Created attachment 1166193 [details] Possible journalctl entries of crash Description of problem: After starting a new Gnome session, ~ 5 minutes later the session crashes and the TTY appears. The Gnome session itself is still running and one could switch back to it by Alt-F2. After restarting Gnome (Alt-F2 -> “r”) everything’s back to normal and the crash does not appear again. So perhaps only new sessions are affected. Bug might be already fixed upstream. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764898 According to the above mentioned bug report, only Hardware with Nvidia Graphics controller + nvidia kernel modules are affected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.20.2 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a new Gnome session. 2. Wait for some minutes. Actual results: Session crashes and TTY is shown. Expected results: Gnome session stays up and running. Additional info: Fedora 24 beta Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti Kmod nvidia version 358.16 Kernel version 4.5.5-300.fc24.x86_64 The crash did not appear under Fedora 23.

I am seeing this behavior as well. Fedora 24 Graphics Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti Driver 367.27-2.fc24 Kernel 4.5.7-300.fc24 gnome-shell 3.20.2-1.fc24
Experiencing the same problem. After 5 minutes the desktop disappears and TTY is showing. Alt-F2 does restore the desktop but I have to refresh the background most of the time because it is distorted. I enclose the journalctl output of the sec the desktop fails. Looks like nVidia problem to me. Fedora 24 Graphics: GeForce GTX 960/PCIe/SSE2 NVidia: version 367.27 (buildmeister@swio-display-x64-rhel04-12) Kernel: 4.5.7-300.fc24.x86_64 Gnome: Version 3.20.2
