Issue using generated text file.
Comment 2 Phil Wyett 2019-03-26 02:20:59 UTC 
Further testing. Changed from component 'gnome-shell' to 'wayland' for now.

- Issue is on rawhide wayland
- Issue is not on rawhide xorg
- Issue is on f30 pre beta 1.7 wayland
- Issue is not on f30 pre beta 1.7 xorg
- Issue is not on f29 wayland
- Issue is not on f29 xorg

All testing with VMs and not on bare metal as not available to me.

Comment 4 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2019-03-27 00:29:03 UTC 
Proposed as a Blocker for 30-beta by Fedora user kathenas using the blocker tracking app because:

 Alters and interferes with normal default desktop functionality and usability. Violation: final.
Comment 5 Phil Wyett 2019-03-27 00:34:34 UTC 
Still present on f30 pre beta ISO compose 1.8.
Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2019-03-27 01:41:31 UTC 
You were right the first time - 'wayland' is almost never the right component for a bug. Something in the GNOME stack is much more appropriate (possibly mutter or GTK+ or something rather than gnome-shell, but gnome-shell is close enough that the right people should see the bug).

I can't reproduce this bug here, though. Just tried on both my desktop and a test box I just installed Beta-1.8 on and, nope, not happening...
Comment 7 Chris Murphy 2019-03-27 02:55:51 UTC 
I can reproduce this on Fedora 30, GNOME on Wayland. I've seen this off and on since upgrading from Fedora 29 also GNOME on Wayland. But I don't think it's a blocker. Beta or final.

strace gnomeshell

strace of gnome shell while spinner is active (mostly). When I move the cursor away from the desktop area, spinner doesn't happen and gnome-shell uses ~1% CPU and then when over the desktop gnome-shell process uses ~25% CPU with spinner.
Comment 9 Geoffrey Marr 2019-03-27 14:14:54 UTC 
cmurf, what version of F30 are you running when you see this? Also, are you in a VM or baremetal?

I am -1 blocker based on the given criteria and my inability to reproduce this bug (baremetal). I believe the following might be a more appropriate criteria to present this as a blocker though, as I searched the F30 Basic and Beta criteria for one that officially would fit this bug:

"No part of any release-blocking desktop's panel (or equivalent) configuration may crash on startup or be entirely non-functional."

However, in either scenario, I do not believe this bug to violate either of the above, so -1 blocker from me.
Comment 10 Adam Williamson 2019-03-27 14:32:23 UTC 
this has nothing to do with the panel, though, really.
Comment 11 Chris Murphy 2019-03-27 16:04:43 UTC 
(In reply to Geoffrey Marr from comment #9)
> cmurf, what version of F30 are you running when you see this?

Latest from updates-testing. It was a F29 to F30 upgrade using gnome-software. 

o Also, are you
> in a VM or baremetal?

Baremetal. i915 graphics.

The spinner doesn't block anything from working, or require me to alter my interaction. But while it does increase my carbon footprint from time to time, we don't block on minor performance issues.
Comment 12 Ben Cotton 2019-03-28 20:44:17 UTC 
Discussed in the F30 Beta Go/No-Go meeting today[1]. We voted to reject this as a blocker because it does not violate any release criteria.

Comment 13 Phil Wyett 2019-03-28 22:04:46 UTC 
Was present on IRC for the meeting. Put forward the bug brought eyes upon it.

Would the bug rate mentioning in the release notes, even though not a blocker?

Changed component to mutter.

FYI: Fix due in mutter 3.32.1 due in this coming week.

PR's:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mutter/pull-request/16
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mutter/pull-request/17

Backport patch to fix timeout of application startup sequences (rhbz#1692135)

Not a blocker, so would like it in before freeze hits.

This is second submission of same patch, but was closed as advised 3.32.1 was imminent. That release of mutter has not happened.
Comment 22 Adam Williamson 2019-04-16 16:20:11 UTC 
The freeze already happened. This would need a freeze exception to go in before Final. Proposing.
Comment 23 Adam Williamson 2019-04-17 15:57:20 UTC 
Phil: both your PRs seem broken. I'll just do it myself.
Comment 24 Phil Wyett 2019-04-17 16:18:36 UTC 
Adam: Something gone sideways this morning and I should not do things when I am tired. Was fine, will try harder next time.
Comment 25 Adam Williamson 2019-04-17 16:34:39 UTC 
=) It seems like you started from an older checkout before my changes yesterday and that's what probably sent things sideways.
