The issue has not surfaced in the last two attempts, after maintaining F15 updated constantly - and there have been for sure NetworkManager updates. I will maintain this bug open for an extra week, where I am supposed to visit three different customers with distinct LAN address schemes, and if the issue doesn't pop up again I'll close the bug. Closing, as the issue hasn't been reproducing anywhere. |
Created attachment 505098 [details] copy/paste of output of GNOME3 session to framebuffer console Description of problem: GNOME3 session doesn't start up, Log Out button asks to retry. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-3.0.2-1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: twice in 10 days Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure system to start at systemd equivalent of runlevel 3 2. at console, log in with unprivileged user 3. run 'startx' Actual results: Occasional GNOME3 session failure to start, with Log Out button asking to retry Expected results: GNOME3 session starts up normally Additional info: - No .xsession-errors file exists - Problem happens if system boots with an Ethernet cable attached, after NetworkManager is used with different LANs (I travel to multiple customer sites, some have DHCP, some have DHCP but require me to use fixed IP addresses, some do not have DHCP and require me to use fixed IP addresses, etc.) As a workaround, 1. log out of failed GNOME3 session 2. disconnect Ethernet cable 3. re-issue 'startx' from console session 4. observe GNOME3 session fire up correctly 5. reconnect Ethernet cable 6. see NetworkManager happily give me back my wired connection Attaching what I was able to capture at framebuffer console session upon logout.
