Created attachment 1427630 [details] gnome-shell log Description of problem: I'm not at all sure that gnome-shell is the correct component for this - the fault may be in gdm for deciding to use wayland instead of X on this machine so please feel free to move this if necessary. The machine where I encountered this has always fallen back to X rather than using wayland, I think because two of three monitors are rotated. In F28 it seems that it now thinks wayland is OK though, and it tries to use it. It doesn't work though - the fonts in the login dialogue are corrupt and, more importantly, gnome-shell crashes with an assertion in cogl are apparently failing to allocate some textures. A full log of the gnome-shell session from the journal is attached. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-3.28.1-2.fc28.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to login. 2. The shell crashes.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '28'. 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 28 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.
