Comment 14 Laurentiu Pancescu 2016-12-06 11:44:51 UTC 
Similar problem has been detected:

Default installation of F25 XFCE Live Spin, unable to login graphically after the installation. I switched to the first text console, upgraded the system, rebooted and tried again, with the same result. After 'journalctl -b' showed a SIGSEGV in lightdm-gtk-greeter, I was able to start XFCE from the text console, by 'sudo systemctl stop lightdm', followed by 'startxfce4 &' and I reported the crash from ABRT.

Comment 15 Laurentiu Pancescu 2016-12-06 22:38:20 UTC 
Could this crash be hardware-specific, if it involves Cairo?  I'm running F25 XFCE i686 on another netbook since F25 Beta was published, without having ever seen lightdm crashing (Intel 945GM integrated graphics controller). The crash is also unreproducible with a fresh F25 XFCE x86_64 installation inside KVM.  On an Asus EeePC 1005PE, using an Atom N450 integrated graphics, the crash is 100% reproducible.
Comment 16 Laurentiu Pancescu 2017-01-16 15:10:00 UTC 
As of 2017-01-15, I can't reproduce the crash anymore. I upgraded from F24 to F25 yesterday, and I never saw any crashes. I also performed a clean F25 installation today, again without any single crash after several logins.

Comment 22 Need Real Name 2017-03-22 19:38:16 UTC 
This happens to me 99% of the time when I login to either of my two Fedora 25 systems. Both have a Cinnamon desktop. One is a Skylake desktop Core i7 with INtel built in graphics, the other is a Kaby Lake laptop Core i5 with Intel built in graphics.
Comment 23 Need Real Name 2017-03-22 20:01:50 UTC 
Just to clarify, it happens just once, on the first login after reboot. The screen goes black and after a couple seconds I get the login prompt back. When I login the next time everything is fine. So it isn't a serious bug, but something is clearly amiss.
Comment 24 Jarmo 2017-05-07 14:17:08 UTC 
Reproduces in F26 Alpha.
Comment 25 Simon 2017-05-07 15:16:38 UTC 
(In reply to rh from comment #24)
> Reproduces in F26 Alpha.

Wouldn't be too surprised. As far as I know no fix had been provided. My workaround was to use gdm instead of lightdm. Works well in fedora
Comment 26 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2017-05-19 16:21:26 UTC 
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Comment 27 Jarmo 2017-05-23 15:45:18 UTC 
Currently the issue does not reproduce (with lightdm). Had the issue since Nov 2016 (or so).

Comment 32 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 14:56:59 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Comment 33 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:34:43 UTC 
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
