ERROR / WARNING

Direct rendering enabled but can't start gnome-shell

  • Issue: glxinfo tells that direct rendering is enabled, but still boot on gnome-classic
  • Solution:

Install missing packages:

$ sudo aptitude install firmware-linux \
firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-linux-free linux-headers-`uname -r`

Reboot, and you're done.
