gnome-shell won't start after software upgrade
 
After doing an upgrade today with apt, gnome-shell won't start. The login manager comes up, asks for my username and password, I enter it and I get nothing but my desktop background. I was able to log in via the terminal and selecting 'Gnome-Classic' on the login manager will also allow me to log in. I noticed an upgrade to gnome-settings-daemon in the apt log. I also noticed that I am unable to open the 'System Settings' dialog; it crashes after a few seconds of trying to start. Here is the relevant info in .xsession-errors:

This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'GLXBadRenderRequest'.
(Details: serial 170 error_code 153 request_code 137 minor_code 1)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Does anyone know what I should do from here? Is it a GNOME keyring issue? Do I try to rollback the gnome-settings-daemon update? Thanks.

Code:

The error was 'GLXBadRenderRequest'.
This suggests a problem with your OpenGL drivers. Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file (or attach it to a post here).

Thanks Adam, but I solved the problem by removing GNOME and installing KDE. Never thought I'd do it, but I love Plasma! I apologize for not closing the thread last night.

That's fine, but you probably still don't have 3D acceleration.
