Description Tim Flink 2011-03-10 23:43:18 UTC

system log from boot until X reboot

Using Fedora 15 x86_64 Live image for Gnome3 Beta test day (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-03-10_GNOME3_Beta)

Exact version:
gdm-2.91.6-8.fc15.x86_64

On boot, gdm partially starts and just shows the wallpaper. The mouse does work but no login prompt is shown.

Upon inspection of the system log, I found a crash backtrace after the line:
gdm-simple-greeter[1290]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed#012aborting...

After rebooting the X server with <ctl><alt><backspace>, gdm came up without problems.

System log from boot until after X reboot is attached

The problem here is the icon size of 51. The icon is available, but only in size 48. Ray, did you not fix this already ?
Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2011-03-14 17:34:04 UTC
I did fix this.  I think Adam used an old GDM in the test day.
