Description Daniel Morante 2011-06-20 01:28:21 UTC
Description of problem:
GNOME login stalls after successfully signing on.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 15 DVD
Fedora 15 Pre-Upgrade

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install or Upgrade to Fedora 15
2. Reboot
3. Attempt to login into GNOME.
  
Actual results:
GNOME does not start, stalls with blank screen with only the blue GNOME/Fedora wallpaper.  Random hard disk activity gives the sense that 'something' is happening, but nothing happens even after several minutes.

Expected results:
GNOME 3 Shell should appear, or GNOME 3 Fallback mode should kick in.

Additional info:
The above was initially encountered from a fully functional Fedora 14 installation that was upgraded (with pre-upgrade) to Fedora 15.

The system was wiped clean and Fedora 15 was installed from scratch using the Fedora 15 i386 DVD.

System Specs:
Sager D800P Laptop
Pentium 4 3.2 GHz
1GB RAM
80 GB HDD
ATI Mobility Radeon (RV350) 9600 M10

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 18:27:17 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
