Gdm3 not starting after upgrade

Has anybody else problems starting gdm3? After updating my pocket the other day gnome won’t start any more. I can still log in via terminal and start e.g. kde manually as a workaround.

As far as I can see there are unfulfilled dependencies regarding gjs, libgjs0 and gnome-shell. So I guess, it will be fixed with one of the next updates.

Hi, can you paste the exact error messages about the dependencies that you are seeing?

Hi, hope, I was on the right track…

sudo apt upgrade
Aktualisiere nicht:
gjs libgjs0 network-manager-applet nm-connection-editor

sudo apt install --reinstall gjs libmozjs-140-0 gnome-shell
Auflösen von Abhängigkeiten… Fehler!
Einige Pakete konnten nicht installiert werden. Das kann bedeuten,dass
Sie eine unmögliche Situation angefordert haben oder, wenn Sie die
Unstable-Distribution verwenden, dass einige erforderliche Pakete noch
nicht erstellt wurden oder Incoming noch nicht verlassen haben.
Die folgenden Informationen helfen Ihnen vielleicht, die Situationzu lösen:

Nichterfüllte Abhängigkeiten:
gjs : Hängt ab von: libgjs0 (= 1.89.2-2) aber 1.89.2-1 soll installiert werden
Fehler: Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting assignments:

  1. gnome-shell:arm64=50.3-1 is selected for install because:
    1. gnome-shell:arm64 is selected for install
    2. gnome-shell:arm64 is available in version 50.3-1
  2. gnome-shell:arm64=50.3-1 is not selected for install because:
    1. gjs:arm64=1.89.2-2 is selected as an upgrade
    2. gjs:arm64=1.89.2-2 Hängt ab von libgjs0 (= 1.89.2-2)
    3. libgjs0:arm64=1.89.2-2 Beschädigt gnome-shell (< 51~beta~)

That’s a strange mix of german and english, how did you end up with that? Normally everything should be in english only…

But it looks as though you’re right, I can also not install/upgrade “gjs” at the moment. We probably have to wait a day or so, or if you’re very adventurous, try packages from experimental.

Oups; your’e right. Didn’t take notice on that. I’ll change my LANG setting so that everyone is able to read such posts :slight_smile:

Fixed/workaround: Downgraded gjs and libgjs0 to the state before my apt upgrade and set them on hold. Now I’m back into gnome.
