Bug ID: 2274678
Summary: Black screen on each first GUI login after a reboot
Product: Fedora
Version: 40
Hardware: x86_64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Component: imsettings
Keywords: Desktop
Severity: medium
Assignee: tagoh(a)redhat.com
Reporter: mmuehlfe(a)redhat.com
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, tagoh(a)redhat.com
Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
When I boot my laptop and log in to Cinnamon, the screen stays black. Only the
mouse cursor is visible and can be moved.
To work around this problem, I switch to the console, kill the
"cinnamon-session-binary" process, and then log in again. After this
workaround, I can logout/login as often as I want, and everything works as
expected. However, as soon as I reboot, the problem is back and I, again, need
the workaround.
The errors in /var/log/messages and .xsession-errors sound like the problem is
related to imsettings-daemon.
I can reproduce this problem after each reboot of my laptop (Dell Latitude
E7440). I don't have this problem on my F40 desktop computer. Both are fresh
installations (no upgrades) of F40, and all available updates are installed.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot Fedora 40.
2. Log in to Cinnamon.
Actual Results:
Black screen on the first time you log in after a reboot. Only the mouse cursor
is visible and can be moved.
Expected Results:
Desktop should be shown and be usable.
* The problem also exists if SELinux is in permissive mode.
* The problem also exists with a new user account (empty home directory).
* Only the first user who logs into the GUI after a reboot has this problem. If
you run the workaround, all users can login/logoff without getting the black
screen.
* After a reboot, the problem is back, and the first GUI login shows the black
screen.
