Details

Description:

Upgraded from Gnome 3.6 -> 3.8 without issue.

Later upgraded libsoup 2.42.1-1 -> 2.42.2-1.

Upon restart was unable to log in via gdm.

First time was able to reach gdm screen and enter login details, but did not reach Gnome desktop, only gdm background and cursor visible.

Second and third times did not even reach gdm screen, screen remained on plymouth.

Downgraded to libsoup 2.42.1-1.

Restarted and issue disappeared.


Additional info:
* package version = 2.42.2-1


Steps to reproduce:

- Upgrade to libsoup 2.42.2-1 on a Gnome 3.8 install (may not apply to a fresh install, only an upgrade from 3.6).

- Restart and try to login via gdm.

- Downgrade to 2.42.1-1 and see if issue resolved.
This task depends upon

- locale-dependent problems: fixed with webkitgtk3 update
- freeze after login: fixed with gnome-settings-daemon update

Can't reproduce.

Confirming both the bug and that downgrading libsoup fixes the problem.
Also, I found that moving my .config/dconf folder followed by running systemctl restart gdm would allow me to login once, but i would have to repeat the process every time i restart.

I have the same problem. I wonder if it's related to the glib2-2.36 problems discussed here https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34980, here https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34892 and here https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34936.

Turns out this may be due to locale. Try changing to another and see if issue resolved. If so, should then be able to switch back to original. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162232
