Description lampshade 2015-02-14 23:18:21 UTC 
Hello
I have tried both Fedora 20 Alpha in the end of 2013 and Fedora 21 Alpha in October 2014, because I was curious about Wayland support in Gnome. Unfortunatelly it always crashed when I wanted to launch Gnome/Wayland session. So I am subscribed to two bugs:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1147884
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1134133

After all I removed Fedora and installed Debian Jessie with Gnome 3.14 (default for amd64). I still have option to launch Gnome/Wayland session and it still crashes. But in bug report somebody sayd that if he removes acer_wmi kernel module (which is loaded not only on Acer laptops but also on other vendors laptops) he can log in to Gnome/Wayland session. And it works. I can run Gnome/Wayland session on Debian Jessie.

If this still happens in a recent version (3.28 or 3.30), please provide a stacktrace of the crash ("thread apply all bt full" under gdb, or via "coredumpctl gdb" under Fedora nowadays). Thanks!
