Comment 2 leigh scott 2019-04-10 03:47:42 UTC
Looks more like a X issue, lightdm isn't even mentioned in the meagre backtrace.

Comment 3 leigh scott 2019-04-10 12:19:13 UTC
@Adam W I believe this issue might be a release blocker?

Comment 4 Paul Whalen 2019-04-10 13:08:32 UTC
Shouldnt be a release blocker, this is only happening on the Wandboard.

Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2019-04-10 14:57:11 UTC
Can you get the X logs from anywhere? The backtrace looks like X basically intentionally died on a known error, so that ought to be logged.

Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2019-04-10 14:58:22 UTC
oh, hah.

Looking at the full backtrace not the short one, the error is actually the very same as in the nomodeset UEFI bug:

"Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs        for all framebuffer devices"

Not sure if that means these are the same bug, but...obviously related. That's https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1693409 .

Comment 7 Ben Cotton 2020-04-30 22:13:27 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 30 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 30 on 2020-05-26.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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 '30'.

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 30 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.

Comment 8 Ben Cotton 2020-05-26 14:48:11 UTC
Fedora 30 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-05-26. Fedora 30 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
