Description Kamil Páral 2013-08-28 11:56:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
I put F20 Alpha TC1 i386 Live onto USB flash drive using dd and then booted it on this computer. It contains nvidia graphics and there's some kernel error during boot, I don't know whether it is related. After boot, I see just "Oh no something's wrong" screen.

Version-Release number of selected component:
gnome-shell-3.9.90-1.fc20

Comment 14 Kamil Páral 2013-08-28 12:33:04 UTC 
Reproduced on three different computers with two different USB media. Reproduced with dd, livecd-iso-to-disk and liveusb-creator.

Proposing as a blocker:
Release-blocking live and dedicated installer images must boot when written to optical media of an appropriate size (if applicable) and when written to a USB stick with at least one of the officially supported methods.

Comment 15 Kamil Páral 2013-08-28 12:35:24 UTC 
Oh, and the same issue is reproduced with CD in KVM, so this is not related to USB conversion at all.
Comment 16 Kamil Páral 2013-08-28 17:14:33 UTC 
Discussed at 2013-08-28 blocker review meeting [1]. This is accepted as an Alpha blocker, because it violates the following F20 alpha release criterion for the 32bit desktop spin: "Release-blocking live images must boot to the expected boot menu, and then to a desktop or to a login prompt where it is clear how to log in to a desktop."

Comment 17 drago01 2013-08-30 13:48:27 UTC 
Can you please retest with that build http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5873826 (one it is done) ?
Comment 18 Kamil Páral 2013-08-30 14:18:25 UTC 
I tried to build my own LiveCD, but there seem to be broken some dependencies. And even if I succeeded, RelEng probably uses a different build process. So ideally we need to have it included in the next TestCompose. However, we need a non-scratch build for that.

Please make a non-scratch build and switch this bug's status to MODIFIED. It will be picked up for the next TC.

Thanks.
Comment 19 Giovanni Campagna 2013-08-30 14:55:44 UTC 
Can you instead install the scratch rpm on the existing TC2 live cd?

Also, would it be possible to have the full coredump, or even better a gdb session where you try to look around at the level of meta_monitor_manager_handle_get_resources() and see if anything is obviously garbage?
Comment 20 drago01 2013-08-30 15:10:27 UTC

You can just do 

yum install http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/3828/5873828/mutter-3.9.90-2.fc20.x86_64.rpm

And restart your session.

coredump with mutter-3.9.90-2.fc20

Good idea. I did, restarted gdm, but it did not help, still the same screen.

> Also, would it be possible to have the full coredump,

Attached, using the new mutter.

I'm afraid I don't have the required gdb skills. Please do try it, the image is here:

Comment 22 Dethlef Madsen 2013-08-30 18:34:04 UTC 
Just want to tell that the new mutter-3.9.90-2.fc20.x86_64.rpm did it for me. May be another bug but I had the same effects like Kamil. 

My system is a HP 5750 with AMD dual-core 64-bit CPU and AMD/ATI X1100/1150 mobile grafic chip. Before the new mutter I added radeon.modeset=0 to the kernel cmd-line and it works but the grafic was slow. 

This is true for 64-bit. If I boot the 32-bit TC2-iso form usb flashdrive the new mutter-3.9.90-2.fc20.i686.rpm has no effect. With radeon.modeset=0 it works again.

I you need some logs please ask.

Regards,

DM
Comment 23 Giovanni Campagna 2013-09-02 07:26:49 UTC 
Oh I get the problem, this is 32 bits! That explains why it wasn't crashing for me.

Ok, so I just need to cast all the varargs to the right size...

Please fix this problem in .90 as I can't use GNOME after updating to this version for already 2 weeks.

> Can anybody retry it with the latest builds?

Looks good so far but I cant do a full update on my stick. There are still missing depends. Seems koji is still working on the rest the files. 

But a 

# yum update mutter gnome-shell

and init 5 brings you to the normal screen now on i686 and is performant.

I will try a full update later.
Comment 29 Christopher Meng 2013-09-04 13:21:34 UTC 
Wow....I just tried .90 again with some gnome updates pushed yesterday.

Better and more smooth interface since last time I could login ;)

But still has crashes and network connection is not stable.

When I use botton on my laptop to enable/disable wifi, it crashed, but alt+tab switch could work so it didn't affect me.

Looks like you are using the rawhide repos (fc21). IMO it should fc20 only.

That's my out from my harddisk install.

See attached file.
