a similar bug on windows 10, VMware workstation Version: 11.1.2 build-2780323
Issue is not reproducible if you update Fedora 24 to 25 rawhide. In my case Fedora has been hosted on virtual machine (VM Workstation Player(V12.1.0 build-3272444)) on Windows 7.
Same here, but I can't switch to another tty. I am using OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.2 and Oracle VirtualBox Version 5.0.20 r106931.
I had the same/similar issue with a nightly (about a week ago) although it manifested a bit differently: The system was stuck on the systemd boot messages (last message about starting gdm or switching root); I could switch to a tty after some fiddling but every few seconds the boot messages would flash through the screen making interaction hard. Disabling wayland in /etc/gdm/custom.conf works around it.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '25'. 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 25 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 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
