Description Guillaume GARDET 2021-07-21 12:09:15 UTC

Autologin is broken on XFCE on aarch64 since snapshot 20210718. 
See: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1850047/modules/first_boot/steps/1

Snapshot 20210714 was fine and it started to fail on snapshot 20210718.
You can compare the main packages changelog:
https://openqa.opensuse.org/snapshot-changes/opensuse-aarch64/Tumbleweed/diff/20210714
and:
https://openqa.opensuse.org/snapshot-changes/opensuse-aarch64/Tumbleweed/diff/20210718

With this comparison, I spotted some candidates:
 * Mesa/Mesa-driver (21.1.4 -> 21.1.5)
 * xorg-x11-server (1.20.11 -> 1.20.12)
 * xwayland (21.1.1.901 -> 21.1.2)

Logs are available at https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1850047#downloads

Comment 1 Guillaume GARDET 2021-07-22 07:19:49 UTC

It seems to be related to xorg-x11-server update from 1.20.11 to 1.20.12.

Few occurrences with other distros:

Thanks for reporting! Watchting the gitlab issue now ...

Comment 3 Dirk Mueller 2021-07-22 09:36:23 UTC

at least in the upstream issue there is no indication that this would be aarch64 specific. the question is how/what to address here also on x86_64. I would not want to do aarch64 build workarounds here if its not aarch64 specific.

Comment 6 Guillaume GARDET 2021-07-22 09:56:06 UTC

According to upstream issue, the patch added in https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/907688 does not cover all cases, especially the crashes inside qemu seems to still happen.

Comment 7 Stefan Dirsch 2021-07-22 10:08:47 UTC

Ok. Reopen.

Comment 8 Guillaume GARDET 2021-07-22 12:10:00 UTC

According to upstream here is another which should help: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/commit/8836b9d243444031b6396d39d345f2f83b5fa6a9
