Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version:	gdm-3.22.3-12.el7	Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Previously, due to a race condition in logout handling, the GNOME Display Manager (GDM) in some cases started one X server while another was shutting down. Consequently, the second X server failed to start. With this update, GDM waits for the first X server to fully quit before GDM starts the second X server, which prevents the described problem from occurring.	Story Points:	---

Joseph, did you mean to switch this from VERIFIED to ON_QA?

Comment 7 Joseph Kachuck 2017-07-18 17:26:39 UTC

Hello Michael,
No would you be able to switch it to verified?

Thank You
Joe Kachuck

Not a problem. I assumed it was a mid air collision based on the time stamps.
