Description of problem: I updated my Fedora 27 desktop via the dnf upgrade path. It downloaded all the needed packages, and got update. When I tried to login (GNOME Xorg), it kept logging me out without even showing the desktop. Tried GNOME Classic and GNOME and all failed. Both LXDE, Openbox work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 28 updated via: "dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=28" How reproducible: Not sure about this. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Not sure 2. 3. Actual results: I should have been able to log in via GNOME but no. Expected results: Crashed out without seeing the GNOME desktop Additional info: Right now, logged in via LXDE.
Solved as per this tweet by William Henry: https://twitter.com/ipbabble/status/993228035368235008 essentially, to remove/move .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions Once that was done, I could log in.
Just an update to this. I had two GNOME extensions installed: Show IP and Internet Radio. After removing both as per earlier comment, I then tested by adding them one by one. Internet Radio worked OK. Adding Show IP immediately crashed GNOME and I could not log back in. Had to remove the extensions and things were back to normal.
