Subject: gnome-session: Black screen only when choose "GNOME on Xorg" session
Date: Sat, 14 Apr 2018 15:07:27 +0300
Package: gnome-session
Version: 3.28.0-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
On GDM greeter I choose "GNOME on Xorg" session.
Then I login.
* What was the outcome of this action?
After login there is only black screen instead of gnome-shell. After a while I
was presented with GDM greeter again.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expect to have a normal gnome-shell experience.

Subject: gnome-session: Black screen only when choose "GNOME on Xorg" session [solved]
Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2018 13:36:51 +0300
I was able to solve my problem removing "workrave" from auto started programs.
Now I have normal gnome-shell session which can be crashed (going to
black screen) when starting "workrave".
best regards
Kamen
