I have absolutely no idea what relationship pulsaudio/sound has to gdm/gnome/shutting down.I tried again with the latest kernel (kernel-3.15.0-0.rc1.git4.1.fc21.x86_64), and when I reached the "black screen" state, I switch to a VT, and as root killed all the pulseaudio processes ('killall -9 pulseaudio'). Within about 5-10 seconds, I got the gdm-greeter login screen. System hung (black screen) again after entering password, so I switched to VT and again killed the pulseaudio processes with 'killall -9 pulseaudio'. Apparently the "new ones" were spawned by login process.I noticed that "ps" seemed to be reporting that all was well: all the obvious processes were running, but I did notice more than the usual number of pulseaudio processes.2. switch to a VT, run "telinit 3" and then "telinit 5".I also had not been able to get a 3-15 kernel to boot-up/display the Gnome desktop (Lenovo X200, Intel graphics).1. boot with enforcing=0
I had tried my usual tricks:
I also noticed shutdown hanging on "saving sound state" (or some such).
Lo and behold, got my gnome desktop (of course, no sound).
Anyone have any ideas/thoughs?
