The Greeter sometimes does not display the GNOME Shell top bar
_Originally created by @intrigeri on [#12548 (Redmine)](https://public-redmine-archive.tails.boum.org/code/issues/12548)_ On 3.0\~beta4. The desktop background was black and the corners of the greeter’s window were square. Only relevant logs I could find: May 16 11:33:15 amnesia gdm-shell-tails.desktop[3502]: X Error of failed request: XI_BadDevice (invalid Device parameter) May 16 11:33:15 amnesia gdm-shell-tails.desktop[3502]: Major opcode of failed request: 131 (XInputExtension) May 16 11:33:15 amnesia gdm-shell-tails.desktop[3502]: Minor opcode of failed request: 59 () May 16 11:33:15 amnesia gdm-shell-tails.desktop[3502]: Device id in failed request: 0x27c May 16 11:33:15 amnesia gdm-shell-tails.desktop[3502]: Serial number of failed request: 253 May 16 11:33:15 amnesia gdm-shell-tails.desktop[3502]: Current serial number in output stream: 253 … immediately after X.Org detected the “spice vdagent tablet”. And indeed, there’s no running `gnome-shell` process for the GDM session. I wonder if this might be related to `set-cursor.py`. The keyboard layout and admin password I’ve set was successfully applied. ### Related issues - **Related to** tails/tails#12364
