I am experiencing the same symptoms as John Ellson when running inside a virtual machine. My host driver is the ati driver and my client driver is the qxl driver. When I change the client driver to cirrus, the gui is successfully started.
Wonderful. That worked for me too. Thanks! So perhaps the bug is just in the QNX driver?
s/QNX/QXL/. probably related to the latest api changes. I'll try to reproduce. Thanks for the report. Alon
This is still affecting current Fedora 18, no F18 image we've built boots in a KVM with the qxl driver. I can confirm the "Xorg: privates.c:560: dixPrivatesSize: Assertion `!screen_specific_private[type]' failed." message seems to be the key error. Moving to proposed Beta blocker - virt functionality is supposed to be in place for Beta: "The release must be able host virtual guest instances of the same release, using Fedora's current preferred virtualization technology" "The release must install and boot successfully as a virtual guest in a situation where the virtual host is running the previous stable Fedora release, using Fedora's current preferred virtualization technology"
Created attachment 605164 [details] suggested fix 1
Could somebody try the attachment? I've added the only patch in my local tree that has something to do with the latest api changes. Attached the srpm.

xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.22-4.20120718gitde6620788.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.22-4.20120718gitde6620788.fc18
buildID=350106 from koji at least brings up the gdm login screen. Unfortunately, can't test any further as gnome seems to be borked again. Thanks for the update.
Not working for me, but it may be a different problem now. When I boot into run-level-5, I see the busy-mouse-pointer but then nothing happens. (I didn't get the gdm screen that John Himpel reports.) When I boot at run-level-3, log in, and type "startx", I get a gnome complaint "Oh no! Something has gone wrong."

Re Comment #17 Sorry, I'm not that fast - real job intervened ... also, although I can use gdb on simple programs, I don't know how to run X under gdb?
(In reply to comment #19) > Re Comment #17 > > Sorry, I'm not that fast - real job intervened ... also, although I can use > gdb on simple programs, I don't know how to run X under gdb? Something should be here: http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/ServerDebugging but I cannot load that page, now.
I couldn't get gdm to run - I get a black screen with the icon revolving. Tried running gnome-session directly, it hangs. Tried running gnome-shell directly, it segfaults but not X related. So in short, I couldn't get X or qxl_driver.so to segfault yet. To produce a better backtrace you just need to install the debuginfo and reproduce the crash, no need for gdb. debuginfo-install xorg-x11-drv-qxl -y <reproduce crash> Alon
I can't recreate the segfailt either. I see the same on a normal run-level-5 start: a black screen with the icon revolving. If I start at run-level-3, then use "startx" as a regular user, I eventually get the useless Gnome message: "Oh no! Something has gone wrong." I was running "tail -f Xorg.0.log" at the time and I noticed that the messages: [ 938.000] qxl_surface_create: Bad bpp: 1 (1) [ 938.001] qxl_surface_create: Bad bpp: 1 (1) [ 957.789] qxl_surface_create: Bad bpp: 1 (1) occurred simultanously with the useless Gnome message. My guess is that the qxl_driver is probably OK now and we're hitting Gnome bugs, but I can't prove that. Should I try downgrading GDM ? Anyone know of one that works?
Oh interesting! I still had the tail -f running, and just after I finished my last reply I got the segfault: [ 905.746] (II) VMWARE(0): VMMOUSE DEVICE_ON [ 905.746] (II) VMWARE(0): vmmouse enabled [ 905.747] (II) config/udev: Adding input device ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse (/dev/input/mouse0) [ 905.747] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.

How to recreate: - boot to run-level 3 - login as regular user on console - ssh in as as root from another machine - enter "startx" on console - in ssh session, enter: tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log - don't touch anything and wait around 600 seconds (~10 min)

SIGPIPE is a normal signal gdb should probably be told not to stop for. You can do that with (gdb) handle SIGPIPE nostop pass (after attaching before continuing) though, you probably will also need to do startx -- -dumbSched instead of just startx , since X's scheduling mechanism also interferes with gdb.

Better. No crash after 10min. Still no GDM login - just a black screen with rotating mouse pointer. No luck with cirrus driver either... Bug #851854 I was able to use qxl driver, start in runlevel-3, switchdesk XFCE, and startx to get an XFCE desktop. However, logout didn't get me back to the shell prompt. Is there a gdm or gnome bug that you know of already that this should be cross-referenced too?
xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.22-5.20120718gitde6620788.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.22-5.20120718gitde6620788.fc18
John, Thanks for testing. I'm pushing an update based on your input: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.22-5.20120718gitde6620788.fc18 Please karma it so it gets pushed. I've installed F18 on a non virtual machine and seems gdm is broken there too (surprise), so far I'm running it from console (just "gdm") and then it works fine. Didn't touch it after that :) No idea about a bug. But it doesn't sound like it's related to qxl at all, so I'm going to chase other fish. Alon
Package xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.22-5.20120718gitde6620788.fc18: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 18 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.22-5.20120718gitde6620788.fc18' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-12739/xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.22-5.20120718gitde6620788.fc18 then log in and leave karma (feedback).
BTW. The "stuck black screen with rotating mouse icon" problem was Bug #841451. The quick fix was: "yum reinstall polkit" The bug apparently only affects systems yum updated from fc17, not new fc18 installs. Now I have GDM is running on the PXE driver just fine. :-)
Grrr.. s/PXE/QXL/ sorry for my typonese.
Nominating as Alpha NTH, it'd be good to get the fix in Alpha so we can easily install it in VMs with the best driver (qxl).
Damn, my NTH nomination somehow failed. Re-nominating. Confirming the fix with the above update. I built a custom F18 live image with it included, and it boots happily to gdm and then Shell with qxl. Nice.
+1 NTH - a lot of early testing is done in VMs
Discussed at 2012-09-05 NTH review meeting. Accepted as NTH, per discussion above (importance of VM functionality).
xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.22-5.20120718gitde6620788.fc18 has been pushed to the Fedora 18 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
