F34 hanging after boot

@sampsonf @mane25
Which graphic card /driver do you use?

I have tested on my F34 workstation and F34 Silverblue and I don’t have issues with GDM.

I am using the AMD A10-7850K APU (AMD Kaveri).

I tested with a VM guest, and cannot reproduce the problem.

It seems to be hardware specific.

I have only found a similar issue. But unfortunatly it’s not AMD.

Which graphic card /driver do you use?

AMD Kaveri [Radeon R5 Graphics]

I have another system (AMD Stoney) that doesn’t have the issue.

strange at all- I have myself AMD Ryzen 5 3500U and no issues

As tested with Fedora 34,
The GOLD version works but with latest updates, GDM also hangs on startup.

Update:
Under Fedora 34 and Silverblue 34, the GDM issue is gone once switch over using the AMDGPU driver instead of RADEON driver.

Please see this for details:

Fefora 34 not show up logins manager but only blank screen with cursor at top left of display.

I fresh install fedora 34 with gnome 40. Before updating fedora it work just fine. Now i simply run sudo dnf update and after that reboot the system.
Now gdm login is not showings. It blink cursor in left top of display.
So i use contrl + alt + fn + f3 to login through terminals and type command: startx it showing fine .
Can any one help me to fix this or i simply switch back to Ubuntu.
I really like fedora it pre-installed jdk which is amazing as developer.

I remember i make separate partition for 1024mb for boot during installation did it makings problem ?

Save me to fix this here systemctl status:

It sounds like the same issue

https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f34-hanging-after-boot/75609/14?u=sampsonf

My error came after those components upgraded:

Welcome @anuj900
Thx for asking your question and explaining your issue. I’ve moved your problem to this one bc it’s almost the same topic to be solved and discussed.

1 hour into using F34 , gdm started to give me “White Screen of Death” .

usual procedure now is to create a new user, try get a gnomeshell-GUI of the new user.

Funnily, this fixed it for the old, initial user account too ! :smirk:

tried for hours all sorts of troubleshooting but as usual, that only made it worse.

Kaveri + Radeon R600

May I ask what is white screen of death?

It is like a white empty Desktop background made by gdm,

telling you to relogin because of unfixable crash . if you do , you come back to the white screen of death, of course.

sometimes, if you press the Windows-key, the gnomeshell app-folder shows.

release the windows-key , and the white screen of death rears its ugly head again.

sometimes, it also has a logout button and an icon like a “crying TV screen”.

or a sad-looking Screen icon.

so in my case WSOD (as opposed to BSOD = blue windows crash screen) showed, even though gdm was kind of only semi-crashed.

weird, huh.

so WSOD is like the BSOD for MS Windows of Bill Gates, but white instead of blue.

comes, when the GUI crashed badly and won’t fix easily.

Summary:

This issue happens when the open source radeon drivers is using with gnome 40.1.

While waiting for future updates that might fix this issue, I am doing below as alternatives:

  1. avoid using gnome at the moment
  • Use i3 or sway
  • Use KDE/Plasma. As I use Silverblue, I rebased to Kinoite - which is in rawhide
  1. Do not use radeon
  • by adding two kernel boot parameters, amdgpu is used instead of radeon. But for me, sound over hdmi is not working, so I need to route sound over to bluetooth speakers .

Exactly my situation. I’m using an AMD RX 5700XT. The starting Fedora logo screen displays fine then I end up with the blank screen and blinking top left cursor. Logs are big and confusing so I tried getting what I thought is relevant.

I never got to get Gnome or anything GUI at all to work. I tried previous kernels - no luck.

I hope this helps.

Thanks.
