gnome3 freezes at startup

[keegandoig]

well I still get lockups even with gnome shell 3.4.2. so far didn't find any solution. somebody please help

I had the same problem with the Gnome shell. I fixed it by logging into a Unity session, removing the Gnome shell and its configuration files by running

sudo apt-get purge gnome-shell

This removes your Gnome tweak tool as well. Re-install by running

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell gnome-tweak-tool

Hope this fixes your problem.

Mine freezes about 1 in 10 times also (loggin in using gnome-shell). Frustrating.
