Description Spenk 2014-10-07 22:58:32 UTC 
I did a yum upgrade from fedora 20 to fedora 21.
This upgrade was quite bumpy, but I managed to upgrade all packages and did a couple of groupinstalls/groupupdates/distro-sync and used rpmconf to merge config files.

The problem now is that lightdm-gtk fails to start a cinnamon session.

Xorg.0.log reports:
(EE) systemd-logind: failed to get session: PID 1335 does not belong to any known session

journalctl reports several issues involving xinit and initial-setup.

Some side notes:
- During the upgrade I actually did encounter a problem while upgrading package initial-setup. This installation took too long (20 minutes) and I decided to hit Ctrl-C. Before returning to a prompt after Ctrl-C, yum output a message that a script in initial-setup had failed. I did do a reinstall of initial-setup.
- The journal had messages about systemd service definitions being inaccessible. I was not sure wether 'restorecon *' on the relevant folder would fully fix this, so I decided to disable SELINUX.

Please let me know if you need any more information.

rpm -q lightdm 

please.

If, lightdm-1.10.2-1.fc21 , this is a dup of bug #1150179 and should be fixed by:

I'm sorry .. I didn't notice the other bug report.
This must of course be a dup, because I have the latest updates.

Please, can you advise me on the python/initial-setup errors in journal?
Is this is a consequence of my bumpy upgrade or should I make another report?

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2014-10-08 12:39:26 UTC 
Wrt to the other errors, I'm guessing the lightdm failure may have had something to do with it.  My recommendation would be to get lightdm fixed first, and see if those other problems are still reproducible.  If yes, then yes, please do file separate reports for each individual issue.
