sounds similar to the earlier problems where the old session is not quite ending and keeping gdm from creating a new one. What does loginctl list-sessions say after the logout ? If the session you just ended still shows up, what does loginctl session-status say for it ? Yeah somewhat similar but this happens with no prior X desktop session. After the failed authentication, no hanging session: # loginctl list-sessions 1 42 gdm seat0 2 0 root seat0 2 sessions listed. After successful login (see screenshot attached below): # loginctl list-sessions 1 42 gdm seat0 2 0 root seat0 3 1000 petersen seat0 3 sessions listed. # loginctl session-status 3 3 - petersen (1000) Since: Wed, 31 Oct 2012 21:55:35 -0400; 1min 13s ago Leader: 1013 (gdm-session-wor) Seat: seat0; vc1 Display: :0 Service: gdm-password; type x11; class user State: online CGroup: name=systemd:/user/petersen/3 ├ 1013 gdm-session-worker [pam/gdm-password] └ 1022 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login # loginctl show-session 3 Id=3 Timestamp=Wed, 31 Oct 2012 21:55:35 -0400 TimestampMonotonic=275751659 DefaultControlGroup=name=systemd:/user/petersen/3 VTNr=1 Display=:0 Remote=no Service=gdm-password Leader=1013 Audit=3 Type=x11 Class=user Active=no State=online KillProcesses=no IdleHint=no IdleSinceHint=0 IdleSinceHintMonotonic=0 Name=petersen Created attachment 636460 [details]
screenshot of gdm hanging around after login
Pressing Cancel goes back to gdm login, but repeating the process it is not possible to login as that user without restarting gdm. There has been no movement on this in almost a month and no new reports. Is this still happening with F18 beta? Does it happen if fallback is forced via preferences instead of removing shell? I'm -1 blocker, though. While it could be seen as a violation of the following F18 beta release criterion: All release-blocking desktops' offered mechanisms (if any) for shutting down, logging out and rebooting must work. If I'm understanding correctly, the user is logged out. They just can't log back in afterwards. I realize that I might be splitting hairs here but it wouldn't affect lives as users wouldn't usually be logging out from a live session (thus fixable with an update post-install) and sounds like it could be worked around with a system reboot or restarting gdm. I can't see blocking release for this if it were the last bug remaining. I'm +1 NTH, though. I broadly agree with tflink as described, but it's possible we're missing something. tentative -1 blocker / +1 nth. Ditto. -1 blocker / +1 nth > If I'm understanding correctly, the user is logged out. or not yet logged in > (thus fixable with an update post-install) and sounds like it could > be worked around with a system reboot or restarting gdm. I can't see > blocking release for this if it were the last bug remaining. Agreed NTH is fine: re-proposing. (Apart from gnome it seems only @cinnamon and @sugar use now gdm: I changed "@basic-desktop" to use lxdm - partly because of this bug.) -1 blocker, +1 nth I count +4 NTH - moving to AcceptedNTH Upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690803 (Cannot edit "See Also" here.) clearing acceptednth as f18 nth is closed now, adding upstream bug number. 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. Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 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. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
