CentOS 7.5 kernel upgrade kills gnome-shell

Post by tstone » 2018/07/03 21:21:40

Hello,

I am running CentOS 7.5 kernel 3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64 as a VM on parallels version 13. I did a yum update which updated the kernel to 3.10.0-862.3.3.el7. After updating and rebooting the server I am unable to start the gnome-shell. The server displays a blank screen. I am able to ssh into the server and tried restarting gnome but unsuccessful. Looking at the logs I am seeing the below errors. I tried investigating online but was unable to find additional help. Any ideas?

gnome-shell[1696]: Unable to initialize Clutter: Unable to initialize the Clutter backend: no available drivers found.
