Description pete johnson 2017-01-12 05:54:37 UTC
Description of problem:
Arbitrarily the screen goes black except for what looks
like a single pixel wide column of "video" at the left most column of the
screen.  This single pixel wide column is not a constant color, but changes so
it appears to shimmer.  About 22 to 25 seconds after this starts the machine
dies.  This has happened at least three times in the last week, most recently at
16:49 yesterday.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Not reproducible.  Happens arbitrarily

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results: Screen goes black except for left most column of pixels, then machine dies.


Expected results: Screen displays what it's supposed to display and doesn't die.

Machine, which is a Lenovo T410s, died twice today.  First time the
far left column of the display did not show a single pixel wide shimmering
column.  After about 20 seconds of black screen the machine died.

Not at all sure wayland or gdm is the problem.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:26:21 UTC
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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:07:15 UTC
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no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further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.
