Description of problem: I have installed Mageia 4 with either the net-iso or the DVD-iso and chose MATE, GNOME, CINNAMON as desktop environments and everything went fine until I after the installation was done rebooted and booted the installed kernel, I saw that GDM crashed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.10.0 How reproducible: Everytime I install Mageia 4. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use either net-install or DVD-install for x86_64. 2. Choose Advanced installation with MATE, GNOME and CINNAMON. 3. Reboot. 4. Boot to the current kernel. 5. Voila! GDM crashes. A possible solution to implement somehow is to open a tty, login as your username and type: cd /etc/X11/ mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.new Login as root and type: updatedb && sync && init 6 Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

This graphics card is integrated on the laptop-motherboard for the Toshiba Satellite L755-1DR so it's kindda hard replacing the card.
Please attach (not paste): /var/log/gdm/* Is there anything interesting in journalctl output?

Sure. The weird thing is that changing some screen settings the same way that I did in Mageia 3 seems to trigger this issue. If I just do a fresh install without changing the screen settings GDM loads without any issue.

Relevant information had been provided. However, the bug is now quite old. Kristoffer, can you still reproduce?
Well, only IF I just choose to switch to GDM and just have GNOME installed.

Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. 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 Mageia version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release. Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO. 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 Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you most [2].

As announced over a month ago, Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. This issue may have been fixed in a later Mageia release, so, if you still see it and didn't already do so: please upgrade to Mageia 5 (or, if you read this much later than this is written: make sure you run a currently maintained Mageia version) If you are able to reproduce it against a maintained version of Mageia, you are encouraged to 1. reopen this bug report, by changing the "Status" from "RESOLVED - OLD" to "REOPENED" 2. click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. If you know it's valid in several versions, select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release. Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO. 3. give as much relevant information as possible. If you're not an experienced bug reporter and have some time: please read this page: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly If you see a similar issue, but are _not_sure_ it is the same, with the same cause, then please file a new bug report and mention this one in it (please include the bug number, too).
