This may sound like a stupid question, but I wanted to float it before I sp= ent some time to go off and try to research it. I'm seeing a problem with G= nome 3 not working above a certain memory configuration, but there is still= some overlap I can't explain. I figured I'd float it in case it was a know= n issue. Gnome 3.14.2 works on a FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE-p10 machine with 32GB of memor= y (32768 real, 31641 avail). Gnome 3.16.2 works on a Lenovo laptop with 8GB of RAM. Gnome 3.16.2 fails on a Lenovo laptop with 32GB of RAM (same laptop, 32768 = real, 31386 avail) Gnome 3.18.0 fails on a server with 256GB of RAM. X in all cases is generally well behaved; I can run xdm, log in, life is wo= nderful. A few applications crash, but no more or less so than under Gnome = on the working machines. The common symptom of failure is that upon providing your username and pass= word, there is a long delay, followed by the white "Oh no! Something has go= ne wrong." screen with the option of logging back out, which works. The only message I get on the console beyond the normal startup junk is is = "gdm[XXXX]: Failed to remove greeter program access to display. Trying to p= roceed." On the Lenovo, I can switch between the memory configs, and it "works", or = "not". Again, just curious if its known in circles other than mine before I chase = it at all. I have the fallback of going to another window manager/desktop, = so its not critical, so I'm not sure how many hours I'll burn on it, but I'= d like to be able to keep trucking with my existing desktop.=
