Hello friends I was using EL7 on gnome 3 for few months without any problem. Even 2 hours ago I had the computer (Laptop running on Nvidia-Prime) turned on and everything was working without flaw. But when I turned on the computer few minutes ago, I got login screen (which does not usually happen, since I have autologin turned on) and when I entered my login credentials I got black screen and went back to login screen. Everytime I entered my credentials the same thing happened so I was stuck in endless login loop. At first I thought it was caused by gnome-extension I updated to new version today. So I restarted the pc, went to runlevel 3, renamed the folder with extension in /home/user/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/"extension_name" to another name as a quick and dirty way to disable it. I restarted the pc and now I can't even get to login screen. I get stuck at text saying: "A start job is running for Wait for Plymouth Boot Screen to quit (25s / no limit)". I can go to another cmdline session and when I try to run exec gnome-session nothing happens, I just get logged off the cmdline session and must log in again. When I try to run startx my screen blinks and I get this output: xauth: file /home/user/serverauth.2372 does not exist. Output from command systemctl status gdm says: Starting gnome display manager Started gnome display manager GLib-GObject: g_object_set_valist: object class "GdmSession" has no property named "display-is-initial", GdmDisplay: display lasted 2.909... Seconds gdm_display_finish: assertion 'GDM_IS_DISPLAY (self)' failed journalctl -r gives me these errors: vgargb: this pci device is not a vga device gdm_display_finish: assertion 'GDM_IS_Display (self)' failed Process 1165 (gnome-shell) of user 42 killed by SIGSEGV - dumping core Process 1194 (gnome-shell) of user 42 killed by SIGSEGV - ignoring (repeated crash) Unrecoverable failure in component org.gnome.Shell.desktop Please could you help me with finding the problem? I am not really sure what could be the issue, since I did not change or update any packages today, nor changed the configuration files. Only change I am aware of was the update of the gnome-extension. Thank you very much and have a nice day O.

When this happens, I simply fully shutdown laptop for a minute and when I boot up again, the card is found and all is well.? I might as well mention that I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 on my laptop so your problem might be different but just thought I might mention it just in case... https://askubuntu.com/questions/941259/nvrm-no-nvidia-graphics-adapter-found I used to do exactly like you - drop to shell and start messing with stuff until I realized that this is what was happening.? My workaround has been to simply shutdown, wait a minute and reboot - works always!
I ended up reinstalling the system. Nothing seemed to help. I am still not sure what happened. But thank you very much for response :) On Wed, Nov 29, 2017 at 10:25 AM, Anthony K <akcentos at anroet.com> wrote:> On 25/11/17 12:09, vychytraly . wrote: > >> Hello friends >> >> I was using EL7 on gnome 3 for few months without any problem.
