Created attachment 944642 [details] lightdm.log.old Description of problem: After doing a yum upgrade on my rawhide system yesterday, and rebooting, I could no longer log into a desktop. The login screen comes up, I enter correct password, and it acts like it is handing off to a desktop environment, but then comes back to login screen. Tried multiple desktops (xfce, mate, lxde), and none of them allowed logins. With lxde, a startx worked. With the other desktops (removed lxde), would get the same results, would start to load, then go back to command prompt. A yum downgrade on lightdm and lightdm-gobject (to 1.10.1-5.fc21) restored access. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.10.2-1.fc21 How reproducible: I did a yum upgrade again this morning, and got same results. I could not find any errors in Xorg.log or in /var/log/messages. Nothing in ~/.xsession-errors (0 length file). Attached /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log.old (failed attempt) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade lightdm and lightdm-gobject to 1.10.2-1.fc21 2. Reboot system 3. Attempt to log into desktop environmnet Actual results: Login screen disappears, can briefly see CLI, then login screen re-appears. Never ending cycle. Expected results: Expected to go into desktop environment. Additional info:
