Re: gdm / gnome-shell segfaults on Raspberry Pi 3B+

Thanks for following up. I was mostly trying to gauge if this was common enough it should be a proposed blocker.

Now, not to be a stick in the mud, but what other common armhfp hardware is out there? If the Pi 3B+ isn't "up to the task", perhaps desktop images that aren't expected work should just be dropped? I'm not sure a desktop environment running on armhfp in a VM is that common of a use case.

We're now looking at publicly releasing a version of Fedora that apparently just doesn't work when all immediately obvious documentation implies it should.

This brings up my major frustration with Fedora on ARM since I've started poking at it. A "regular user" wanting to run Fedora on their Pi is going to go to the Fedora ARM landing page[0]. That page doesn't make it immediately clear what works on what hardware. If the user doesn't give up, they may scroll down and see the Documentation link and follow it to the Fedora ARM wiki page[1]. Scrolling there they will see "Supported Hardware and Devices" with "Raspberry Pi" right on top. That page[2] repeatedly lists Workstation as supported on the 3B+, in the introduction, under supported hardware, under pre-requestites (where a video cable is suggested, implying something other than minimal should work), and as explicitly under supported images. No caveats are given.

End rant. I really am appreciative of Fedora on ARM. Thanks for listening.

Can anyone successfully boot a Workstation image on a Raspberry Pi 3B+?
I keep running into a segfault[0][1] with both armhfp and aarch64 images.

Hi Brandon,

Thanks for testing and filing those bugs. Unfortunately the Raspberry Pi 3 hasn't
quite been up to the task for a while. Workstation needs a minimum of 2GB in
my testing- even then it struggles.

Join us on the arm mailing list[1], you'll likely get a quicker response to arm
related questions.

Thanks,
Paul
