Gnome 3.2 was released a few days back. With an improved shell and various other integrations, this shell will please many users.
I hope this is the appropriate forum. This is actually 2 issues in one because the core issue had a work around for me which I was willing to put up with so I'll describe the whole thing.
1) Ever since 10.04, gnome-sheel will freeze every so often for some reason that I have not been able to determine (happens at different times running different things).
I'm using Mint but I think it's a valid Ubuntu question, if not then I'm sorry.
I'm using a 64-bit Mint 12 (which is built on top of Ubuntu 11.10) and every once in a while (and pretty often) the desktop will start acting weird.
Usually only the application I was using stays on top, and other application just won't appear.
I don't remember exactly how or where I found this solution but it would
The GNOME Shell redefines user interactions with the GNOME desktop. In particular, it offers new paradigms for launching applications, accessing documents, and organizing open windows in GNOME. Later, it will introduce a new applets eco-system and offer new solutions for other desktop features, such as notifications and contacts management.
This is a repost, because no one had popper solution. What to do when gnome-shell freezes?
Everything works correctly (music is still playing etc.), just the gui freezes. I am able to ctrl+alt+f1.
What can I do after logging in the ctrl+alt+f1 terminal, in order to restore gnome-shell? If gnome-shell worked, I'd just hit alt+f2 and run r.
Are there any tricks for speeding up Gnome Shell, such as by disabling any extra "flashy" features?
I tried installing the Disable Window Animations Extension, but I haven't noticed any difference.
I've been using Gnome Shell under Ubuntu 11.10 for a few weeks now, and I generally like the new interface (and much prefer it over Unity).
hi to all,
since one day, i can't start gnome-shell for my main user, but when i switched to fallback mode,the user can login.
I've create a new use and i can open sessions with gnome-shell using this user
how can i solve this problem?

This system worked fine until now: Ubuntu 12.04, Gnome-Shell, Nvidia GTX 460
Then I installed a plugin for Firefox ( proxtube.com ) which required a restart of FF.
I clicked 'restart now' and the system froze immediately (not even ttys were accessible)
After a restart gnome-shell does not start correctly:
There are no panels, menu-bars, or something (except the background and the desktop folders)
