My Gnome3 cannot work properly anymore. I can login successfully, but I just get a blank screen, and the cursor. I have installed Unity and KDE on the same machine. Unity has the same problem, KDE works.

Hardware

My video card is an Intel i915:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor
Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)

I have two monitors, one connected with VGA, the other one with DVI.

Logs

Grepping the Xorg.log for errors, I found this:

[1817.840] (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)

But I don't know if it could be related...

Note

Yesterday I shutdown the system when it was in standby (I know standby is not working, so I had to do that).

What can I do to have my loved Gnome3 back and running? :)

It was the nvidia driver. Installed to provide opencv...

sudo apt-get remove nvidia-319-updates

Fixed it. I can't understand why it installed that package in the first place. Anyway, now it works.
