Reference: https://pagure.io/teamsilverblue/issue/37 Description of problem: Running Silverblue 28 on a system with an AMD "Bonaire" GPU. System works in a Wayland GNOME session but when I try to log in as "GNOME on Xorg" the screen flashes and comes back to a login prompt. It turns out X was segfaulting. Installing xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu fixed it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 28 - found on Atomic Workstation / Silverblue How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora Atomic Workstation / Silverblue 28 on my system 2. Try to log in with GNOME on Xorg Actual results: returns to login prompt Expected results: GNOME desktop Additional info:
ajax says this should not need xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu, the 'modesetting' driver (which is part of xorg-x11-server-Xorg) should support these cards. So, re-assigning to xorg-x11-server. ajax believes there's a bug which could explain why this system did not work with the 'modesetting' driver, and has posted a scratch build for Ed to try: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=29620484 to see if that fixes it.
This issue still exists on Silverblue 29 installed from Beta 1.5. I'll try the test package later today.
that test package is for f28 so you might need him to build another one from the f29 branch
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.

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.
