Description Dick Gevers 2013-05-11 22:14:16 CEST

Description of problem:

This is for today's prerelease iso of Mageia3 Final.

Running live Mode and after finishing install from Mageia-3-LiveCD-GNOME-en-i586-CD one is thrown out of the desktop and has to login once again in many unexpected situations:

For example:
* system settings --> close  it 
* sound settings --> close it
* network settings -->  close it
* universal access settings --> close it

In my judegement this should be a release blocker for the gnome isos, but it is for bugsquad to say so.

Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:

how do you close the windows ? I can't reproduce in my vm (with c

Comment 2 Manuel Hiebel 2013-05-11 22:29:00 CEST

oups
with crtl+f4 or the X of the windows.

Comment 3 Dick Gevers 2013-05-11 22:52:38 CEST

I only tried X in the upper right hand corner.

Difference is it was running on real hardware.

But reproducible in the sense that it was there 1) during Live mode and 2) after finishing install and reboot.

And I do not see the same with 64 bits Live DVD Gnome

Comment 5 Dick Gevers 2013-05-18 06:44:18 CEST

Valid for 18th May LiveCD Gnome i586 on real hw

Comment 6 Dick Gevers 2013-05-18 07:24:26 CEST

If I use the same prerelease iso with kernel option xdriver=vesa, all the stuff in the GNOME panel at the top wont work. So there's nothing I can start which might kick me out of live, but there is no power off and no terminal desktop icon either.

Do you get any error in logs about some program crashing ?

check journalctl -b and xsession-errors

does it stop crashing if you enable sna in xorg.conf ?

Section "Device"
        Identifier "intel"
        Driver "intel"
        Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
