We've seen this a few times during the 7 cycle. We eventually tracked it down to: * new version of dbus installed, adds new config file format that old (running) version doesn't understand * new selinux policy installed, pokes dbus to reread its config file * old dbus is still running, fails to parse new config file, exits * all of gnome dies with it * X server exits because all clients have exited * gdm restarts No good way of fixing it, really. I suppose you could try upgrading dbus, restarting X, then doing the rest of the upgrade, which might work. Alternatively, update from runlevel 3. - ajax -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
