Subject: gnome-shell: Runs in graphic fallback mode when using another "TTY" during
log in
Date: Mon, 09 Apr 2012 02:22:20 +0200
Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.2.2.1-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
(first of all: I'm not sure, whether this is the right package to be blamed,
may be gdm3 or another one, too. My apologies, if I selected the wrong one)
I noticed it on another, similarily configured machine and proofed on this one.
gnome-shell (gdm3?) seems to be unable to detect your graphics settings while
you are using another TTY.
Steps to reproduce:
* Log in to your gnome-shell session
* Directly after having entered your password and pressed enter/hit OK, change
to another TTY by pressing CTRL+ALT+F[1,2,...] - while the machine is doing the
"log in work"
* Wait a few moments (or log in in the other terminal and do something), then
change back to the "gnome terminal"
* You are now logged in to your gnome session, however, it is running in
fallback graphics mode (you may get an error message about it, too)
* Log out and log in again, while staying in this terminal - you're back in
"normal mode" again
Regards,
Oliver

Dear Maintainer,
This bug still occurs on GNOME 3.4.2. Any idea when will it be fixed?
It is arguably the most annoying bug I've encountered.

It is most likely caused by your X driver reporting wrong information at
that time.
You can have a look at how gnome-session-check-accelerated works to see
what triggers this behavior.
