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 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
