We upgraded a test system to Fedora 20 using the fedup process. There were 60 packages that were left from Fedora 19 after the upgrade that were subsequently fixed by doing a yum distro-sync. Since the upgrade we are not able to login into a Gnome session. We select the user in the greater and it prompts for the pass word. After that it goes to the grayed background and hangs leaving the user session in a hung state where you have cursor control but the session setup does not get to the point where you can select anything.
We have checked the logs and see nothing in the logs that indicate an issue. The other change noticed is the monitor never goes to sleep when the greater screen is active.

Does systemctl restart gdm.service from text shell help you restore system responsiveness? It might be some problem with gnome-shell or Xorg, I'm facing similar behavior from time to time on fresh installation.

Same recovery as doing init 3 init 5 you get back to the Gnome greater screen with the session ended. We have looked at the Xorg log files and see nothing wrong in them. Our case is not intermittent. We have tried both VGA and HDMI connections and get the same results. We have also reviewed dmesg and the /var/log/message log files. Nothing seems to get logged. We have checked for selinux avc issues and tried login in selinux Permissive mode. Second check just now indicates that a systemctl restart gdm.service gets us back to the Gnome greater screen but then we were not able to select a user for login.

Don't bother searching in logs. It's very likely that you won't find anything there because failing piece of code is part of gnome-shell and is written in Java Script. I don't see any references to logging facilities in that code. If you have enough time and spare resources you can take a look at https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/ . This issue might be hard to resolve.

We see by using journalctl -f | less That the shell fails to register before a timeout occurs and that there is a kernal pool segfault and a core dump. We have not been able to determine if they are all related. Except they happen close together.

It might be coincidence but it's worth investigating it. I don't experience any core dumps when having issues with gnome-shell but who knows how it's in your case.

Since we saw the complaint about a timeout we changed the nsswitch.conf file to look at files before dns and stopped autofs and hardmounted the home directories. We have now upgraded a second system which has the same issue. Yet no fix found.

`journalctl _UID=<user's uid>` might be a helpful filter here - similar to the now obsolete ~/.xsession-errors.

OK, we have done this and included the output for a login attempt. The abrt tracker is indicating that this has been previously reported so maybe with some luck it will get corrected. In the mean time Cinnamon seems to work for an alternative.

This bit looks ripe for investigation. Do you have these .desktop files, and do they contain correct references to present and functional binaries?

This is suspicious as well. Incompatible extension, perhaps?
snip remainder, gnome-shell didn't open so dependents fail too.
Have you tried with a new user? If that works, move around your .files to isolate the culprit.

OK, I did find those and some old gnome2 stuff. So I went the drastic route and wiped out all files and directories with gnome in the name. Still get the same results.

And with the new user account? This is a crucial test, because tweaking your config files and troubleshooting the display stack are very different.

Bingo, seems to be old scruff somewhere in the accounts that is preventing the logins from working. Did two tests. One with a local new account and another with the account on the remote user server using autofs and NFS to server the home directories. Both tests worked.
Now do we take a meat axe and remove all the dot directories or in great pain discover what is blocking the logins from working. Note we have already removed every directory and file that had gnome in the name.

Only you can answer this question. If you only have a hammer in your toolbox, use the hammer. If you have some patience and a scalpel, you can be more selective.
BTW, there's nothing that says that any file created by GNOME must have "gnome" in the file name, and nothing that restricts GNOME from using files that don't have "gnome" in the file name. It's a good start, but the process continues.
