Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.24.2-1.fc26.x86_64
libxkbcommon-x11-0.7.1-3.fc26.x86_64
libxkbcommon-0.7.1-3.fc26.x86_64


How reproducible:

Tries twice, recreatable easily and straight fail.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora26 Beta workstation.  Install complete, reboot to GUI desktop.

2. Update system using GUI or dnf upgrade.  Around 768 packages are updated including mesa libraries.  After the update, rebooting the system fails to bringup gnome-desktop.

3. ssh from another system or use local console (ctrl-alt-f2) to login and get dmesg or journalctl.

Disabled selinux and still same result.

Actual results:

No desktop after dnf upgrade of Fedora26.

Expected results:

GUI gnome desktop after upgrade similar to right after install.

Additional info:

This seem to be a combination of package or package update causing this issue.  Kindly check and update the Fedora26 repo to contain correct versions of package.

Comment 1 S.Vaidyanathan 2017-06-21 14:11:09 UTC
Issue continues even after update to mesa libs that was pushed today. (21 June). gdm segfaults and hence no gui desktop.

-- Subject: Process 6144 (gnome-shell) dumped core


Problem continues even after update in mutter today:
mutter-3.24.3-1.fc26.x86_64

This happens only on wayland and not X11.
File: /etc/gdm/custom.conf
# Uncoment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false

The above workaround makes gnome-shell load and X11 desktop works fine.

Comment 3 Nick Lee 2018-04-20 06:22:13 UTC
Same on two different computers with f28 x86_64

Comment 4 Yann Soubeyrand 2018-04-27 11:04:18 UTC
Upstream report here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/76.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:12:40 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '26'.

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 26 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.

The problem still exists. It took me ten tries today to log in.

Comment 7 Yann Soubeyrand 2018-05-27 20:02:29 UTC
As a workaround, switching back to Xorg sessions seems to fix the problem.

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:32:54 UTC
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
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.
