backtrace (abrt fails to do anything for me)
(Xorg session works just fine, that's what I am using right now) Can you do the following: 1. Log in Xorg (as that works) 2. Reset the value of “auto-save-session” to its default $ dconf reset /org/gnome/gnome-session/auto-save-session 3. Log out ands retry to log in GNOME on Wayland (In reply to Olivier Fourdan from comment #5) > Can you do the following: > > 1. Log in Xorg (as that works) > 2.

Log out ands retry to log in GNOME on Wayland I switched off auto-save-session in the proper dialogue (so yes /org/gnome/gnome-session/auto-save-session is false), logged out, and then rm -rf ~/.config/gnome-session/. Now I have Wayland session working.

Now I have Wayland session working. So, from what I could observe (reproduced on two different machines locally), enabling “auto-save-session” in gnome-session settings will break the Wayland session, from the logs it looks like it's trying to start X11 specific stuff and fails, and gives up with a “Unrecoverable failure in required component”) Disabling the option is not sufficient, one has to move the saved session away (e.g. mv ~/.config/gnome-session ~/.config/gnome-session.old) to be able to log in again. But there might be more than one bug there (which would not be surprising given that the option is off by default, so unlikely most people will hit that bug), because the backtrace (attachment 1382345 [details]) shows a crash in mutter X11's session management code, trying to save the state of a client window while the workspace is NULL (thus the crash). Considering that the workspace is supposed to be set in _meta_window_shared_new() (via set_workspace_state()), I would like to have access to the core file from gnome-shell, could you place it somewhere where I could download it? → Meanwhile, there is clearly a bug with gnome-session and Wayland. To reproduce: 1. Set /org/gnome/gnome-session/auto-save-session to TRUE 2. Try to log in Wayland session. (In reply to Olivier Fourdan from comment #7) > I would like to have access to the core file from gnome-shell, could you place it somewhere where I could download it? Damn, sorry, I have already removed it (after generating that backtrace). Created attachment 1382434 [details] save: make sure app state is written into desktop file There are a number of important bits of app state written into an applications desktop file that needs to be restored when the session is saved. For instance, the phase in which the client should get started. That state is currently stored on the GsmApp object, which is inaccessible, from the client save function. This commit adds the neccesary plumbing to route the GsmApp object associated with a client to the client save function, and also adds code to allow the app object to augment the client keyfile at save time. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790913 Created attachment 1382511 [details] save: make sure app state is written into desktop file There are a number of important bits of app state written into an applications desktop file that needs to be restored when the session is saved.

autostart: ensure gnome-shell and mutter get right autostart phase
Previous versions of gnome-shell neglected to save the autostart phases
for required components in the session state. While that is now fixed,
users may still have old saved state that lack the autostart phase.
In order to ease upgrades, this commit manually adds in the phases that
are important for a functioning GNOME desktop.
^ i think this should fix the upgrade situation. my 7.5 vm is a little butchered up right now, so i can't easily test it yet. going to start a fresh install and push following testing. Ok, sorry for the false positive.
Removing the "phase" from saved-session/org.gnome.Shell.desktop does indeed prevent from login in Wayland even with attachment 1382946 [details]
I've added some traces which show that the app_id is "org.gnome.Shell.desktop", not just "org.gnome.Shell" so the g_strcmp0() won't match.
So using:
if (g_strcmp0 (app_id, "org.gnome.Shell.desktop") == 0)
fixes the issue apparently...
OK, if it is not problem that the Wayland session crashes, then everything is perfect, and this bug could be verified. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Created attachment 1372606 [details] output of journalctl -xb Description of problem: Not sure what's the problem, but after upgrades (with RHEL-Nightly) I cannot start Wayland session, which worked before. I successfully login from GDM, screen switch to the neutral grey background (which is not my current background, I have an image as the one), and then I get back to the GDM login. X session works (that's what I have running right now).
