During initial setup of Fedora 43 workstation with gnome, after choosing my timezone via search bar I cannot continue with setuping my system. The app doesn't respond to next/previous buttons. It seems various systems with NVIDIA graphics cards are affected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 43 workstation with Gnome 2. Reboot to finish installation 3. After choosing time zone, initial setup become unresponsive Actual Results: Initial setup become unresponsive, unable to use my system. Expected Results: Finishing initial setup Additional Information: The freeze is only for the initial-setup utility, system is working, I can switch to another tty (with no user created though). My system: Lenovo ThinkPad P1 gen 2 with Intel i7-9850H with dedicated NVIDIA Quadro T1000 Possible workarounds: 1) (Tested by me) Disabling nvidia card in bios, finishing initial setup, enabling again. 2) Reboot to rescue system, restart root password, install nvidia drivers More information: Bug for Fedora 42 [1] Fedora discussion [2] Reddit discussion [3] [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2369620 [2] https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/solved-fedora-43-workstation-fresh-install-freezing-after-clicking-next-on-initial-setup-wizard-right-after-choosing-privacy-options/171583 [3] https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/1olm15n/fedora_43_setup_freezescrashes_at_time_zone_select/
Hi - thanks for the bug report! Looking at the steps o reproduce the issue I think this is actually for the *other* Initial Setup - the GNOME Initial Setup maintained by the Workstation SIG, not the Anaconda based Initial Setup (without GNOME) maintained by me. So reassigning. :)
I saw the same issue. Eventually I managed to get in by frantically clicking next many times. I decided to check dmesg and saw the following which I suspect is relevant: [ 3.011051] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 3.011052] WARNING: CPU: 11 PID: 931 at drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/gsp/rm/r535/gsp.c:773 r535_gsp_acpi_jt+0x12d/0x140 [nouveau] [ 3.011150] Modules linked in: nouveau(+) ucsi_acpi typec_ucsi typec mxm_wmi drm_gpuvm gpu_sched drm_ttm_helper ttm drm_exec i2c_algo_bit drm_display_helper igc polyval_clmulni cec ghash_clmulni_intel nvme_tcp nvme thunderbolt nvme_fabrics vmd intel_vsec video nvme_core wmi nvme_keyring pinctrl_alderlake nvme_auth sunrpc be2iscsi bnx2i cnic uio cxgb4i cxgb4 tls cxgb3i cxgb3 mdio libcxgbi libcxgb qla4xxx iscsi_boot_sysfs iscsi_tcp libiscsi_tcp libiscsi scsi_transport_iscsi i2c_dev fuse nfnetlink [ 3.011168] CPU: 11 UID: 0 PID: 931 Comm: (udev-worker) Not tainted 6.17.1-300.fc43.x86_64 #1 PREEMPT(lazy) [ 3.011169] Hardware name: ASUS System Product Name/ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO, BIOS 3001 04/25/2025 [ 3.011170] RIP: 0010:r535_gsp_acpi_jt+0x12d/0x140 [nouveau] [ 3.011241] Code: 89 4e c7 c5 48 8b 7c 24 10 e8 7f 4e c7 c5 48 8b 44 24 38 65 48 2b 05 ba 2e d0 c8 75 15 48 8d 65 f0 5b 41 5c 5d c3 cc cc cc cc <0f> 0b eb ce 0f 0b eb ca e8 b6 62 a9 c6 66 0f 1f 44 00 00 90 90 90 [ 3.011242] RSP: 0018:ffffcea9c1e5f480 EFLAGS: 00010293 [ 3.011243] RAX: ffff8ddaae609c00 RBX: ffff8dda8393f990 RCX: 0000000000000010 [ 3.011244] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffffff87793470 RDI: 00000000000001bf [ 3.011244] RBP: ffffcea9c1e5f4d8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffffffff86e153c7 [ 3.011245] R10: ffff8ddaae4e3120 R11: fffffbe944b938c0 R12: ffff8ddab5e2013c [ 3.011245] R13: ffff8dda83ea6000 R14: 00000000b290f639 R15: 00000000b290f108 [ 3.011246] FS: 00007ff167fccbc0(0000) GS:ffff8dea75dc7000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 3.011247] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 3.011247] CR2: 00007ff167ea96c1 CR3: 00000001291cb002 CR4: 0000000000f70ef0 [ 3.011248] PKRU: 55555554 [ 3.011248] Call Trace: [ 3.011249] <TASK> [ 3.011250] r570_gsp_set_system_info+0x166/0x1f0 [nouveau] [ 3.011324] r535_gsp_oneinit+0x28c/0x320 [nouveau] [ 3.011392] tu102_gsp_oneinit+0x126/0x430 [nouveau] [ 3.011456] nvkm_subdev_oneinit_+0x40/0x90 [nouveau] [ 3.011514] nvkm_subdev_init_+0x31/0xa0 [nouveau] [ 3.011568] ?
