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?

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 ! !

gnome-shell --replace

Pardon .... execute gnome-shell from root !!

But from normal user I get:

gnome-shell --replace

solved last error about cairo with:

ln -s /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2 /usr/lib/libcairo.so

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]

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.

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).

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!

here they are here if you wanna grab the rpm's https://admin.fedoraproject.org/upda...c5bc57f9d9d3e5

[kuvanito]

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!
any way to solve it b4 format?
by the way,I am not new to nix,been using ubu for almost 2 years now.... 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 (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/b...buildID=232690
I didn't need to update gdm.

Happy rawhide'n
