[problem] Gnome-session failure after Updating to build 40410

General Discussion
1

gnome-session will not start, it seems that the issues has to do with “wayland” service
according to dmesg logs as shown below. I see that there no later build than 40410.
Is there a package I can add? Setting I can change?

[Problem] Latest Build 40470 Has Issues X-Win Application Crashing

I set up a fresh installation on a NUC with an Intel(R) Core™ i5-7260U and internal graphics Iris Plus Graphics 640. I successfully brought up Gnome with Wayland out-of-the-box.

Comparing your journal with mine, all the other warnings match up until you get a segfault from gnome-shell in iris_dri.so.

As far as I know, the A770 should be well-supported, but I’m wondering if there’s an issue in that library related to that card vs. onboard.

If you can get the actual output from dmesg, maybe there’ll be more of a stack trace. Also, I would try swupd repair --picky just in case something didn’t get completely updated, and let me know if you have anything set in /etc/gdm/custom.conf.

First of all thank you for responding. I done more work with this issue. I have been booting
desktop iso’s trying to determine at what build gnone-session fails. I have even tried to turn off wayland via /etc/gdm/custom.conf. That was a complete failure, it seems wayland is
far to integrated with the later builds. Below are the build desktop iso’s tried:

desktop iso’s Boot status w/GUI
clear-40040-live-desktop.iso successful
clear-40050-live-desktop.iso successful
clear-40410-live-desktop.iso fails
clear-40420-live-desktop.iso fails

I will take a closer look at the changes via release notes listed in the build
URLs at Index of /releases/ (clearlinux.org).
I will check to see if the library you pointed out had a version change.
There are a lot of builds in-between where I am and that is current now.

As far as going back to a version, I am good, I use a pair of rescue USB disks that I
update prior before updating my internal drives on my server. I attempt to update the USB
rescue disk to the later version if that does not work, I don’t update my server something.
I have learned with Clear Linux.
