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.

This bug has been created based on an anonymous crash report requested by the package maintainer.

Report URL: https://faf.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com/faf/reports/bthash/c2fa4c4061319e31fb9806a9cb3b81988f2644b1/

seems to be ppc64 and ppc64le only

So this crash is the result of the X server failing to start, or perhaps it getting killed shortly after starting. something like that.

It results in gnome-shell accel helper failing to connect to the display, and handling that failure poorly.

This commit should make error recovery more graceful:

         if (!g_option_context_parse (context, &argc, &argv, &error)) {
-                g_error ("Can't parse command line: %s\n", error->message);
+                g_debug ("%s\n", error->message);
                 g_error_free (error);
                 goto out;
         }

vbenes does it happen every login, or was this just something you noticed in the faf reports ?

If so, there could be an X server issue that needs addressing as well.

i think this is too late for GA, but i guess we can do it as a 0day
