I don't think it's such a big deal. I don't understand much of the output, but it seems like there's a clue with the handoff from Plymouth to mutter, when starting GDM. I might be able to resolve it immediately by switching to SDDM, but I haven't tried that. In any case, the bug has been marked as a duplicate and it seems that the problem is much bigger, affecting x86_64, too! https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1335173 -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
