Description

I discovered this today as well. I was trying to do a minimal install of Fedora with GNOME like so: 1. Use the netinstall ISO "Minimal install" option 2. dnf install gnome-shell @base-x 3. systemctl enable gdm.service 4. systemctl set-default graphical.target After bootup all I would get is a black screen and a cursor. Upon installing libnm-gtk, everything works fine. This is actually preventing Rawhide Workstation live images from booting ever since Fedora-Rawhide-20171201.n.0. Composes before that one pulled libnm-gtk into the Workstation live images somehow, but composes from that date onwards do not, and sure enough, GNOME fails to start on boot with the same error reported here:
Dec 19 04:07:20 localhost-live gnome-shell[1329]: JS ERROR: Error: Requiring NMGtk, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'NMGtk' (any version) not found
@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/status/network.js:11:7
Looking at an F27 Workstation live, libnm-gtk seems to have been pulled in by some NetworkManager plugins - NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome , NetworkManager-pptp-gnome and NetworkManager-vpnc-gnome . It seems that the dropping of libnm-glib also somehow results in those packages no longer depending on libnm-gtk , and since gnome-shell is missing the dependency, it is left out of the live image entirely.
This is an automatic F28 Beta blocker, per "Complete failure of any release-blocking TC/RC image to boot at all under any circumstance - "DOA" image (conditional failure is not an automatic blocker)" - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process#Automatic_blockers
<kalev> should be fixed in gnome-shell-3.27.1-3.fc28 so for Rawhide purposes this is MODIFIED, but for F27 we'd need an update. gnome-shell-3.26.2-3.fc27 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 27. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-85b6c8a430 *** Bug 1525779 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 1503864 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** gnome-shell-3.26.2-3.fc27 has been pushed to the Fedora 27 testing repository.
