Description Harish Pillay 2018-05-05 09:57:08 UTC

Description of problem:
I updated my Fedora 27 desktop via the dnf upgrade path. It downloaded all the needed packages, and got update. When I tried to login (GNOME Xorg), it kept logging me out without even showing the desktop. Tried GNOME Classic and GNOME and all failed. Both LXDE, Openbox work. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 28 updated via:
"dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=28"

How reproducible:
Not sure about this. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Not sure
2.
3.

Actual results:

I should have been able to log in via GNOME but no.

Expected results:

Crashed out without seeing the GNOME desktop

Additional info:

Right now, logged in via LXDE.

Solved as per this tweet by William Henry:

https://twitter.com/ipbabble/status/993228035368235008

essentially, to remove/move .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions

Once that was done, I could log in.

Just an update to this. I had two GNOME extensions installed: Show IP and Internet Radio. After removing both as per earlier comment, I then tested by adding them one by one. Internet Radio worked OK. Adding Show IP immediately crashed GNOME and I could not log back in. Had to remove the extensions and things were back to normal.
