Hi Tim, you are right, the comment #24 file is from "gnome-shell --replace" under lxde. I tried to login directly to gnome-shell session from lightdm. That is unsuccessful. I can only see my mouse cursor. nothing else. everything is black screen except my mouse cursor.

First, the log file here is "gnome-session-gnome.log" instead of "gnome-session.log"

Second, I am not sure how "gnome-session-gnome.log" works. Will every login create a new log file? or simply append to that log file? I did "cp gnome-session-gnome.log /somedir/" at the session I can not login gnome with nvidia driver by using VT. Then I login to gnome with intel driver successfully, when I check the updated log file, the first part of the file is the same. I am attaching both log files.

One is at the time I failed to login gnome-shell with lightdm+nvidia. Another one is at the time I login gnome-shell successfully with gdm+intel.

Thanks.
