From the log above, "Gnome-Message: gnome_execute_async_with_env_fds:
returning -1" the API tells me "This function forks and executes some
program in the background. On error, returns -1". Do you have any apps
set to auto start in the session preferences (or check
~/.config/autostart/ )?

Also, is your network set up correctly, can you ping 127.0.0.1 and the
address "172.17.xx.xx" from the log?
