Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-gnome mailing list
<gnome at FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 227334: x11/gnome-shell: shell and desktop failed
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227334



--- Description ---
I have been running GNOME3 on a desktop machine with an NVIDIA GTX 1050 GPU
without issue since October last year. After recently doing a pkg upgrade I can
no longer log in though.

GDM runs properly but when I log into a GNOME session I get the "Oh no
something has gone wrong" message after about a minute of a grey screen. The
mouse continues to work and I can click the Log Out button to return to GDM.

I think my X configuration is fine as I'm able to log into an Xfce session from
gdm without issue (I'm writing this from that session).

The issue might be related to gnome-settings-daemon although this has not been
updated recently.

There is at least one other person experiencing the same issue as reported on
the forums:
