I have a fully working (Clean Installed) F29 test machine which seems OK for some users (fred) who has a very small home directory.
User home directories are NFS mounted from a Centos 7.5.1804 server I am using lightdm & XFCE on both F28 & F29 I login to F29 as me (ja) and the display locks up continually, the display can become smeared, applications freeze, ..., it is totally unusable - core dumping maybe. I login to XFCE as another user (fred) and su - ja and run applications with no problems - evolution, google-chrome, pcmanfm, ... I conclude that there is something in my ~/.config or ~/.cache that F29 cannot handle during the login phase or shortly after. There are 11323 files in ~/.config and 5431 in ~/.cache Worse still when I return to my F28 machine as ja then problems are now present on that machine as well. Presumably ~/.config (maybe ~/.cache) has been corrupted by F29. I have to restore ~/.config (394MB) and once ~/.cache(532MB) from a backup before I have a usable F28 machine again. (and hence can send this email) I have tried things such as "find ~/.config -amin -3" to find changed files but nothing I have deleted/moved has helped. I have used journalctl -f and top I have seen xfce4-panel, xfsettingsd, xfdesktop seg fault (libgdk-3) At one stage I thought "setenforce 0" helped but now not convinced. Has anyone else seen this problem or has some suggestion for better ways of trouble shooting? I am loathe to have to re-create all those settings in ~/.config Struggling! _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
