Bug 1212833

hardware: z97 motherboard, Nvidia GK110 based graphics card

I have exactly the same bug with Fedora 22 Beta rc3, XCFE spin.
After i log, the login window go away, nothing happen, and then 2-3 seconds my mouse is frozen.

I have a HP Elitebook 840 G1 (intel + ati graphics).

Tested again with Fedora 22 Final TC2 Desktop. The mouse still freezes after login.
I assume that so few people are hitting this bug that it is not considered a blocker bug

Tried again with Fedora 22 TC3 Desktop - same error
This time i noticed that the bios  was stuck on displaying the code for nvram initialization during boot up (and never changed). 

The bios does not display this code when Fedora 21 boots up. 

btw if any the official fedora people have read this could you please indicate that you have. please reply here as i never read the yahoo mail account.

my mistake - In Fedora 22 Beta rc3 desktop the gnome screen was displayed but mouse / keyboard was frozen. in Fed 22 TC3 Desktop the gnome screen doesnt get displayed.
in TC3 i installed it twice - once with using my own file system layout, and once with using TC3 defaults (except i did use delete old file system and recover space window)
the results were the same.
my one attempt to chroot into the installed system to update it failed, but i will try again. (i only learned about chroot today)
I was hoping to get some debugging assistance so that there would be a possibility of getting this fixed before f22 gets released

As expected the same problem exists in the released version of Fedora 22.
I found a workaround - I booted into Fed22 in text mode. From there I was able to issue a startX command and gnome started normally (without failing)
since startx works and the graphical login manager doesnt, i am shifting the blame to GDM in the component entry above

Pretty sure I have the same problem. Running a p67-based mobo and GK110 based GPU. Live system works fine. Tried reinstalling, didn't help.

I could boot into a text mode and start x from that, like you said. I then installed the nvidia drivers from RPM Fusion and after I rebooted logging in through GDM seemed to work. I'd say it could be a nouveau problem then? But Nicolas said the same thing happened on a system with ATI graphics, so I don't know.

Same here.  Fresh install of F22, GDM login screen appears, as soon as I log in, I get a grey screen with a mouse pointer in the middle that is frozen.

I can ssh in from another machine, gnome appears to have started, 

I can see all the normal processes seems to have started, and nothing spinning (100% CPU )

+ I've done a dnf upgrade to get all the latest packages
+ I tried repm fusion, and the closed source Nvidia driver
+ I tried disabling wayland in (  /etc/gdm/custom.conf )

I installed from the workstation, live ISO, written to a USB memory stick.  The live ISO worked fine.

Tried again with a fresh install.

- Clean install issue still exists
- Installed nvidia drivers from RPMFusion, I can now log in, and seems stable so
  far.

Graphics card is ...

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK110 [GeForce GTX 780] (rev a1)

I am having the same issue. I tried using Gnome, Gnome Classic and Gnome Wayland, all have same results.

I have the following hardware: 

Asus Maximus VII Gene
i7 4790K
Nvidia GTX780Ti
16Gb RAM

I really want to run Fedora 22. Has anyone found a solution to this?

I would also like to add that Live USB and DVD work just fine.

you can try logging in using text mode and then either 
1) install the nvidia drivers and reboot, 
or 
2) make sure you logged in as a user (not admin) and type startx to go into graphics mode (so you can use firefox to follow the instructions on how to install the nvidia drivers. i prefer the instructions here -->> http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2014/fedora-20-nvidia-guide/
use dnf rather than yum in the instructions.

I will check back over the next few days to see if you need help in doing any of the above

@myComputerisATyrant

First attempt, did not work for either #1 or #2.  

#1. Followed directions in the link provided
   
I wound up with a low resolution screen, and once the Fedora logo completed filling up, I received an error message stating that something went wrong. Not sure exactly what went wrong. I will reboot later and get more information.

#2.

Prior to loading the nvidia driver, I booted the system, entered text mode as a user (not admin), tried to startx but nothing happened except a black screen and I was unable to access the system.

I will try again since this is a clean system and report my findings.

Thanks for the help!

Still no joy, here are the steps I performed on my second attempt.

1. Wiped system clean of all partitions.
2. Booted the Live USB
3. Installed with automatic partitionaing
4. Created root password.
5. Created user with admin privs.
6. Rebooted after install was complete.
7. At login screen, entered text mode via CTRL-ALT-F2
8. Added the RPMFusion repos
9. Installed the nvidia drivers
10. dnf update -y
11. Rebooted
12. Received screen that says, "Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occured and the system can't recover. Please logout and try again."

Which was the same error I received earlier.

