(In reply to comment #1) > NVidia driver bug. See the original report and its several duplicates for > details. > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 751891 *** Hi Kevin, I'm sorry so much for disapointing you, but your quick diagnostic it seems not to be the solution, because: 1.- I was not using the proprietary driver 2.- Now I have installed, and throubleshooted, the proprietary nvidia driver to make it work, but the problem persists and I'm only able to work with GNOME. $ rpm -qa |grep nvidia akmod-nvidia-295.59-1.fc16.x86_64 nvidia-settings-1.0-17.fc16.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-295.59-1.fc16.x86_64 nvidia-xconfig-1.0-15.fc16.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-295.59-1.fc16.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-3.4.2-1.fc16.x86_64-295.59-1.fc16.x86_64 If I've installed the proprietary driver is because several years ago KDE didn't work with the free one... but after several months I was forced again to use the free driver, due to the continuous and serious problems with the proprietary one. I like Red Hat/Fedora, I've been using it since 90's. But I like much more KDE...

I forgot to mention that I've uninstalled KDE prior to install the proprietary driver and I've reinstalled it after the "fixed" proprietary driver works...
If you had the proprietary driver (in particular, its libGL) installed, even if you were not actually running the kernel space parts, that's enough to trigger the bug. I need a full backtrace to be 100% sure, but the crash being in ld.so, I strongly suspect that it really is bug #751891. You should try to uninstall the proprietary driver COMPLETELY, in particular, to make sure you are using the stock Fedora version of libGL.
OK, I'll try to remove the proprietary driver and install again the nouveau driver. Tell me what kind of debug you need and I'll try to answer in a couple of days... I've spent so much time with this issue and I have a lot of work to do. Regards
We would need a backtrace (with debuginfo), whether than be from a manual gdb, abrt, or drkonqi doesn't matter.

Hi again, I've made a backtrace of ksmserver with proprietary driver installed, then I've deinstalled it and installed nouveau driver and made again the backtrace after rebooting.

missing debuginfo. And, are you *sure* no nvidia libGL library is present on your system? Either way, workarounds for the issue include: 1. re-rerun /etc/cron.daily/prelink after installing nvidia libGL 2. disable prelink (set PRELINKING=no in /etc/sysconfig/prelink), and rerun /etc/cron.daily/prelink
In any case, your backtraces match bug #751891. When uninstalling the NVidia driver, you need to completely remove all *nvidia* packages, including and especially nvidia-libGL. If you ever ran the installation script from the upstream NVidia web page, removing packages might not be enough, try their uninstaller script or just reinstall Fedora entirely.
Hi, Thank you for your support. After trying to uninstall driver without success,finally I've decided to upgrade to Fedora 17... to be caught by other bug related to dracut. I'm begining to suspect that the latests updates and the upgrade to Fedora 17 are more buggy than previous ones :( ... in the other hand, it is an opportunity to learn the new components of the system ;) Regards Juan *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 751891 ***
