Description of problem: GNOME installed from sta1 classic iso on laptop with CSM boot. The desktop appears to function normally; no regressions noted but after periods left unattended the desktop crashes. Shows tty2. AltCtlF2 recalls the X display but without a window/desktop manager; missing window decorations. Focus tends to be retained by last application used so firefox for instance can still respond to different URLs. Two kernels were tried: 4.6.0-desktop-0.rc6.1.mga5 4.6.0-desktop-0.rc5.2.mga6 and journal and dmesg from the first are attached. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia-6-sta1-x86_64-DVD How reproducible: It appears to happen consistently within an hour of booting. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install GNOME from the iso for the component on a Legacy boot system 2. Make sure the desktop is functioning normally 3. Wait a while for the console to appear and type CtrlAltF2 to show the desktop

No longer consistent. Suspending OK after an hour and returning on pressing power button. GNOME has been running on this laptop now for something like 36 hours.

There was an old bug whereby a colour profile directory would be owned by root (IIRC). Does it happen under a new user as well? Please also check the GDM user account & home directory. 2. Theme shouldn't be affected by this, but still weird to get it. 3. gnome-shell is crashing. It would still be good to get a stack trace.

Umm. It is a bit late now. No longer have that system installed. RC replaced sta1 and did not show this bug AFAICR. Better to wait for sta2 and see if it appears there. As a matter of information, referring to point 3 in comment 4; how to provide a stack trace if gnome-shell crashes?
In several 6sta2 GNOME installs this bug is absent. Not sure how to close this. Using WONTFIX. RESOLVED or OLD?

There was a bug, there's no bug now, I'd say FIXED
Resolution: WONTFIX => FIXED
