Instead the GNOME 3 Desktop it seems the message:

A problem has occured and the system can't recover.
All extensions have been disabled as a precaution.

Be careful with dist-upgrades!Zu spät!

Was soll ich jetzt tun, um GNOME 3 wieder zum Laufen zui bekommen?

I assume you need to manually revert all new gnome packages to the working older ones.

You need to find one of the new packges (apt/dpkg log) and try to go back to the previous version:

Code: [Select]

apt-get install <package>=>previous_version> -s
Most likely you get errors for broken dependencies. Then you include those allegedly broken packages to the install command:

Code: [Select]

apt-get install <package1>=>previous_version> <package2>=>previous_version> -s
You find the available vesions with:

Code: [Select]

apt-cache policy <package1> <package2>
It is boresome work, but you learn a lot and get confident about what's going on.

How can I install the newest Packages?

It seems you can't do this successfully because currently nobody can because at the time being there is no complete new set of working Gnome3 packages.

We're getting closer. Just two left, the libs get replaced by newer versions.

Code: [Select]

root@oppa-hex-ssd:~# apt-get -d dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  gnome gnome-shell-extensions libmarblewidget18 libmutter0d libvlccore7

Hi,
meanwhile  I have my siduction-Firestarter with gnome-shell 3.14.0-1 topically.
It works in a VirtualBox 4.3.16  from ORACLE-Homepage https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads (Debian 7 ("Wheezy") i386) under Host aptosid.
I have installed the VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.16 in the Guest siduction.

But now I can't enter the GNOME-session with this message (vide attachment).

I found out that the reason for this mystic message is because the VBoxGuestAddions-4.3.16 and gnome-shell 3.14.0-1 are incompatible.
After uninstalling the VBoxGuestAdditions from /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.16/uninstall.sh the GNOME-session and KDE-session works well again.

I think the passed gnome-shell Version in siduction has a bug because of the mystic message come up.
The KDE-session works fine anyway.

Hi,
to verify the problem please make this:
1) Install the VirtualBox 4.3.16 from ORACLE Homepage https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads in your Host Distro.
2) Create a new machine for siduction and install it from siduction-13.2.1-december-gnome-i386-201401272119.iso
3) Boot the siduction and install the VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.16. Than make a D-U in Runlevel 3 to gnome-shell Version 3.14.1-0 .
4) Reboot and you should have the mystic message and GNOME will not run

5) Boot with a Live-DVD and uninstall the VBoxGuestAddions-4.3.16 with

Code: [Select]

nount /dev/sda1 /media/x
mount -o bind /dev /media/x/dev
mount -o bind /sys /media/x/sys
mount -t proc /proc /media/x/proc
cp /proc/mounts /media/x/etc/mtab
cp /etc/resolv.conf /media/x/etc/resolv.conf
chroot /media/x /bin/bash -i

cd /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.16
sh ./uninstall.sh
exit6) Boot the siduction and GNOME works well again without GuestAdditions

no need to use a live cd and chroot.

Just tell grub to boot to runlevel 3 by adding a 3 to kernel-command-line on grub's boot screen


I really don't understand why you are splitting the infos by running 3 threads for one problem...

[Hanisch]

Hi

the solution is found.
Oh, wonderful. It works fine now with the VBoxGuestAdditions_4.3.17-96277.iso installed in siduction Guest.

Code: [Select]

    There are Testbuilds at https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds, the last two lines for guestadditions and extpack.
 The gnome-shell Version 3.14.1-0 is compatible with this newest VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.17.
Thank you very much.

These treads was necessary to find a way for problem to solve.
Some postings was defaming and not constructive.

@Hanisch:

more then one thread for the same problem is contraproductiv. Gathering the splitted information is time consuming -for the helper as for the one being helped.

In many fora people for this reason refuse to answer if they discover that the same question is posted more then once -even if it is not in the same forum.

In many fora insisting on were a thread has to be placed when a dev or admin decided otherwise -with reason as you have seen- may lead to getting ignored at best.

Telling any helping person who is around here longer then three weeks what a rolling release is also not very smart.

Siduction forum is here very tolerant.

Sorry, I have not known that the rolling of siduction has Hold points for released issues.
My old aptosid is from  "sidux 2009-01 Ουρανός - kde-full - (200902151348)" and nobody has ask me in past for release.
