Hi folks,

I've been testing "Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-26-20170420.n.0.iso" on qemu- kvm tonight and I've had trouble following the login TestCase.

Actually, the login process resulted to multiple crashes (large part of the KDE session, I guess). I reported what seems to be the most relevant one: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1446785

I'm not sure this is the main cause for the misbehavior. Having said that, I think that sddm's login functionality might be quite broken at this time, since the entire KDE session crashed lots of times, during my login attempts.

However, more testing may help in collecting more data for debugging the situation.

As a footnote, I've also hit this (which is weird, but doesn't seem a big issue, at least for Beta): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi ?id=1446782

Thank you for your help.

As I mentioned in a status report mail yesterday, openQA seems to hit crashes / hangs in KDE startup quite often also; it sometimes just gets stuck with the KDE splash screen partly complete, or winds up at a black screen with a KDE-ish cursor visible but nothing else. I haven't had time to dig into the logs and see if I could diagnose a pattern to the failures, though...
