That is funny, :D When Gnome is involved, those error messages are all ways a possibility.
Me, NO Gnome, and I never get those kind of messages.
I use Open Box, with some XFCE utilities.

Don't use Debian testing if you can't find the answer yourself in these forums. It's only been asked and answered a million times.

True. But does installing just bare bones GNOME makes it more prone to these errors?

I did ..I found this topic after I did a search. A noob would've made a new Topic. No?
And...Let's just say I am taking leap into learning. I come from Arch and this is the way I install Linux. While Stable is well..Stable it feels too outdated. And I hear (I am not sure) that Testing is like having a Rolling release.

there's no such thing as "minimal GNOME". that's a contradiction.
unless you believe in chickenshit minimalism...
