Bug#769072: gnome-shell: GNOME Shell crashing with "Oh no, something went wrong"

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.14.1-1
Severity: grave

I have this problem after an upgrade made a week or so. Unfortunately I
haven't analysed the problem immediately, because of an urgent work to
do I've just started to use the computer "remotely" with ssh.

I vaguely remember a message saying something about configuring a video
driver, which unfortunatelu I did not write down. I've looked for it in
apt log but was unable to find it. Are all the apt messages stored
somewhere?

The files  ~/.cache/gdm/session.log and ~/.cache/gdm/session.log.old are
older than the problem, new files are not created.

On another partition of the very computer I made a fresh install of
jessie and it works OK. How to pin down the differences in the
configuration? My working system has more packages installed, but the
packages possibly relevant to the problem seems the same on both
installation.

I will appreciate very much your help.

Janusz
