Can you be more specific about what happens? Does it look like you're even getting logged out? Does it drop you to a tty or the Fedora logo boot screen? When you say "lock-up", does that mean that the mouse stops moving? Ctrl+Alt+F2 doesn't work to get you to a tty? Or just that the UI is still fully present, but dimmed out and non-responsive?

Comment 2 Dan Beard 2011-03-29 21:08:06 UTC
After [ALT]+"Power off" from menu:

A dialog pops up asking if you want to shut down.  Clicking the OK button is immediately followed by a slight darkening of the screen, mouse can be moved, but nothing will activate from the top panel.   It just sits there until I either hard power button it off, or [ctrl]+[alt]+[del] or [ctrl]+[alt]+[bkspc].  The latter will then bring GDM up and I can power off via the panel icon.

Does that explain it well enough for what you need?

Comment 3 Dan Winship 2011-03-29 21:24:12 UTC
ah, good. that was a mismatch between gnome-shell and gnome-session packages. It's fixed if you have version 2.91.93 (or later) of each

Comment 4 Dan Beard 2011-03-29 21:30:37 UTC
Not so much.   The system is showing as fully updated ... but the problem persists.

Comment 5 Dan Beard 2011-03-29 21:39:17 UTC
Ayup.   Currently shows fully updated ... but ... 

gnome-shell-2.91.92-3.fc15
gnome-session-2.91.91-3.fc15

Comment 6 Dan Beard 2011-03-29 22:56:42 UTC
I assume that grabbing the latest builds off koji and installing them will clear this up?

Comment 7 Dan Winship 2011-03-30 13:45:23 UTC
ah, sorry, it's in updates-testing, but not updates. I didn't realize that I was pulling from updates-testing.

Comment 8 Dan Beard 2011-03-30 17:29:29 UTC
Ok.   Packagekit didn't have a clue, but Yumex located the updates this morning ... and I ran them ... but ...

(On a lighter note, in the interest of your continued sanity ... it may not be a good plan to post and admit being a developer in the thread.   If you do, They'll likely be on you like a duck on a junebug.  :-D  )

I finally got back into the GUI with multiple X-kills and it's running fairly stable now, but rebooting starts the whole mess over again.   Where can I look for the information you'll need to iron it all out?

Might as well close this one.   Updates fixed it.

I am not sure of that... I am fully updated and just started receiving this today.  It may not be the same, if not let me know and I will start a new bug..

I installed compiz-gnome in preparation for updating to the kmod nvidia update method

Now, anytime I try to shut down, it just goes to the logon screen.. And if I press the power button one time, it goes into hibernation

I have to ctrl + alt + 2 to a root login to shutdown or shutdown -r

Comment 11 VastOne 2011-04-14 02:56:45 UTC
For my comments above, this only started happening after I installed compiz-gnome

I have another F15 install that does not have it and it is up to date and does Not have this issue

Comment 12 VastOne 2011-04-14 05:03:59 UTC
Additional Info, on the 2nd up to date F15 I am also having the same issues..  So whatever was pushed today in updates is the culprit

Comment 13 Brian Millett 2011-04-26 13:00:56 UTC
ditto
