Description of problem: sometimes my system stalls at boot time Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): any version How reproducible: sometimes... Steps to Reproduce: 1.just fire-up the machine 2. 3. Actual results: only the big blue F on the screen Expected results: normal start-up Additional info: removing rhgb and quiet I get: Started virtualization daemo r8169 (some digits) p2p1: link down IPV6 p2p1 link not ready then it stalls, Ctrl+Alt+Del makes it reboot During the previous session wi-fi card had been shut-down, but I get similar stall also if wifi is enableb
Created attachment 936010 [details] journalctl -b -1 > failed.boot I had to wait for half-an-hour, nothing happened so I issued a Ctrl+alt+del in order to reboot
I logged into the machine by ssh-ing and ps -eaf | grep X root 653 1 0 18:27 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/abrt-watch-log -F Backtrace /var/log/Xorg.0.log -- /usr/bin/abrt-dump-xorg -xD root 1291 1244 0 18:30 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto X if I switch to runlevel 3 I can log in and then issue a startx...I suspect that systemd is not the culprit....maybe plymouth???
I switched to kdm and so far I am not experiencing any stall at boot-time, therefore I changed component from systemd to gdm
kdm is fine, no stall at all at boot-time
using kdm instead of gdm has the drawback that screen power management doesn't work, i.e. after some inactivity screen is blanked in gdm, but not in kdm
I modified the time of scrren blanking in 5 minutes (I had 1 minute) in Setting/power and I am not experiencing such issue since that change (i.e. one week). Can anybody confirm??

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.
