gdm crashes on login
I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 and I'm using a proprietary NVidia driver. My recent problems started (surprise, surprise) after a recent update of the drivers.
At the moment, I cannot login using GDM - after entering the password and hitting "Login", it stays on a blank grey screen. The result is the same no matter whether using Wayland or Xorg. However, a couple of days before, I could still sometimes login and the results were different: an Xorg session worked without issues, while the Wayland session was extremely slow and the system monitor showed very high CPU load (70~80%). Since then, I've reinstalled the xorg-* packages several times, but I didn't install anything new or remove anything. I also kept installing updates, but as far as I've seen, they didn't involve anything video-related.
Here is my journalctl -xb
output from such crashed session (obtained via ssh, as Ctrl+Alt+F2 doesn't work either). Some of it is in Polish, but I think the relevant parts are in English. The disaster seems to start at line 4889, but maybe there are some suspicious symptoms earlier.
Interestingly, if I bypass GDM and start the i3 window manager with startx
, everything works normally. So it's not directly a video issue, rather something with GNOME.
Please use fpaste instead of whatever that horrid upload site is. Asking people to wait 50 seconds and look at ads before they can see your log files to offer you help is … yeah. Use fpaste.
Thank you, didn't know about that. I've updated the link. No need to downvote.
Where do you get Nvidia driver from, their website?
The driver comes from rpmfusion-nonfree.
