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

    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
    Code:
     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.

    Code:
    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

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