Confirmed here. It seems linked to https://github.com/GNOME/mutter/commit/ab5ac21104fb191a30c9c78fee5bd28e1f4cf06f . I would bet on a mismatch between gnome packages versions in F28. I’ve seen that there are still some 3.26 packages during update, whereas some other are 3.27.x. HTH.
Same issue for me.
Live ISO Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-28-20180221.n.0.iso also suffers from this issue.
Adding myself to CC. For me latest gnome-shell from koji ( https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1048592 ) works gnome-shell-3.27.91-2.fc28
Indeed, now everything is fine with latest gnome-shell. The point now is mouse cursor is moving fine, but clicks have no effect at all.
original mouse is ps2, tested with an usb one, same symptoms, right, left, middle click does not do anything. scroll whell does not work either. Things were fine in F27 (mouse configured as left handed). Anyone having the same problem ? Should I open another bug ?
The mouse issue is already known: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1547691
sorry for the noise, did not search, navigation is a bit painful with a keyboard only :) thx for the pointer !
I confirm that this issue is fixed in Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-28-20180301.n.0.iso
(In reply to Mirek Svoboda from comment #11) > I confirm that this issue is fixed in > Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-28-20180301.n.0.iso I am presently experiencing the same issue and it is June 23, 2018 after upgrading from Fedora 27 to Fedora 28 desktop on Dell Inspiron E1505 32bit laptop. I tried the following: Booted into single user mode Looked at the journalctl file and noticed the following NX(Execute Disable) protection cannot be enabled: non-PAE kernel random: fast init done systemd-modules failed to find module "vxboxdrv; vboxnetflt; vboxnetadp; vboxpci failed to start switch root failed to start load kernel modules tried mount -o remount,rw/systroot rm -rf /sysroot/etc/os-release cp /usr/lib/os-release /sysroot/etc exit hard reboot Now it hangs at: Started Gnome display manager. dispatcher service . . . . ges.e.ansactions. . .
I recently ugraded one of my machines from F27 --> F28. The machine is a thinkpad W541. The system seems to be suffering from the same problem. For an existing user, Gnome does not even start at all (even after removing all things in $HOME/.config and $HOME/.local I could spot, but no success. I see several crashes, Errors and "Unrecoverable failure" messages for gnome-shell in the journal. For a new user i created as a test, Gnome starts up, but I still see stack traces and errors in the log (not the "Unrecoverable failure though"). But the gnome session does not work fully, for instance the gnome terminal does not come up. I start it, see a spinning wheel for a few seconds, and then nothing. So for me, this bug is not fixed. ==> hope it is correct to reopen the bug. Pleas let me know if this is not correct.
@Michael Adam As I cannot see any logs attached nor package versions, it is hard to tell whether your report relates to the same bug which I reported. I believe the bug I have originally reported is successfully solved, therefore closing this bug report again.
