screen. Does anyone know how I can diagnose the problem? Thanks,
Matt

Gnome won't start after update

Hey, so after I've updated gnome to 3.14 it refuses to start. The moment I get past the login screen (that works - I use lightdm), gnome will just tell me that "something has gone wrong" and it won't launch the session. For the past two hours or so I've been trying to identify the issue with no good results. What I think might be relevant is that I use the catalyst driver and also this part of journalctl -e /usr/bin/gnome-shell:

Same problem here, and I think that it's all Catalyst fault.
Many people are reporting GNOME 3.14 / Catalyst compatibility issue in AMD Bar & Grill thread (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57084&p=272) and I totally agree with Vi0l0 (unofficial Catalyst packages maintainer):
Vi0l0 wrote:As for the GNOME 3.14 - wish I have more time to look at this closer, I catched problems with GNOME latelly (but before 3.14) - it started to crash before start - I spent not much time on it, but didn't find solution. Fixing it is not that important for me right now, since im planning to install arch on btrfs 2xSSD smile. Its just the time... Wish I had some kind of clone of myself with shared awareness tongue.
But anyhow I think that GNOME 3.14 support could be real problem atm (at least with unmodified gnome packages), afaik 3.14 is really close to wayland and catalyst doesn't even have egl.
EDIT: if confirmed seems to be a display manager issue:
Vi0L0 wrote:BTW I installed new arch on new drives, and all seems to work fine, GDM didn't start so I used KDM. All problems are gone and GNOME 3.14 works pretty nice.

[SOLVED] GDM/Gnome won't start

It's been more than a month now that my computer started to give me an error after booting. Before GDM starts, I get the following message:
Oh no! Something has gone wrong.
A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please contact a system administrator
This is not always, I suppose it happens 70% of the time (I need to keep restarting it a few times to get it working). I'm not sure it's a GDM problem because if I CTRL+ALT+F5, login and startx, it'll give me the same error message.
Does anyone have any idea what happened and how can I fix it? I'm running the latest packages.
I don't know which log files might help, let me know and I'll post them.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: here are some logs that might help:
Here you can see at least one failed reboot (the last lines was a sucessful boot ):
$ sudo journalctl -n 1000 -u gdm | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' sprunge.us
http://sprunge.us/KfSf
On this one there's a promising line Sep 18 20:53:07 localhost gdm[400]: Failed to give slave programs access to the display. Trying to proceed.:
$ sudo tail -1000 /var/log/messages.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' sprunge.us
http://sprunge.us/fOZU
Am I right to assume Xorg.0.log is from the current session? So I'm pasting the Xorg.1.log, which should be the previous failed one:
$ cat /var/log/Xorg.1.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' sprunge.us
http://sprunge.us/OaXL
Hell, it won't hurt if I provide the current one too:
$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' sprunge.us
http://sprunge.us/HVPc
Edit 2: I noticed the error only occurs when I get the following message on the boot screen:
[drm:init:ring:common] *ERROR* render ring initialization failed ctl 0001f001 (valid? 1) head 0000b174 tail 00000000 start 00303000 [expected 00303000]

I could not find this message on the log files, so here is a picture:

Well, seems to be a problem with the kernel 3.16.x:

I solved it installing the kernel from repo-ck (http://repo-ck.com/), it's all good now.

[SOLVED] CCSM won't start after updating compiz

I just updated compiz, compil-plugins-main, ccsm etc. and ccsm (Compizconfig settings manager) just dont start.
[broi@broi-Archlinux ~]$ ccsm
Info: No sexy-python package found, don't worry it's optional.
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/compizconfig.so: undefined symbol: ccsImportFromFile

I tried with "python2" or "python3" before I type a .py command (which worked in some issues) but in this one it dont help.
When I try with python 3 -> "python3 /usr/bin/ccsm" I get:
[broi@broi-Archlinux ~]$ python3 /usr/bin/ccsm

Thanks.
Solution: Rebuilt the compizconfig-python
UPDATE: Just run update and you will get fixed compizconfig-python.

Same problem after pacman -Syu (using XFCE).
Not only compiz won't start, my mouse cursor is gone until I open some windows. The window decorations have disappeared (minimize, maximize, close). This is even after removing the fusion-icon from autostart in XFCE and rebooting (afaict, compiz is not running as a process when I list running processes with ps -ef). Also having difficulty switching focus between open windows.