This is appears to be a Gnome 3.16 GDM issue. I tried the Gnome Ubuntu 15.04 and it worked fine, as soon as I upgraded Gnome to 3.16 via the PPA, I experienced a very similar issue. System locked.

I don't think it's Gnome 3.16 GDM, because i tried in the XFCE spin. Or maybe we just don't have the same bug. (You have an error screen. My screen is just completely frozen. Notice that it was with the beta, maybe i have now an error screen.)

did you disable the nouveau drivers as per my link ?

@Nicolas

I think it may be GDM, as I installed Ubuntu Gnome, which has ships with Gnome 3.14. I installed it and it worked fine. As does Korora 21, which also ships with Gnome 3.14.

Ubuntu Gnome has a PPA for upgrading to 3.16. I tried it, everything went smoothly, but it locks up as soon as I login. Same as Fedora 22.

@myComputerIsATyrant

I did disabled the nouveau driver. Though I am going attempt to reinstall again, following the directions again, in case I botched something.

Thanks,
John

@myComputerIsATyrant,

I attempted to follow the directions in the link you provided again. Still no joy. I can see that the nouveau driver was blacklisted.

Would love to see this resolved, so many new features that I would love to checkout.

I found evdev (xorg-x11-drv-evdev) wasn't installed (got to f21 from f21 via an upgrade so perhaps that was the caused), installing that improved things somewhat:  usb connected keyboard/mouse started working; and I could cntrl-alt-f3 to a terminal.

Perhaps look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for signs that they keyboard/mouse are messed up.

Same applies to Fedora 23 Final. After manually installing xorg-x11-drv-evdev keyboard and mouse started working again. Seems to be a dependency problem.

Well, in F22+, the default input driver is libinput - xorg-x11-drv-libinput . I guess if you have a custom X config file that explicitly specifies evdev then that might be a problem, but I'd suggest removing that or adjusting it to use libinput.

What makes you think that?

On the other hand, this is interesting:

$ rpm -q xorg-x11-drv-libinput
package xorg-x11-drv-libinput is not installed

I'll try zapping evdev and installing that.

"What makes you think that?"

Nothing specific, it was just a scenario I could think of where evdev not being there would be a problem.

"On the other hand, this is interesting:"

Yes it is - if evdev is being removed but libinput not being installed on upgrade, that seems like a bug.

Removing xorg-x11-drv-evdev and installing xorg-x11-drv-libinput finally got both the laptop's keyboard+trackpad and usb keyboard/mouse working.

looks like the problem.

(BTW, an unfortunate side effect seems to be that it now takes a lot longer for the login screen to appear :-/)

Could you find the upgrade transaction in the dnf history and attach it?

Use 'dnf history list | less' to list transactions, then 'dnf history info X > somefile' to log one transaction to 'somefile', where X is the transaction number - you should be able to identify it by the large number of changes and the date.

Here's the first few entries.

man.f22, .., evdev.f22 were presumably all installed after the upgrade while fedup.21 was presumably installed just before it.  That leaves transaction "3" but that isn't very interesting.

Perhaps someone else will have more luck.

oh, you did your upgrade with fedup? Ah :/ I was assuming it was a recent one done with dnf-plugin-system-upgrade . With fedup the transaction won't be in the DNF history indeed. Well, I'll see if I can reproduce it, I guess.

I just did a quick check with an upgrade from F21 to F23 as things stand, and it seems to keep xorg-x11-drv-evdev installed...

I am seeing this issue too on a mobile computer (laptop) Samsung 400B2B with intel 2nd gen Core i5 processor and a fully updated F23. This issue seems to be specific to the X server, but does not happen on wayland.

What works:
* Login screen (gdm, with wayland)
* gnome session with wayland

What doesn't:
* gnome session with X. Immediately freezes. Keyboard doesn't work to switch to tty or run sysrq codes. Nothing in log files about that.
* login screen with sddm (based on X). Immediately freezes (as above), power button still works.

Sometimes even the wayland session freezes when resuming from sleep (suspend to ram).

I am getting this in Fedora 23.  However, my mouse is able to move.

1. Login
2. Login screen hides
3. Grey fedora background shows.  I'm able to move the mouse but, there is nothing on the screen to interact with.

* Pressing Escape seems to restart something.  The screen goes to command line, then back to the GUI and I'm able to use the computer as normal
* Pressing Ctrl+alt+F# has a similar effect

System Specs:

* ASUS G751 laptop with GeForce GTX 970m

Note:

This seems to be an old problem.  I've found a reference to the same symptoms of this bug here:

http://fedora.12.x6.nabble.com/Gnome-login-hangs-F20-after-fedup-upgrade-td5018263.html

Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
