I'm having some problems with gnome-shell. I downloaded from the Ubuntu repository (not ricotz-testing), and typing gnome-shell --replace I get this (I removed some repetitions :) ):



alecive@calliope:~$ gnome-shell --replace

Someone could help me in getting gnome-shell running? I'm experiencing very annoying behaviors and I really wish to get it on my desktop! :(



To clarify - I know how to log in into gnome-shell from the login screen, but gnome-shell systematically crashes the desktop. So, to see what errors it gives me, I login into unity environment and then I type gnome-shell --replace



Moreover, I already used gnome-shell since its natty version and my video-card fully support it. This seems to be a library issue rather than a simple problem related to my ignorance. I think the last two lines of the code prompted above, you can see some dependency.



PS: For the record, I'm on Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10 32bit :)

The error message "Requiring Clutter, version 1.0: Typelib file for namespace 'CoglPango', version '1.0' not found" indicates that a library is missing -



The likely culprit is gir1.2-cogl-1.0



Therefore, to install this:



sudo apt-get install gir1.2-cogl-1.0


If it is says it is already installed - try forcing a reinstall.



sudo apt-get --reinstall install gir1.2-cogl-1.0


It is perhaps also wise to reinstall (or force reinstall) clutter using the package gir1.2-clutter-1.0
