Description of problem: Fedora Rawhide Live Image failed to autologin and provide a desktop. I used the image - http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/desktop-x86_64-20110117.16.iso. I could switch to text console (control+alt+F2) and get a shell. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Rawhide. gdm version - 2.94.1 Release:1.fc15 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: Boot into the Live Image from the link mentioned in description. Actual results: Live Image fails to give a desktop. Expected results:Live Image should give a desktop. Additional info:
This issue impacts the Network Device Naming Fedora Test day scheduled to be held on 27th of this month - https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/159
Confirmed this behavior. It seems gdm keeps failing to present the greeter. Manual workaround is to boot (or change to) runlevel 3, login as 'liveuser' and start the desktop manually (`startx`). I'm attaching /var/log/messages which shows gdm troubles. The highlight is shown below ...

Created attachment 474261 [details] /var/log/messages
Created attachment 474264 [details] /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log Attaching gdm :0-greeter.log which is a bit less noisy
Created attachment 474309 [details] /var/log/:0-greeter.log Replacing /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log with a new version with appropriate debuginfo packages installed. The backtrace should be more usable now.
The reported problem is resolved by the latest gdm in rawhide (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=215039).
I booted into the Live image 20110123. The autologin succeeded and desktop is seen. But there is one issue that i observed, when the System Tools -> Terminal is clicked, it does not succeed in giving a shell. Is this related or i should file a new bug ?
I had to switch to the text console (control+alt+F2) to get a shell.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. 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 19 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.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 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.
