Hi people.
My F14 system is hanging during graphical login/boot into KDE. The mouse
becomes intermittent and then it freezes.
However, if I start a CLI session before it hangs, the CLI session runs
fine.
The machine will NOT shut down properly. It hangs during shutdown. It
looks like one or more processes won't stop properly.
I believe this started happening after running yum update yesterday during
which I noted that a new nvidia driver was installed. I am running the
proprietary nvidia driver, not nouveau. (Ducks !)
Any ideas why this is happening ? Anyone else having the same problem ?
Thanks !
11:08 a.m.
Yum update last night had updates to kdm and kdebase. I installed them,
hoping it would fix my problem. No joy.
1:45 p.m.
Any progress on this issue ?
I'm hoping that an update will appear that fixes the problem. Am I dreaming
?
My next step would be to install an older kernel and roll back the
kmod-nvidia. Is it worth doing ? I deleted all but the most recent kernel
to prepare for an update to F15.
11:39 a.m.
The latest version of KDE, as available from KDE-updates repo. It looks
like 4.6.5 judged by the yum list.
I have 5 or so kernels installed and I don't think any of them will run.
There is nothing of significance running in "top", from the CLI session
anyway. I can't run it from a graphical session.
dmesg is clean.
BTW: I upgraded the wireless router yesterday. (Linksys E4200) This
machine is running wireless N for the first time and it is throwing errors
from time to time.

Nothing very much I can share at this time. I have a Dell Dimension E520
which had factory fitted Nvidia GeForce 7300. Other than install the
proprietary drivers (yeah me too...) I have done nothing special - no
acceleration (as far as I know).
Is it possible to roll back the nvidia update via yum ? (Please
save
the sermon on proprietary drivers for later...)
I tried booting into a previous kernel (which still had the relevant
kmod-nvidia driver installed) which had worked fine previously - no
joy...
My system is fine during login. It too starts to lock during the
later stages of booting into the graphical session. One in a while I
can get a desktop up before it locks.
The thing with me is that I get the GDM login screen (does KDE have an
equivalent?) and log in to any of the users (I have 3 users set up on
this machine - me, wife, son) that *DON'T* have desktop effects enabled.
Now that I have managed to disable the compiz desktop effect for my own
user id, I can now log in to that account too. In other words - all is
fine unless I want to use desktop effects.
Perhaps you could try to set up a new user on the machine and see what
that gives?
I am a bit short of time at the moment, but I intend to file a bug
report; I also intend to try removing and re-installing the drivers. I
originally installed the specific driver for the kernel (as per this
guide: http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-nvidia.html), but
then found during one kernel update that the relevant nvidia driver was
not available. I then installed the akmod-nvidia package which builds
its own driver. I am wondering if there has been a problem with this, so
I am going to try a complete re-install of the nvidia stuff (probably
tomorrow if I get a chance).
If you have any suggestions please do share...
Thanks
Mark

I presume that you rebooted before trying again. Take a look at
/var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if there are any errors reported.

Just ran yum update on it. It runs KDE too. However, I haven't been able
to get into the CLI on it.
Here is what the messages on the screen say.
Starting /boot...
Started /boot.
systemd[1]: Job devmapper-vg_duo\xdlv_home.device/start timed out.
systemd[1]: Job Fedora-autorelabel-mark.service/start failed with result
'dependency'
And on it goes...

I'm booting from an SSD.

I'm using gnome, not KDE, but if you look at my thread from earlier
today
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2011-August/403344.html
you'll see that I have a very similar problem.
I am just creating an account on the rpmfusion bugzilla list to report
this as a bug (have to go out now so will do it later tonight...).

Can you provides the /var/log/messages, top, free -m and iostat of your
system?
Which kernel version are you using?
Which KDE version?

F15 on my Dell Duo (Intel Atom, i915) just stopped booting. Looks like
something similar.
