Good morning everyone,

I run Fedora 27 on Dell Laptop

I'm experiencing a strange issue, since this morning, after updating as usual. When I connect any device in the USB the Gnome desktop (running on Xorg, but do the same also on Wayland) automatically logs out from the session and re-logging in brings me back to the log in screen, in loop.

Trying to use KDE works like a charme.

Can you let me know which log files to check to understand what's happening and provide further informations for troubleshooting?

Kernel 4.14.14-300.fc27.x8664 #1 SMP Fri Jan 19 13:19:54 UTC 2018 x8664 x8664 x8664 GNU/Linux GNOME Shell 3.26.2

thank you very much

Daniele

this seems to be a BUG, just received an answer on IRC:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug....

Disabled Places Status Indicator as per comment 10+ and everything is now working fine!

cheers

Same problem here , Thought that it was the new kernel update but had the same on previous kernel , After searching i found out that the problem is with the Places status indicator after disabling it ,Problem solved https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-...

I have the same problem here. It does seem to be iPhone related because I can plug in a portable USB drive and everything works as expected. There was a new libimobiledevice (version 1.2.0-13) in the update right before this happened.
