Gnome-shell borken after downgrading from ricotz ppa

[Wise Ferret]

Hello!

I tried upgrading gnome-shell using ricotz ppa - a grave mistake as it broke my system completely. I downgraded all the packaged using ppa-purge, and made sure that no package originated from this ppa remains on my system. However, now I cannot log in to gnome-shell; all I get is the wallpaper.

What can I do in order to debug this and solve this? Is this a matter of clearing tainted user settings? If s, how can it be done?

Have you reinstalled gnome shell?

Purging the ppa will have removed some packages, as you said, and I do not know if the system automatically replaces all of them from the standard repositories.

best todo do a full upgrade
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

if you get a problem open up gnome-classic and do it agin from there !

[Wise Ferret]

I did all this. I made sure through Synaptic that absolutely no package from the ppa remained. I re-installed gnome-shell and everything with "mutter" or "clutter" in its name, and, of course. updated and dist-upgraded.
Still, I get only wallpaper instead of gnome-shell.

Could be it is some changes made to your /home configuration files and folders by the upgraded version of gnome-shell.

What happens if you make a new user? Does gnome-shell then work OK?

[Frogs Hair]

You either have to use the PPA or the shell package from the software center not both . The version of the shell in the software center will likely remain 3.2.1 for the life of the 11.10 release . A distribution upgrade will give you the highest version available in the Ubuntu repository for your current release .

I looked in to the same PPA as a means of updating to 3,2,2 , but do to a warring about possible breakage I chose not to take the risk . I don't know what may be causing the problem if the PPA was complely removed .

The problem appears on new accounts as well, so I can rule out local configuration.

However, I think I found a useful hint in y xsession-errors log:

Any idea? Is there some package I need to remove or add here?

EDIT: This may be related to bug #877135. Does anyone have a 64-bit cogl-pango deb(s)?

If you can login to unity and have the synaptic package manager installed lookup libclutter-1.0-common and see if it is installed . The errors may be pointing to this package .

Thanks, but libclutter-1.0 commmon is already installed (1.8.0-1~svn1). Any other ideas of how to fix this?

Have you reinstalled gnome shell?

Purging the ppa will have removed some packages, as you said, and I do not know if the system automatically replaces all of them from the standard repositories.

I re-installed gnome-shell, but to no avail.
I am absolutely certain that no packages from the culprit ppa remain on my system. The "local" section in Synaptic contains now only games and such...

[Wise Ferret]

Problem seems to have disappeared magically! Gnome-shell is back and runinng and the weird cogl-pango errors taint my xsession-errors no more. I hope this will not come back, and in the meanwhile thank you all for sharing my confusion.
