Description Stijn Hoop 2011-09-30 12:29:53 UTC
Description of problem:

After update to rawhide 2011-09-30, gnome-shell crashed when arriving at the GDM login screen, so I had no greeter to login.

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

gdm-3.1.90-1.fc16.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.2.0-1.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Boot system
  
Actual results:

Greeter session crashes to GNOME fail whale

Expected results:

Able to select username

Additional info:

After much debugging I figured out that the schema file 

/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.login-screen.gschema.xml

was missing. gnome-shell tried to access settings from that file and crashed in the process.

This file is distributed with GDM 3.2.0. After installing it by hand service was restored.

Note that the GDM 3.2.0 build for rawhide failed in koji. I am not sure whether the schema was distributed with 3.1.90, so it might just be because of a mismatch in version numbers between GDM and gnome-shell.

Comment 2 Stijn Hoop 2011-10-04 08:22:47 UTC
Fixed in 3.1.92-1.fc16 which I just got... (not sure why, build date says 2011-09-16.
