With all of the kernels in the rawhide 3.15 series so far the gnome
desktop fails to load. Kernels in the 3.14 series are fine.
All I can see is that the X server seems to start (ps -A | grep Xorg
returns a PID), but the Xorg.0.log is empty. No obvious failures in
journalctl -xb. I see gdm is started, but at this point lots of disk
activity but then nothing. c-a-f2 gets me to tty and I can login. Top
looks normal for a non-gnome session. Killing X sometimes brings up
the GDM login, but after entering password, just a blank screen and the
Xorg log file is still empty.
Have tried every 3.15 kernel so far without luck.
I don't see any obvious bz, and would be happy to enter one, but don't
know what information should be included.
Any help appreciated.
TIA

I haven't had gdm display anything for the last several kernel updates ,
but I'm not convinced the kernel is at fault as older ones stopped gdm from
working too.
GDM *thinks* it is working - `journalctl -u gdm` is where you can find the
Xorg log output these days - but the vterm is black. Lightdm and sddm
display, though poorly, and neither produce a working gnome session.
No one thing I've poked at so far appeared to be the cause, so I haven't
complained. Good to know it is not just me ;)
