Xorg.0.log from a failed attempt to bring up gdm
On every try with gdm-3.2.1.1-8.fc16 I collect more of these like Xorg.1.log, Xorg.2.log .... and up to Xorg.6.log but they all really look the same.
Oh, and passing as a boot argument rd_NO_PLYMOUTH prevents plymouth from misbehaving but does not change at all what gdm is doing.
With various updates (in particular kernel-3.1.5-1.fc16.x86_64 and newer xorg-x11-drv-ati) but the same gdm-3.2.1.1-8.fc16 and the same xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.11.2-3.fc16 gdm at least bothers to start. There is the same quarter of a "busy" indicator in the upper left hand corner and modelines are probed and printed _six_ times but eventually a login screen appears. This is how this looks in logs: # grep gathered /var/log/Xorg.0.log [ 41.083] (II) RADEON(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: [ 49.161] (II) RADEON(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: [ 49.248] (II) RADEON(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: [ 49.319] (II) RADEON(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: [ 49.405] (II) RADEON(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: [ 49.474] (II) RADEON(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: None of that in logs when using old gdm-2.20.11 and a login screen appears quite faster Created attachment 547017 [details]
Xorg.0.log with gdm-3.2.1.1-8.fc16
This is in the current configuration after assorted updates.

Xorg.0.log with gdm-2.20.11
This is for comparison. The same hardware/software as the above with gdm replaced and only pulseaudio-gdm-hooks removed due to dependencies.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is 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" 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
