So I have been using linux mint for a while now. A few months ago my Gnome shell crashed and I was unable to use the full 3d features and loaded into fallback mode only. From that day (around 2 months ago) I still have only fallback mode (both Gnome and cinnamon). I installed Linux mint maya, and Ubuntu 12.04 both as windows file and complete installation in an external hard drive. and for many times I sitll cannot fix this problem. ps I made sure to download all the drivers for my graphics card. what could the problem be?

What do you do from a freshly installed system to download the drivers? Like, exactly what commands? What video card do you have?– Andrew WonnacottJan 18, 2013 at 14:19

To find video card, run "sudo lshw >> ~/Desktop/lshw-report-for-Andrew.txt" in the terminal and put it into your question, or on pastebin and give me the link.– Andrew WonnacottJan 18, 2013 at 14:21

lshw lists the hardware on your computer, and sudo lets it see all hardware on yoru computer, even hardware disabled for your account (which could be a problem)– Andrew WonnacottJan 18, 2013 at 14:21

Try creating a new user to check if it is simply something wrong with you user's settings.– terdonJan 18, 2013 at 16:34
