Description
This test case tests whether GNOME 3 startup is successful with the (DRIVER) driver.
Setup
- Use a GNOME 3-based live image, or an installed system with the GNOME 3 desktop available
- Ensure the nomodeset and (MODULE).modeset=0 kernel parameters are not set in your bootloader configuration
- You can see your current kernel options by running
cat /proc/cmdline
- You can see your current kernel options by running
- Ensure the file
/etc/X11/xorg.confdoes not exist, or is a valid file that uses the (DRIVER) driver - Shut your system down entirely, then start it up again
- If using a live image to test, ignore the above steps and simply boot the system from the live image with default options
How to test
- Attempt to log in to the GNOME 3 desktop
- Wait for the log in process and observe the result
Expected Results
- If the system hardware/driver combination is capable of supporting GNOME Shell, then GNOME Shell should be started
- If the system hardware/driver combination is not capable of supporting GNOME Shell, then GNOME's fallback mode - using GNOME Panel and Nautilus to display the desktop - should be started
- The system should never fail to display a desktop at all, or get stuck in a loop attempting to start either mode and failing
