Description Brandon Nielsen 2026-02-25 18:05:21 UTC 
Description of problem:

Actual results - At some point gnome-initial-setup dumps core, the settings selected (timezone, wireless) seem to be applied correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component:
gnome-session-50~beta-1.fc44

Bug reports for this component on Red Hat Bugzilla are not actively monitored. Please consider reporting your issue directly to GNOME at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/ to improve the chances that your issue will be resolved. This issue should only be kept open if it:

1. Relates to Fedora packaging or integration with other Fedora components
2. Is required for Fedora release processes, such as blocker bugs and freeze exceptions

If this issue isn't needed for either of these two reasons, please:

 * create an issue with GNOME
 * add a link to the GNOME issue here
 * close this issue as CLOSED/UPSTREAM

Thank you!
Comment 9 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2026-02-25 18:27:33 UTC 
Proposed as a Blocker for 44-final by Fedora user nielsenb using the blocker tracking app because:

 Since this appears to prevent the welcome screen from appearing, stretch the [first boot experience](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_44_Final_Release_Criteria#First_boot_experience) criteria to apply to the first login welcome screen. If the first login welcome screen doesn't appear, it cannot withstand a "basic functionality test".
Comment 10 Brandon Nielsen 2026-02-26 18:51:33 UTC 
I have not been able to reproduce this. Either the core dump, or the welcome screen not occurring on first login.
Comment 11 Kamil Páral 2026-03-09 16:52:55 UTC 
Discussed in a blocker review meeting [1] on 2026-03-09. The outcome was:

!agreed 2442689 - RejectedBlocker (Final) - this is a bit worrying, but for now it does not seem reproducible, openQA tests don't seem to be hitting it. We don't have any clear indication there's a regularly-encountered issue that breaks the first boot flow
