Description Len Lawrence 2017-03-04 17:39:38 CET

Description of problem:

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Cauldron from the new classic iso (2017-02-28)

3.

Various hacks have been added for GNOME classic session script. Breakage is not unexpected. The rest should work though. Some logs would be helpful.

boot log and dmesg files from GNOMEonXorg login

GNOME installation.  Hoping that the logs contain information on why the GNOME Wayland and GNOME Classic logins failed; dmesg and boot journal.

Sorry, typo in dmesg name.  Here it is.

Comment 4 Ben McMonagle 2017-03-10 22:51:58 CET

after adding another DE (task-Cinnamon), it does not get added to the greeter menu.

after a reboot it is added and available.

single de install from i586

Login ok from Gnome, Gnome Classic, Gnome on Xorg
Login stalls for both IceWM - does not present desktop, does not re-present greeter

soft (or hard) reboot required

Comment 6 Len Lawrence 2017-03-20 14:49:37 CET

For the latest rollout (2017-03-14) all three GNOME flavours work to some extent.  GNOME Classic is flawless.
Could log in to IceWm but the graphics were unstable and widgets became unresponsive.  The virtual desktops would not change and when windows were moved they left a trail of intermediate frames behind them.  Impossible at that stage to obtain any diagnostic information.  Hard reboot required.


So, it looks like the original bug has been solved.  The IceWM problems should now be opened in a new bug report.

Comment 7 Olav Vitters 2020-04-10 23:01:31 CEST

Closing per comment 6. Please open a new bug against icewm in case that one is troublesome.

Resolution: (none) => FIXED
