Can't login after tonights update

[GoinEasy9]

It seems that when I try to login at the Gnome login screen, it doesn't accept my User Password. If I go to terminal, I can login normally.
Before I rebooted, I tried to log out using Gnome3 and I got a notification that a program was missing ,,, I wish I wrote it down. I had to reboot from terminal, And now I'm wishing I would have investigated further before rebooting. Oh well ... anyone else see that notification?

[Umbi67]

Same problem here and ... no, I've not seen the notification.
I've tried previous kernel with no result
yum downgrade gdm gdm-plugin-fingerprint seems to solve the problem

I had an error about pk-gtk-module missing solved installing PackageKit-gtk3-module-0.6.13-1.fc15.i686 package.

BUT .... no more gnome-shell ! !:dis:

[glennzo]

I'll throw my hat in the ring here also. I installed F15 Alpha last night. Did a big update this morning and after rebooting can't log in. Temporary solution? Reboot and select Scientific Linux 6.

Oh yeah. I'd like to add that I couldn't shut down either. Got a message stating that "execution of gnome-session-save failed. Command not found". I was forced to switch to a VT and issue the shutdown -h now command.

[katastrophal]

count me in. there's already a bugreport about it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683323

[fedoraplus]

ME TOO :dis:
wait update :Y

are you guys using 64bit F15?

[GoinEasy9]

@detox I'm using 32 bit.

[tox]

@detox I'm using 32 bit.

ohh ok, reason why i asked is that i see more problems with the 64bit one

[GoinEasy9]

@detox ... Geez I thought the 32 bit installs were having the most troubles. I guess it's whatever your using.

I may try pulling gdm-2.91.93-1.fc15 and accountsservice-0.6.5-1.fc15 from koji later, if they haven't hit updates-testing by then. I just saw accounts-daemon 0.6.5-1 RPM also may help, we'll see.

[jvinla]

My system was also trashed by the latest updates, so I re installed.

How do I know when its safe to update?

Also,
1) I installed lxpanel and placed it on the right-hand side. Things are much nicer now.
2) I'm developing quite a long list of question about how things now work. Has anyone found a web site that describes how to deal with the changes?
3) I'm unable to su Gedit. Did I break something? (su works in a terminal).

[Vespa]

I'm relieved this is a bug. I just finished my first F15 Alpha install and I wondered what in the world I could have done to mess it up prior to my first login!

sorry guys,first post here and I am already asking for trouble
same here,first time I install Fedora and went ahead with latest Alpha,after updates no log in,dam it!:mad:
any way to solve it b4 format?
by the way,I am not new to nix,been using ubu for almost 2 years now....:D but wanted to try new Fedora...

[Fenrin]

ok the gdm login issue is solved for me.

Installing accountsservice-0.6.5-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm, accountsservice-libs-0.6.5-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm and gdm-2.91-93-2.fc15.x86_64.rpm solved this issue for me. Now I can login again and have the new gnome shell.

@kuvanito
you could download the above packages (or the ones with the i686 tag, in case if you use the 32bit version) from here (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/) (or wait 1-2 days until repos/servers contain these packages) and then install it under console mode. To login under console mode: either add 3 to the kernel boot line or press alt+ctrl+tab+F4.

yum install accountsservice-0.6.5-1.fc15.*.rpm accountsservice-libs-0.6.5-1.fc15.*.rpm gdm-2.91.93-2.fc15.*.rpm

[AndrewSerk]

The login issue is solved for me also, with:
yum localinstall --nogpgcheck accountsservice-0.6.5-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm accountsservice-libs-0.6.5-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm

I obtained the above packages from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=232690
I didn't need to update gdm.

Happy rawhide'n

I'll give this a try. Nothing to lose.

OK. Partially fixed the issue for me. Upon the first reboot the greeter only showed "other", not glenn so I chose other, typed in glenn and the password and successfully logged into the desktop but in "fallback mode". I rebooted again and this time the greeted showed "glenn" but upon logging in was still on "fallback mode".

I downloaded 4 packages and did yum localinstall.
accountsservice-0.6.5-1.fc15.i686.rpm
accountsservice-libs-0.6.5-1.fc15.i686.rpm
gdm-2.91.93-2.fc15.i686.rpm
gdm-plugin-fingerprint-2.91.93-2.fc15.i686.rpm (dependency)

[tox]

people need to install the koji package from yum and then they can install the packages. as i saw on irc

koji download-build --arch=x86_64 accountsservice-0.6.5-1.fc15

which will download all subpackages

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

or whatever your arch is ie: i386 , i686 or whatever

[GoinEasy9]

I download the packages from koji:
I tried the accountsservice rpm's ... it went to fallback mode.
Then, I tried the gdm rpm's ... still in fallback mode.

Oh, well ... at least I can log in.

