Bug ID: 1515436 Summary: gnome-shell crashes with attached stacktrace: FcConfigEvaluate at top of stack. Product: Fedora Version: 26 Component: fontconfig Severity: high Assignee: tagoh@redhat.com Reporter: ndokos@redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: ajax@redhat.com, alexl@redhat.com, caillon+fedoraproject@gmail.com, fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, gnome-sig@lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, john.j5live@gmail.com, mbarnes@fastmail.com, mclasen@redhat.com, pnemade@redhat.com, rhughes@redhat.com, rstrode@redhat.com, sandmann@redhat.com, tagoh@redhat.com
Created attachment 1356104 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1356104&action=edit stacktrace of gnome-shell crash.
Description of problem:
I run Fedora 26 on a Lenovo Thinkpad W541. I ran a "dnf update" last Friday (2017-11-17) and after the update I could not login with any Gnome choice: Gnome, Gnome Classic, or Gnome on X11 - after a couple of burps on the display, it would return to the login prompt. I installed the cinnamon desktop and was able to log in with that.
It turns out that gnome-shell crashes in FcConfigEvaluate - see attached stacktrace.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fontconfig.x86_64 2.12.6-4.fc26 @updates
How reproducible: Always.
Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf update 2. reboot 3. login
Actual results: Churn a bit and then return to the login screen.
Expected results: Successful login.
