I'd had a coredump there, if that helps.
Great, that is seems to be just me. I've found some backtrace: Gtk.py:1624:<module>:RuntimeError: Gtk couldn't be initialized Traceback (most recent call last): File "/bin/firewall-config", line 22, in <module> from gi.repository import Gtk, GObject File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/importer.py", line 76, in load_mod ule dynamic_module._load() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/module.py", line 244, in _load overrides_modules = __import__('gi.overrides', fromlist=[self._namespace]) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/overrides/Gtk.py", line 1624, in < module> raise RuntimeError("Gtk couldn't be initialized") RuntimeError: Gtk couldn't be initialized Local variables in innermost frame: Box: None _callable: None Container: None LinkButton: None SizeGroup: None HScrollbar: None When using gdm as login manager, the system works as expected.
any abrt report and/or backtrace could help...
core dump: http://www.matthias-runge.de/fedora/coredump pyhook dir from abrt: http://www.matthias-runge.de/fedora/pyhook.tar.gz
That looks more like a crash report for firewall-config, not lightdm. ??
I'm very sorry, I must have mixed that up. That dir containing the coredump etc. is here: http://www.matthias-runge.de/fedora/ccpp.tar.gz cat cmdline /usr/sbin/lightdm-gtk-greeter cat package lightdm-gtk-1.3.1-1.fc18
I could this error reproduce in a kvm virtual machine, but not on real hardware.
Since I even can not reproduce this error in a freshly created vm, I'm closing this bug as notabug. Thanks
I could narrow this crash to this update. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-16107/xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.0-1.fc18 Downgrading to an earlier version fixed the issue.
