Dear folks,

For the past week or so, I have a machine running Fedora 16 and X worked fine till a week or so ago. I have started in level 3 and relabeled everything(in case Selinux has a problem), but machine still hangs when starting up. I start in level 3 and type startx and I get Fallback mode (Gnome 3). If I start in gui mode I get a hang and cannot get to X. Sometimes I am lucky to get X. However booting with enforcing=0, X comes up with no problem.

I have relabeled filesystem two times already and this continues to happen.

Smolt Profile in case it is important

http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_6f209009-0c1d-4fe8-94e9-9dda0d19ac44

I welcome ideas suggestions and comments. I am hitting this bug on a daily basis as my students use this machine for school work and it is not working well. My students are upset at me, because I have to add the extra enforcing=0, when things should just work.

Best Regards,


Antonio

What made you decide that SELinux was part of the problem, or did you
simply disable it by reflex? Are you getting any security alerts? When
you say that X doesn't start, do you mean that you're able to log in but
then X doesn't come up or do you mean that you don't even get a login
screen? Have you checked any of the appropriate logs when you're logged
into a console, and if so, have they told you anything? These and more
are probably questions you'd ask your students and for good reason: you
haven't really given us anything to go on.

Saw another thread that selinux was causing Gnome 3 to go back to fallback mode. Machine was working correctly auto logging in. I have not seen any sealerts, but by using enforcing=0, machine works correctly thereby confirming my suspicions and the the ones in the thread, but can't remember which one.

I update the machine on a regular basis and it has worked, but I have to restart it several times so that X comes up, otherwise it just appears to hang

Thanks,

Antonio
