Is there a message in dmesg when this happens? A segfault perhaps? Created attachment 576410 [details]
dmesg 10apr
Created attachment 576411 [details]
xorg log 10 apr
no, there's no crash i can see in dmesg. i also included the kernel cmdline. the default systemd target is multi-user.

x error from ssh
attemtping to start x from the ssh session, i got this output which looks simpler :)
no -{X,Y} were involved. nevertheless, Xorg.0.log looks the same.
Hello Adam, today's updates fixed this bug. Now gnome 3 can run (in fallback mode) on this video card. Many thanks to you and your fellow developers! (If you agree, this bug can be closed.) This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19 |
