Created attachment 919236 [details] /etc/X11/xorg.conf/10-HSD3e9_monitor.conf (effects same whether or not this is present) First two apologies: this looks a lot like #955779, but there are some differences, and given the problem with too many different issues being reported under 955779, I'm reporting it separately here. Sorry if I'm wrong in this. Second, it's only my guess that lxdm is the relevant component - please re-allocate if I've guessed wrong. Description of problem: Logging in from the console greeter, the primary desktop generally fails to start, showing only wallpaper and a cursor. This applies to all desktops used (classic, lxde, openbox), but testing has mostly been done with lxde. In case it's relevant, logging in remotely over nx works reliably, at least with lxde. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.4.1-6.fc20 (if lxdm is the culprit). How reproducible: About 90% reproducible if I stay with lxde in the greeter (i.e. something around 10% of logins work). When it does work, the desktop appears quickly - otherwise it doesn't appear even after 24 hours. These characteristics seem to be different from 955779. Also, I don't see any obvious crash logs (but not sure where to look). If I switch between sessions (i.e. lxde, classic, openbox) the success rate seems a bit higher, maybe one in four. I don't even try gnome3, as I assume that would only complicate matters. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select classic, lxde or openbox 2. Log in via console greeter Actual results: Wallpaper and cursor appear, nothing else Expected results: Desktop appears Additional info: Initially, I guessed that this was a problem of screen resolution (this is a very basic notebook, 1024x600 resolution) and that the desktop was being created, just not on the physical screen area. But the problem occurs whether I use the attached monitor.conf or not. I haven't been able to find any hints of problems in the logs (but this may be just my not knowing where to look). I'm happy to supply anything requested. journalctl output shows a full session, from boot, including an attempt to login via the console, then about a minute later a login via ssh (which is how I got the various logs) - with a few names changed to protect the guilty. This machine was initially installed at about fedora 12, and has been updated via preupgrade and fedup since. It is fully yum updated to 2014/07/19, nothing problematic showing under either package-cleanup or rpmconf (well, there are a few orphans showing up, that none that look relevant - will clean them up now and report if it fixes anything).

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. 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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 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 this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 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.
