Comment 4 Martin Bříza 2016-09-23 09:18:38 UTC
Was this in Wayland or X session?

Comment 5 lnie 2016-09-23 10:04:04 UTC
X session,and it seems that mediawriter works in f25 x session:
I'm still able to play with mediawriter after I disabled the wayland by editing /etc/gdm/custom.conf,and rebooted the system.

Comment 6 Martin Bříza 2016-09-23 10:05:40 UTC
You don't set your session to run in Wayland/X that way. You have to select Wayland or X in GDM when it runs - in the little gear icon under the password input box.

Comment 7 Neal Benner 2016-12-02 23:13:42 UTC
I am able to replicate using mediawriter package version 4.0.7 on both the cinnamon 3.0.7 desktop and the gnome wayland desktop (I think that's the gnome-desktop3 package? which is installed 3.22.1) at the time of writing this I noticed there is an updated version to both packages and I am in the process of updating both to test again...

The difference I'm seeing so far is that the freeze only happens when I click the "create live usb" button and on gnome the whole desktop freezes... on cinnamon the mouse can still move around but nothing responds. Switching to a tty does not seem to work in either case.

I'll report back any differences after updating, otherwise assume the issues are continuing as described.

Comment 8 Martin Bříza 2016-12-05 09:52:04 UTC
Neal, if you're using the nouveau driver, your problem is most likely the same that's described in bug 1398936.

Comment 9 Neal Benner 2017-01-04 23:56:11 UTC
You are correct, I jumped too quickly on the first bug I found that resembled my issues. Thanks for pointing that out :)

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 23:12:18 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 11 Fedora End Of Life 2017-08-08 17:35:51 UTC
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