Mac won't start after update to Yosemite

After updating my MacBook Pro 13" to Mac OS X Yosemite, it became so slow (only went to the Apple Community after this problem and found other users experienced the same) so I restarted it. Because restarting, too, took a while, I shut it down by holding down the power button instead. Now, when I boot my Mac, it shows the Apple logo with the progress bar but it goes up to about one-fourth progress then shows an error/stop icon. Can't get through the login screen. How do I fix this?

Solved by going back to 3.5.10. All settings and bookmarks came back. Won't be upgrading again anytime soon - or will be switching to Chrome!

Blackberry 9220 won't start after updating OS

My blackberry 9220 was perfectly working for the past 8months, after finding out that there's a new update for os, i tried updating mine. I fell asleep while updating my os that i didnt notice if the os was successfully updated bt wen i woke up in the middle of the night, my phone won't start. When i tried charging it, the red led light lights up then the initial screen where you see the "blackberry" word and load bar below it starts bt only flashes and turns off. It keeps repeating. I tried going to a phone technician but they said they cannot reformat my phone because it doesn't turn on or completely turn on in the first place.. What should i do? Please help me.

IWeb won't start after update

Hey!
I just ran a bunch of system updates and now iWeb won't start. I reinstalled iLife'06 from the DVD and rebooted, but no luck. I have also repaired permissions and rebooted. I just get one bounce in the Dock and this message in the iWeb.crash.log:

Sounds like something major is missing from iWeb or from the iLife install.
If you didn't delete iWeb and the install package receipts from your computer before reinstalling iLife, iWeb would have only been updated. If it was corrupted before the update, the problem would not have been fixed by a reinstall.
Backup your domain file before doing anything else! It's in username/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Put a copy in a safe place.
Then try deleting everything to do with iWeb from your computer, going to drivename/Library/Receipts and deleting all the iWeb package receipts, empty the trash.
Reinstall iWeb.

Ipad won't start after updating to ios 8.1.3

My iPad was working without issue prior to updating to IOS 8.1.3 yesterday. After updating, not only would the ipad not start, it produced intermittent tones. The tone heard when device is plugged into an outlet for charging.
I attempted to turn the device off but it would not respond. Afterwards, a reboot was attempted numerous times by holding the home and sleep buttons down simultaneously. Once the Apple logo appeared the buttons were released, the logo disappeared but the device remained dormant.
While connected to iTunes and emitting the connection tones, periodically the splash screen would appear momentarily then turn off. I was able to swipe the screen on one of these occasions. The device worked properly until it was turned off after use at which time it would not turn on again and remains unable to turn on. It does not respond to attempts to turn it off or rebooting.
Prior to the update I did backup the device in case something like this would occur. Since I appear to have exhausted all my options to get the device to work, I feel the only remaining option is to restore it to factory default. I would appreciate advice from anyone who may either have experienced this same issue and found a resolution, or can provide thoughts on how I should proceed please.
If I proceed with a restore to factory default followed by a restore of the most recent backup, will I lose any data during this process? This will be my first time to erase a device so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I would, of course, prefer an alternative resolution. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, Tony.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your iPad no long starts after an update and you have a backup for your iPad. It sounds like you will need to restore the device to factory and then will have the option to access your backup after the restore complete. The only information that should be missing would be after the backup was completed until the device is restored. I have included the steps for going through this process in the articles below.

ITunes won't start after update

Hi,
I just upgraded my ITunes using the normal Apple update process when I was prompted - and now I-Tunes won't start at all.
I can see the ITunes.exe start in Windows Task Manager....then it just shuts down again.
Any ideas ?

I tried another solution :
1. Un-install I-Tunes
2. In-install Bonjour
3. Reboot
4. Install latest I-Tunes
This seems to have fixed the problem.
So it looks like BONJOUR IS THE PROBLEM.

Firefox won't start after updating

Firefox recently completed an auto-update, however now the software won't load.
If I click on the Firefox icon, I get the Windows egg timer for about 10 seconds, then the pointer reverts to normal and nothing happens. If I open Task Manager at the same time, when I click on the Firefox icon, I see the application listed for approximately 5 seconds, then it's removed from the list.
I have tried running in compatibility mode, as well as removing and re-installing, neither of which have helped.
Can you advise, please ?

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
