Description David Juran 2011-08-24 20:28:35 UTC
Description of problem:
I've noticed that if my USB Camera (Canon IXUS) is plugged when starting up the computer gnome-shell fails to start up at log in but instead throws a little pop-up telling me about an unspecified fatal problem and advices me to log out.

Unplugging the camera solves the problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.0.2-4.fc15

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in camera and turn it on
2. start up the computer
3. Try to log in


Additional info:

In $HOME/.xsession-errors, the following lines can be seen:

(gnome-settings-daemon:2120): updates-plugin-WARNING **: failed to open directory: Error opening directory '/run/udev/firmware-missing': No such file or directory

(gnome-shell:2161): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: invoking IsSupported() failed for remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.Private.GPhoto2VolumeMonitor: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:50:33 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Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained.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:
