Gnome shell unresponsive after an update
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 precise x64 as single OS on an Intel dual-core 1.7 GHz laptop with 2 GB of DDR2 RAM and 160 GB HDD.
Recently I upgraded the linux kernel to 3.6.9 from upubuntu. After that, a few 'apt-get update's later, my Gnome shell (not Unity, classic GNome 3.4.2) stopped working, leaving a crash window which says "Gnome had an error.." or something like that. I wonder what the problem could be. P.S.- Downloaded gnome shell from ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 |
Problem solved
After NOT getting any help from LQ people, I had no choice but to uninstall and re-install the whole distro. I think it was an incompatibilty issue for gnome 3.4 and nautilus extensions.
The best part is more than a hundred people viewed the questions, nobody helped or cared to even try! |

I always stick with the standard Ubuntu repos and I never have problems like this. Quote:
I had never even heard of that http://www.upubuntu.com site before I found this thread. Thanks to you, I now know to avoid it. |

The problem is that you decided to install an unsupported kernel from an unsupported source at your own risk. Quote:

I'm sorry but I had to reply. No offense intended at all, just replies to your comments. |

My point was that you created your own problem. I never alter my system unless I am prepared to reverse the changes if things turn out badly. This is why I have never had these problems. I am not a know-it-all, but I know enough not to be dangerous. There will likely never be a shortage of people around here who manage to get themselves into all kinds of problems by adding rogue repositories to their Ubuntu system. I always give them the same advice that I have given you. Usually, this is after nobody else has manged to fix the mess that they created for themselves. Sometimes this is the price you pay for an education. The fact that nobody replied to your thread is a good indicator that your situation is a rather unique one. And as you said: Quote:

Thank you tommcd, I uninstalled and re-installed Ubuntu and now I use repos from ONLY Ubuntu software center. And for about a month, I haven't faced any problem with gnome or compiz. Also using official repos supported by Ubuntu makes my sources.list file clean and error-free. Thank you once again. :hattip:
