Description Joachim Backes 2011-09-02 09:35:26 UTC 
Description of problem:
after having updated to gdm-3.1.90-1 and gdm-plugin-fingerprint-3.1.90-1 
the login to a gnome-shell session fails (error: "Oh no! Something has gone wrong").

Disabling the gnome-shell-extensions (as proposed) is useless in this 
situation.

After having downgraded the two packages to

gdm-3.1.2-5.fc16.x86_64 and
gdm-plugin-fingerprint-3.1.2-5.fc16.x86_64

all is OK again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gdm-3.1.2-5.fc16.x86_64
gdm-plugin-fingerprint-3.1.2-5.fc16.x86_64


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Update gdm*
2.try to login to a gnome-shell session
3.
  
Actual results:
error: "Oh no! Something has gone wrong"

Expected results:
login is performed

Session log from gnome login attempt

I am having the same problem.  I can not login to icewm either, where the .xsession-errors gives:

icewm-session: using /home2/barry/.icewm for private configuration files
IceWM: using /home2/barry/.icewm for private configuration files
icewmtray: using /home2/barry/.icewm for private configuration files
IceWM: A window manager is already running, use --replace to replace it

Also if I drop to init level 3 (the only way I know to kill gdm)  I can login in the console and do a 'startx', which will bring up gnome, but uses the fallback mode.  Before the upgrade gnome-shell ran in normal mode.

Please see bug 735252 
Maybe, duplicated bug?

I'm fairly sure this was fixed along the way, joachim, please re-open if you still have trouble.
