Bug#766359: gnome-shell: gdm shows a black screen when upgrading to 3.14.1-1

[Thiago Bellini]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.14.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I tried upgrading gnome-shell on 2 machines at my home. One is a desktop with a
core 2 duo and nvidia gpu, the other one is a notebook with a core i5 and intel
hd 4000.

After upgrading to the current version on unstable (3.14.1-1) and restarting
the computer, I was presented to a black screen. On the logs it looked like
everything went ok, but I could not see anything. The only way to interact with
my system was to go to tty1 and use the console from there.

I tried upgrading both gdm3 packages to the current version on unstable too,
but with no luck. The only thing that "fixed" the problem was when I downgraded
gnome-shell back to 3.14.0-1. I didn't even had to downgrade gdm3.

If you need any more information or want me to test anything, just ask and I
gladly will :)
