Yes, I wonder if it=E2=80=99s supposed to be persistent in the first place.= I guess ~gdm/.cache can help speed things up maybe, and perhaps there are persistent settings too, like the a18n stuff? > I moved it out of the way and the gdm login prompt appeared within a few > seconds. After restarting xorg-server the directory was recreated. So I moved ~gdm/.cache and ~/.cache out of the way and restarted =E2=80=98xorg-server=E2=80=99. After that, I was still unable to log in You removed all of ~gdm, right? ~/.cache/gdm/session.log shows this (the important bit is =E2=80=9Ckilled by signal 11=E2=80=9D :-)): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- dbus-daemon[2867]: [session uid=3D30011 pid=3D2867] Activating service name= =3D'org.gtk.vfs.Daemon' requested by ':1.1' (uid=3D3 0011 pid=3D2878 comm=3D"gsettings get org.gnome.system.locale region ") dbus-daemon[2867]: [session uid=3D30011 pid=3D2867] Successfully activated = service 'org.gtk.vfs.Daemon' (process:2887): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 13:46:37.032: g_object_new_with_p= roperties: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (obje ct_type)' failed (process:2887): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 13:46:37.036: g_volume_monitor_get_mo= unts: assertion 'G_IS_VOLUME_MONITOR (volume _monitor)' failed (process:2887): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 13:46:37.036: invalid (NULL) point= er instance (process:2887): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 13:46:37.036: g_signal_connect_da= ta: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instan ce)' failed (process:2887): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 13:46:37.036: invalid (NULL) point= er instance (process:2887): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 13:46:37.036: g_signal_connect_da= ta: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instan ce)' failed [...] dbus-daemon[2867]: [session uid=3D30011 pid=3D2867] Successfully activated = service 'org.gtk.vfs.AfcVolumeMonitor' GNOME Shell-Message: 13:46:38.700: No permission to trigger offline updates= : Polkit.Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Action= org.freedesktop.packagekit.trigger-offline-update is not registered (.gnome-shell-real:2928): mutter-WARNING **: 13:46:38.911: Failed to load b= ackground 'file:///gnu/store/ga4arkrdndyv52cs062n2l9hgnqfjyaq-gsettings-des= ktop-schemas-3.28.0/share/backgrounds/gnome/adwaita-lock.jpg': Erreur lors = de l=E2=80=99ouverture du fichier /gnu/store/ga4arkrdndyv52cs062n2l9hgnqfjy= aq-gsettings-desktop-schemas-3.28.0/share/backgrounds/gnome/adwaita-lock.jp= g=C2=A0: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type GNOME Shell-Message: 13:46:38.917: Error loading calendars: Erreur lors de = l=E2=80=99appel de StartServiceByName pour org.gnome.Shell.CalendarServer= =C2=A0: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process o= rg.gnome.Shell.CalendarServer exited with status 1 (gsd-rfkill:3033): rfkill-plugin-WARNING **: 13:46:38.951: Error setting up= rfkill: Could not open RFKILL control device, please verify your installat= ion (gsd-rfkill:3033): rfkill-plugin-WARNING **: 13:46:38.974: Could not open R= FKILL control device, please verify your installation (gsd-sharing:3036): sharing-plugin-WARNING **: 13:46:39.063: Failed to Stop= Unit service: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The na= me org.freedesktop.systemd1 was not provided by any .service files (gsd-sharing:3036): sharing-plugin-WARNING **: 13:46:39.063: Failed to Stop= Unit service: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The na= me org.freedesktop.systemd1 was not provided by any .service files (gsd-sharing:3036): sharing-plugin-WARNING **: 13:46:39.063: Failed to Stop= Unit service: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The na= me org.freedesktop.systemd1 was not provided by any .service files (gsd-sharing:3036): sharing-plugin-WARNING **: 13:46:39.070: Failed to Stop= Unit service: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The na= me org.freedesktop.systemd1 was not provided by any .service files gnome-session-binary[2872]: WARNING: Application 'org.gnome.Shell.desktop' = killed by signal 11 (gsd-xsettings:3007): xsettings-plugin-WARNING **: 13:46:39.193: Failed to = get current display configuration state: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.E= rror.NoReply: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without reply= ing (gsd-power:3026): power-plugin-WARNING **: 13:46:39.193: Could not create G= nomeRRScreen: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The na= me org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig was not provided by any .service files (gsd-media-keys:3022): GLib-CRITICAL **: 13:46:39.199: g_variant_get_va: as= sertion 'value !=3D NULL' failed (gsd-media-keys:3022): GLib-CRITICAL **: 13:46:39.199: g_variant_unref: ass= ertion 'value !=3D NULL' failed --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- > Yup, after moving /home/rekado/.cache out of the way, everything is fine > and I can log in. Weird. It would be nice to find out what the relevant bits are. If it=E2=80=99s not ~gdm/.cache, then the only things I can see are: .config/ibus/bus/*-unix-0 .config/dconf/user (a binary file, not modified in a while) .config/pulse (unlikely?) .local/share/icc I=E2=80=99ll try again later to selectively remove these files on that mach= ine that runs GNOME.
