Description of problem: Downloaded from http://gnome3.org/tryit.html , and installed on usb stick fails to run. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download iso image and install on usb stick (follow instructions). 2. Run computer from usb stick. 3. See only wallpaper, restart X. Actual results: It crashes and is not usable (photo). Expected results: It should work correctly. Additional info: I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on machine (without ati drivers), everything works fine.

Also, if the anaconda crashes during the switching to the graphic mode, most likely the problem lies in Xorg support for your graphics chip. There are couple of options how we can obtain information necessary for resolving the issue. If the computer is not completely frozen when installation fails, switch to the console (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and copy /tmp/X* and /var/log/anaconda.xlog to some other place -- USB stick, some other computer via network, somewhere on the Internet, and please attach it to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above. If the computer is completely useless after installation fails, you can also install Fedora with a VESA mode driver (see http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Installation_Guide/ for more information on that). Then after successful installation you can collect /var/log/anaconda.xlog, /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and the output of the program dmesg instead. Or you can install Fedora in a text mode completely, and then start X after that. If it fails, still /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of dmesg program from the failed attempt to start X would be useful. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thank you very much in advance.
I asked the reporter to file the bug in this form, and think it's useful to track in this form - we know the hardware, we know the failure mode. It's not like the Xorg.log is going to contain information about *why* things are locking up once we try to use 3D.

Today I tried one more time - version from 2011-04-05. When i enter basic video mode the login screen is "blinking" - looks like it try to log me in and in a sec it log me out. When i enter normal mode I am able to log in (automatic login). Later i see wallpaper after few seconds i see black screen. It repeat few times and sometimes it shows some random images before reboot (like file manager etc) and sometimes it shows me only wallpaper and i can't do anything. When I entered console i saw message: "[83.689032] radeon 0000:02:00,0: GPU lockup CP stall for more than 10040msec " From files you are asking for i found only /var/log/Xorg.0.log (did not install on hard disk, just usb stick). On Fedora 14 everything works fine (just installed it). Hope this will help you somehow.

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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 to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
