Description lnie 2025-08-14 06:13:45 UTC
Perform a default installation with Fedora-Workstation-Live-43-20250812.n.1.x86_64.iso,
reboot the newly installed system, and finish initial-setup steps, you will see the pop up immediately after that. However,it will disappear several seconds later, and you will not see it after reboot

Reproducible: Always

Checked with Fedora-Workstation-Live-43-20250906.n.0.x86_64.iso, still saw the same ugly pop up,gonna to propose as a blocker to get more attention.

Comment 4 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2025-09-08 15:17:07 UTC
Bug reports for this component on Red Hat Bugzilla are not actively monitored. Please consider reporting your issue directly to GNOME at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/ to improve the chances that your issue will be resolved. This issue should only be kept open if it:

1. Relates to Fedora packaging or integration with other Fedora components
2. Is required for Fedora release processes, such as blocker bugs and freeze exceptions

If this issue isn't needed for either of these two reasons, please:

 * create an issue with GNOME
 * add a link to the GNOME issue here
 * close this issue as CLOSED/UPSTREAM

Thank you!

Comment 5 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2025-09-08 15:21:33 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 43-beta by Fedora user lnie using the blocker tracking app because:

 Seems affect https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_43_Beta_Release_Criteria#Desktop_panel, and I guess we should not have Beta released with this ugly bug.

Comment 6 Kamil Páral 2025-09-08 15:35:10 UTC
I believe you can see this in my video in bug 2392391 comment 1 (there's also delay before gnome-initial-setup, but disregard that). I haven't found the Oh No screen to be a functional problem, the standard desktop appears after g-i-s just fine in a few seconds. I also expect this to be resolved by the GNOME 49 Beta/RC update:

Comment 7 Michael Catanzaro 2025-09-08 16:44:31 UTC
This screen normally means gnome-session (or possibly another core desktop component) is crashing. We need a stack trace to debug it.

But it's not worth debugging unless we're sure it's still a problem, so please do not take a stack trace unless the ISO includes the 49.rc megaupdate, which it won't since there is no freeze exception for the megaupdate. Hence, it would be pretty inconvenient for this to be a beta blocker.

Comment 8 Osama Albahrani 2025-09-08 17:42:09 UTC
This seems to be the same as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2379725 - [rawhide] gnome crashes in gnome-initial-setup

One of them should probably be closed as duplicate of the other.

Comment 9 Lukas Ruzicka 2025-09-08 17:45:33 UTC
Discussed at the 2025-09-08 (blocker / freeze exception) review meeting:

This is a direct violation of the final criterion: "There must be no SELinux denial notifications or crash notifications upon booting or during installation from a release-blocking live image, or at the first login after a default installation of a release-blocking desktop."

*** Bug 2379725 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 11 Osama Albahrani 2025-09-08 19:01:23 UTC
This seems to be fixed in GNOME 49.rc (Fedora-Workstation-Live-Rawhide-20250908.n.0.aarch64.iso)
