Created attachment 757625 [details] Send 2 log Xorg.conf. 2 files - on a start in each. Departures are not related and occurred at different times. GF5500 FX graphics card RFRFedora 18 XFCE, Fedora 18 LXDE, like it was with the LiveUSB Ubuntu XFCE. Most likely a problem with the open source driver NVidia, since after installing the proprietary NVidia driver problem immediately disappears. The problem manifests itself as follows: suddenly the picture on the screen "hangs" and the sound goes away (if, for example, played music or show the film), the mouse across the screen at the same time you can push. And after a few seconds the splash screen is thrown lightdm (or other dm) with a proposal to enter username and password (though the auto-login can be registered.) Sometimes it just throws the console prompts you to enter your login and password there. Sometimes throws in the console - and already there hangs permanently. Can fly and just for no apparent reason - when, besides the desktop, there is nothing, and nothing happens. The problem is compounded by the fact that this is beginning to happen at once - at the stage of installing the system after booting from the Live-carrier. As a result, the installation of the system can end at any moment ... Send 2 log Xorg.conf. 2 files - on a start in each. Departures are not related and occurred at different times.
And you wondered, why no X developer took a look at your bug? nvi is certainly not the right component for Xorg bugs.
While at it. If you used a non-packaged version of the driver from the Nvidia website please clean your system from additional libraries and software it installed (if you have packaged version from RPMs on some other repo, just uninstall packages). Some hints about how to do it are at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Xorg/3rd_Party_Video_Drivers Then, when your system is clean again. Please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, reproduce the problem, and attach * your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available), * X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log*; check with grep Backtrace /var/log/Xorg* which logs might be the most interesting ones, send us at least Xorg.0.log) * output of the dmesg command, and * system log (/var/log/messages) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
