No Gnome after NVIDIA driver installation(only Gnome-fallback)

[KlausHybrid]

Hi
I'm a newbie(I guess)
I have an optimus laptop and I followed staticn0de's guide (https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?21956)for installing CUDA. After installing NVIDIA and CUDA successfully(also bumblebee) I can't get to Gnome, after executing this command

dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session session-name 'gnome'


then logging out and logging in, I'm in gnome-fallback again.

I've checked out System Settings->Details-> Graphics. Nothing is written next to Driver.

I could log into gnome with my intel GPU before installing NVIDIA.


Thanks in advance.

I don't know if it can be useful, but if you run "update-alternatives --config x-session-manager" on a terminal do you have the "Gnome" options? Tell us what's the output

Sorry it took me so long to answer.




There are 8 choices for the alternative x-session-manager (providing /usr/bin/x-session-manager).

Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/bin/gnome-session 50 auto mode
* 1 /usr/bin/gnome-session 50 manual mode
2 /usr/bin/gnome-session-fallback 40 manual mode
3 /usr/bin/lxsession 49 manual mode
4 /usr/bin/openbox-session 40 manual mode
5 /usr/bin/startkde 40 manual mode
6 /usr/bin/startlxde 50 manual mode
7 /usr/bin/startxfce4 50 manual mode
8 /usr/bin/xfce4-session 40 manual mode

Number 7 shoul be the one you need. In this way, kali will start in a xfce session

Why would I want xfce? I'd rather use Gnome-Fallback, but thanks anyways
