Description of problem: On my installation of Fedora 24 with NVIDIA binary drivers 367.27, some (random?) time after logging into GNOME session, the display gets switched back to TTY1, and I am faced with the console where the login screen used to be. Ctrl+Alt+2 brings the session back and I can resume whatever I was doing. Wayland is disabled in GDM (i.e., I have uncommented the line WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm/custom.conf). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-3.20.2-1 nvidia-driver-367.27-2 (from negativo17 repository) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. log in 2. wait some time / do something 3. display gets switched back to TTY1, where login screen used to be (4. switch back to TTY2 and continue working) Additional info: Dmesg indicates a crash in gnome-shell: [ 331.438862] traps: gnome-shell[1373] trap int3 ip:7ff38bae919b sp:7ffd5ffaca90 error:0 It seems that the same issue has come up in Arch linux: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=211100 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/48772 Applying their patch to gnome-shell fixes the issue for me: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/0001-Initialize-framebuffer-objects-early-so-clutter-will.patch?h=packages/gnome-shell

I, like you and others, have the problem too on Fedora 24 up to date. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1764275 http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1764805 Can the fix be included in Fedora 24 Gnome please ? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1350184 https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/5226d8b0864fa894f180b8584e837aaf565578b2 Thanks !
Oops I wanted to link this https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764898 instead of this bug report. As you can see there the fix should have already be included in Gnome-Shell 3.20. The Fedora 24 version of Gnome-Shell seem to be too old.
It seem that there will be a stable Gnome-Shell, Mutter release today or tomorrow with the fix ! https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764898#c8
KDE5 crashes *without* nvidia drivers. It's a bit impractical on shared desktops as some users prefer KDE5 and others GNOME.

*** Bug 1342739 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '24'. 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 24 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.
