Picture of blank screen after reboot, cursor displays correctly
Attempted to perform a reboot/restart this morning and the issue persists. The issue also presented itself twice during the bootup from a completely shutdown state. All Xorg.*.log and /var/log/gdm logs attached as of now. When the display does not come up after reboot, exiting to the shell and issuing a 'systemctl stop display-manager.service' and then a 'systemctl start display-manager.service' allows the GDM login screen to appear. It takes some time after starting the service, but it does appear. X seems very sluggish though after performing this procedure. Created attachment 619447 [details]
All Xorg.*.log files directly after failing to display GDM login

All /var/log/gdm logs directly after failing to display GDM login
After some additional tests this afternoon and this evening, it appears the GDM login screen does eventually appear from the state shown in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=619442, however, it typically takes 3 to 4 minutes from a blank screen to the login screen. Very rarely, the system immediately displays the login screen at startup. The usual case is the 3 to 4 minutes. I think that this must be the behavior of the ATI driver (or at least NOT gnome-shell) since my NVIDIA system with exactly the same updates applied does not exhibit this behavior. However, that is just a guess at this point. The delay before X displays the GDM login screen and the GNOME 3 Activities panel seems to be substantially less with today's Fedora 18 updates. I will keep testing. This sounds like the issue I'm having - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=875557. Seems to be an ATI driver issue. There also seems to be some confluence with a GDM bug that is apparently resolved in 3.6.2; sorry I don't have the bug number for that to hand. Adam, are you able to reproduce it on latest Fedora 18 or 19? This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '18'. 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 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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. I cannot reproduce on the very same card with F21 rawhide or RHEL7; GDM displays immediately every time after a reboot. Closing now. |
