Hi guys and galls, I'm testing few older gpraphics cards and few nvidia cards have issue when using nouveao module that after typing in login info I don't see GNOME Shell nor compatible mode dekstop but just get message saying: "Oh no! Something has gond wrong. A problem has occured and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again."
This looks like Fedora tried to load GNOME Shell but it didn't detect card features correctly so it fails. My question is why GNOME doens't just switch to compatible mode instead of crashing?
Which logs are relevant with this issue? Should I look at X log or GNOME Shell has some of its own logs, and if it has where are they located? I'm interested to see what causes the issue.
I tried also loading nvidia proprietary module but it looks it doesn't support latest X in Fedora 15.
I'm willing to work with devels to track down bugs and make Fedora 15 and GNOME Shell better but need some guidance.
Cheers, Valent.

Best thing for you to do is to file a bug report against GNOME Shell with your hardware information, Xorg log and anything else you might think is relevant and let the developers ask for more information if necessary.

Rahul,
I had reported this problem in another post on this list. There is already a bug reported but I have not been able to get any responses. My view is that this is going to be a major problem, at least it is for me. If there is anything we can do to assist the debug process I am 'in' as well.

It was reported against gdm. I have reassigned to GNOME Shell. Can you create a new user and see if the problem persists? Is this a fresh installation or a upgrade?

This was a fresh install replacing a Windows XP system. I reformatted the entire available disc space during the install. Actually, I did a fresh install twice, first time this happened I could not find a reference to it so I thought it was something I might have done. Second install had the same symptoms. I also tired a LiveCD and got the same symptoms.
I have added new users via the kde interface and then tried to use gnome3, but received the same "Oh No!" KDE seems to work fine. I did not add new users via the terminal interface. I have changed monitors without a change in symptoms. My current thought was pointed at a failure to communicate with the video card in the Dell 8250.

Rahul or others on the list,
It looks like this bug is a real problem for gnome3 on Fc15. I have not seen any positive activity leading to resolution. I am sure they have a lot on their plate. I am about ready to try an installation of F14 and say good bye to gnome3. Is there any way to determine if this bug is in line to be fixed, or if having my system intact with the bug would be beneficial to them. I would like to get this machine in production and may look at alternatives.
