Frequent Gnome lock-ups since fresh F18 install

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I had F17 and updated it last week to F18. It was perfectly stable and I had no problems with Gnome.

I did a fresh install of F18 (fresh drive) on Sunday and since then Gnome 3 has locked up hard on me six times (three times just today). Each time, I can ctrl+alt+f2 into a terminal and I've tried restarting various things without successfully recovering.

If I run 'init 3' -> 'init 5', Gnome restarts and the system is usable again. It seems to happen randomly, though it generally happens when I am flipping between windows with alt+tab or alt+tilde. That said, it just crashed on me when I tried to unlock the screen after being gone for about an hour.

This time, I checked syslog and these were the last messages before the lock up;

===========

Feb 12 21:39:22 lemass dbus-daemon[749]: ** Message: No devices in use, exit
===========

This time I tried restarting dbus.service and it closed and, eventually, restarted Gnome.

This is getting to the point where I can't really be productive with my laptop. Whenever it hangs, I lose anything not yet saved as gnome becomes totally unresponsive. I am not sure what I would open a ticket on even.

Any help would be appreciated.
