Description of problem: The Wayland session totally freeze after a few minutes of use. A hard reboot is then required. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Stock Wayland, Fedora 25. How reproducible: So far I can reproduce after any session. I could never get a Wayland session to survive more than 5 minutes. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a Gnome session (Wayland) 2. Do some normal work or just wait doing nothing 3. The mouse cursor will freeze after a while. Actual results: Total session freeze. Even VTY cannot be opened. No error found in dmesg or journalctl.
I've been seeing the same thing. Looking through journalctl after reboot I don't see anything obvious. Rebooting into using X11 and everything is fine. I'm in Wayland now and waiting on it to freeze. I have a journalctl -f running to see what is the last thing that happens when it does. I will update this if I see that it continues to stay working today. So far so good - I'm surprised 'cause non of my updates seem related.
I have done the "journalctl -f", nothing occurs in my case.
FYI I have not had a crash today. I'm not sure what package may have changed to fix this problem. I had performed a dnf update late last week but hadn't seen any change. I also performed one today. (6 packages were upgraded) I will update if I have further problems.
Just happened when I started XChat. Nothing suspicious looking in journalctl.
Related? BZ 1397471?
No, I deactivated easyscreencast, applied all updates and it still hangs. Not sure but it seems that displaying a contextual menu (right click) helps triggering the bug. I could reproduce it several times with Firefox.
Ok, I could more or less isolate the problem for my case. In a single or dual monitor setting, the session is perfectly stable. But it freezes immediately or within minutes whenever I plug in a third screen. Both external screen of my T460 laptop are connected in HDMI: - monitor 1 is plugged directly on the HDMI port - monitor 2 is connected to the Display port through an adapter. I am still seeing nothing in the logs. Should I close this bug report and re-open a new one with these more specific information?

For some reason, the last kernel update is more verbose. I finally get an error when it freezes : déc. 09 18:34:48 localhost.localdomain kernel: [drm:intel_pipe_update_end [i915]] *ERROR* Atomic update failure on pipe A (start=29311 end=29312) time 162 us, min 1043, max 1049, scanline start 1040, end 1051
I am going to close my monologue even if nobody gives it a shit. Yesterday's kernel update (4.8.12-300) apparently fixed the issue. I have been using Wayland for almost two day with no crash.