In the list of updates there are 2 updates which I unticked. Each of those updates has another update within it (click on the + sign on its left to reveal the second one).
The first update is Accountsservice and when you click on the + sign it reveals accountsservice-libs package. I unticked both of those.
Then later on there is a Gnome Display Manager update. This also reveals another update when the + sign is clicked on. I unticked both of these too.
I then rebooted and was greeted by the login box and the only entry available was "other". I typed in my normal username and password and I logged in successfully.

how use gnome3

[Dan]

Graphic converted to a link. Graphics must be under 1024 pixels wide.

fedoraplus, that looks like a standard fall-back installation of Gnome3. If your hardware is not capable of running Gnome Shell, it will fall back to the interface you are seeing. The top menus still function normally, but desktop functionality has been removed in Gnome3. Yes. It's broken, but that was actually intentional on the part of Gnome developers.

If you wish to use fedora 15, and find Gnome3 to be unacceptable or onerous due to these changes, you can install one of the other desktop environments.

[fedoraplus]

thank you mr.Dan
first run gnome 3 100 %
but update fedora 15
now I can not use GNOME 3
How do I return the system to what it was before the update :(

[glennzo]

Well, I didn't reinstall anything. I waited a day or two, until just an hour or so ago and booted to runlevel 3. Logged in and took all updates that were offered, excluding xorg* because of dep errors and here I am, back using Fedora 15 Alpha with the Gnome 3 desktop. Seems to be working fine so far although it looks like something is different, not that I'd really know what it is, just different.

[GoinEasy9]

Could the difference be that you're in fallback mode? That's where I left it last night.

[tox]

people that dunno why there is a fallback Mode in Gnome3 at the moment read the bottom of this page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F15_bugs

[Lebenskuenstler]

Just disable updates-testing repo ... I had this problem, too, disabled after fresh install that repo and everything is fine now.

Of course, you have to wait longer for updates and are not able to search for new bugs that quickly...

[GoinEasy9]

Updates-testing is where all the fixes are. Last night Xorg came in complete with dependencies. Time from login to appearance of Gnome 3 wallpaper was also quicker, still slow, but quicker.

Now, we seem to have 3 windows to deal with in Gnome3/gnome-shell, those are Desktop, Windows and Applications. I have an idea, maybe we can take that windows screen, minimize it and put it...say...in the bottom right of the Desktop screen. Then, Minimize the Applications screen and put it say...in the upper left of the screen. We could activate it with a click to an icon, and it would drop down like a menu.....wait....what?
We are forced to add extra clicks to our workflow. Are there more features coming, or are we stuck with a whole lot of eye candy with no advancements in usability? I don't mean for this be rant-like ... just stating the facts ma'am just the facts.

That's exactly what I was wondering about Gnome 3 GoinEasy9. It just feels like half the functionality of Gnome 2 has been taken away and nothing useful added. The launch dock in Gnome 3 isn't new; I have AWN dock in Gnome 2. The screen that shows all the applications isn't new; I can select "all applications" in my Gnome 2 menu. Plus in Gnome 2 I can easily change themes and/or a myriad of desktop settings that I don't see in Gnome 3. And it does indeed take more clicks to do most things.

I imagine when Gnome 2 came out there were similar discussions, but we are supposed to be advancing, not regressing. Gnome devs seem to want to compete with Enlightenment, but I see no need to do so.

Just my $.02

[Raphos]

I imagine when Gnome 2 came out there were similar discussions, but we are supposed to be advancing, not regressing.

This is not the final release of Gnome 3 (I hope).

What is unfair is that you can't switch back to compiz-gnome and in the "standard" mode there are a lot of applications missing. After reboot, you automatically fall back in Gnome 3.

I really disagree with "if you want Gnome you must use Gnome 3 !".

[tox]

ok this time i did a reinstall. with the 64bit version, seems to running fine now, now hard lockups ( yet )

[Fenrin]

I did update my F15 a few hours before and now the boot stucks short before the GDM login manager would appear.

These 2 lines are the last things I can see:
stopping systemd syslog kernel Log Buffer Bridge
Starting Permit User Sessions...

Booting into console mode or booting of older kernel doesn't work either. Has anyone else this issue too?

I'm back in F14 for a while.

[jvinla]

Fenrin, I have the same problem. After an update and (attempted) reboot, its stopping at the same spot. I have not found a workaround yet.

[GoinEasy9]

After the update, my F15 install stops at "Starting LSB: Start up yhe NFS file locking service failed, see 'systenctl status nfslock.service' for details". Then, I left it for a few minutes and it came up with, Network Manager failed, then abrt failed, both with sysctl status errors. <sigh>

[tuxor]

I had the same problem and filed a bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689093

But this issue turned out to be related to the latest update to rsyslog:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689089

So basically, what you will have to do is:
# grep rsyslogd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

To do this, edit the grub kernel-line by adding "systemd.unit=rescue.target".
Alternatively, set SELinux to permissive in /etc/selinux/config.

[jvinla]

Thanks for the info tuxor,

I used another system to set SELinux to disabled and was then able to login.

[tuxor]

Thanks for the info tuxor,

I used another system to set SELinux to disabled and was then able to login.

You should really rather use "permissive". Disabling SELinux completely might harm your label configuration. Of course, if you don't want to use SELinux at all anyway, this is the right thing to do.

[Fenrin]

ok thank you. Now it works fine again. Booting only by adding systemd.unit=rescue.target was not succesful, but after adding 3 additionally for console mode it booted. And after entering these two lines it boots normal again :)
