Description g.trentalancia 2014-07-07 12:27:15 UTC 
Login on Gnome version 3.12 (gdm and other components involved such as gnome-session and gnome-settings-daemon) is much unstable.

It is very difficult to login. Here is what happens when X starts:
- after minutes of frozen console screen;
- the "Something has gone wrong" screen on a light grey background is displayed (without a "Logout" button);
- then the Gdm graphical login prompt appears without a user list (only the "Not listed?" question is visible on a dark grey background);
- then again, after minutes (dark grey screen as above without anything written), the "Something has gone wrong" screen appears with the "Logout" button (gnome-session-failed);
- then finally, after a while, the Gnome session appears.

The following is gdm-greeter.log:

Sounds like a gnome-settings-daemon crash.
Comment 2 g.trentalancia 2014-07-07 13:51:07 UTC 
gnome-settings-daemon is version 3.12.2. Is there any way to attach a debugger to it ?
Comment 3 g.trentalancia 2014-07-07 16:13:13 UTC 
I have attached the debugger from a gnome-terminal, to get the following stack trace:

(gdb) run --debug
Starting program: /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon --debug
warning: Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vdso.so.1.
Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?

> (gnome-settings-daemon:2663): power-plugin-DEBUG: No systemd (logind) support, disabling plugin

Which distribution are you using? Is systemd really not available on your system?
The crash is likely due to the fact that this code path wasn't tested at all.

This should fix the crash:

commit 92d03e224f096bd7d3b69cc8c29ac859dd46e058
Author: Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net>
Date:   Wed Jul 9 11:26:32 2014 +0200

    power: Fix crasher when logind isn't available
    
    We need to check for the array being non-NULL before trying to
    destroy it.
    
    https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732836

I'd recommend using a distribution that has systemd/logind available nonetheless.

> Did you forget to push? I don't have that commit here.

Indeed, pushed now.

If the patch doesn't fix the problem, please install the debuginfo packages before reproducing the crash, the backtrace lacks things such as function names and line numbers.

Systemd is not being used on my system. However the proposed patch does not prevent segmentation fault:

I don't know the reason why it does not print the line numbers on the stack trace. I can try compiling the libraries with -O0 instead of -O1 and let you know...

I found that the problem was triggered by a version of gnome-settings-daemon that was compiled with systemd installed but not running. After removing systemd completely including all systemd libraries, header files and pkgconfig files then gnome-settings-daemon compiled and ran fine.

However the problem originally described for this bug (difficulties during graphical login) did not disappear even with a working gnome-settings-daemon. In other words, the main issue is not due to gnome-settings-daemon despite there were crashes in the log.

commit 84315ec620be6615cada80cb197c2891663068e0
Author: Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net>
Date:   Tue Jul 15 12:57:55 2014 +0200

    daemon: Fix crash when a plugin failed to start
    
    When a plugin failed to start, and wouldn't return an error, we'd
    crash trying to access the error. The error wasn't immediately
    visible as this part of the code is implemented as one large macro.
    
    This fixes a crash on startup when gnome-settings-daemon is compiled
    with systemd support but logind isn't available on the running system.
    
    https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732836

Please file a separate bug about the gdm problems, now that one of the crashes is fixed.

I cannot test the second patch, as I have sorted out the issue, as already explained, by removing systemd completely from the system and then recompiling gsd without any patch.

This bug was originally filed under gdm. I will, if and when possible, file another bug for the other problems affecting gdm...
