This is clearly not a critical bug. Please don’t abuse bug severities.

This is expected in a KVM guest, since it doesn’t have GL support.

In the end there is no usable information in this report. Please explain
what you mean. 
      * Does the “GNOME” session fail to switch automatically to
        fallback mode? If so please provide the glxinfo output. 
      * Does the “GNOME fallback” session fail to start? If so please
        send your .xsession-errors after it has failed. Common problems
        are broken startup files in .local/share/applications.
