Created attachment 502949 [details] Logfiles (Xorg), dmesg, lspci, dmidecode and procinfo/meminfo contents. Description of problem: On default install the nouveau drivers don't work with gnome3, so I upgraded to the nvidia proprietary drivers using rpmfusion packages. After confirming that the rdblacklist=nouveau option was added to grub.conf, I rebooted the system. Everything came up fine, but when I logged in to the graphical login, I get the black screen with "Oh no! Something has gone wrong." message. Tailing the syslog, I see a bunch of messages like: Jun 3 23:41:03 hotel gnome-session[1906]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal Jun 3 23:41:03 hotel kernel: [ 248.437620] gnome-shell[2157]: segfault at 5 ip 000000330a437fb9 sp 00007fff0fbf2d10 error 4 in libcairo.so.2.11000.2[330a400000+a6000] Jun 3 23:41:03 hotel abrt[2164]: not dumping repeating crash in '/usr/bin/gnome-shell' Jun 3 23:41:03 hotel gnome-session[1906]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal Jun 3 23:41:03 hotel gnome-session[1906]: WARNING: App 'gnome-shell.desktop' respawning too quickly Jun 3 23:41:03 hotel abrtd: Dump directory is a duplicate of /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2011-06-03-23:09:19-2052 Jun 3 23:41:03 hotel abrtd: Deleting dump directory ccpp-2011-06-03-23:41:02-2072 (dup of ccpp-2011-06-03-23:09:19-2052), sending dbus signal Hardware is as follows: Asus M3A78-T, with AMD Phenom 9750 Quad-Core, 4GB RAM, EVGA GTS450 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every single time Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Any thoughts? It's pretty frustrating to have to run the XFCE version.
how to switch to the XFCE version though? Gnome-hell does not allow me to select my session :-/
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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
