After upgrade F27->F28: Gnome does not start properly (hangs?)

[Jouk Jansen]

Hi All,

I upgraded one of my machines from F27 to F28 by command line dnf-upgrade.

All did run without problem until the machine rebooted itself. After the
"fedora F" the screen freezes with only a pointer in view, which does not
move when I move the mouse.

Luckely I could connect to the machine using ssh. From there every thing
seems fine. I looked into /var/log/boot.log :

[root@foxtrot log]# tail boot.log
         Starting Network Manager Wait Online...
[  OK  ] Started /etc/rc.d/rc.local Compatibility.
[  OK  ] Started Permit User Sessions.
         Starting Hold until boot process finishes up...
         Starting GNOME Display Manager...
[  OK  ] Started Job spooling tools.
[  OK  ] Started Command Scheduler.
[  OK  ] Started Xinetd A Powerful Replacement For Inetd.
[  OK  ] Started OpenSSH server daemon.
[  OK  ] Started GNOME Display Manager.



If I reboot the machine and do a <CTRL><ALT><BACKSPACE> early in the
process
the console gives all [OK]'s. I alsi see a few lines in the end which do not
seem to be in the boot.log (I hope I type them without error):

[OK] Reached target User and Group Name Lookups.
     Sarting Accounts Service...
     Starting Authorization Manager...
[OK] Started Authorization Manager.
[OK] Started Accounts Service.
[OK] Started Virtualization daemon.
[OK] Created slice User Slice of gdm.
     Starting User Manager for UID 42...
[OK] Started Session c1 for user gdm.
[OK] Started User Manager for UID 42.

After this the console seems dead.


What could be the problem?


        thanks in advance
