Before i sudo dnf updated today, it was working fine. After the update, every time i login nothing works, the only thing i could do was move the mouse pointer. The keyboard or clicking on the mouse did not work. I tried restarting 3 times and it still doesn't work.
This happened to me as well.
I tried reloading and it still wasn't working. I also tried installing OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and ran into the exact same problem. I reloaded Fedora once I realized the problem was in my own $HOME.
The problem seems the be a rouge extension. I would clear your extensions -- specifically, the one that seems to be causing the issue is "Workspaces to Dock".
What I would do is hit ctrl+alt+f3 and then cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions.
Once in ls and then rm -rf the folder containing the "Workspaces to Dock" extension. If it still continues to clear all your extensions. If it still persists, clear all your Gnome settings but this should not be necessary if it is the same issue. Shame because it was my favorite extension. I hope there is a fix soon.
UPDATE: The newest version of the extension as it is in GitHub appears to work and does not lock up Gnome Shell.
The author of the extension said that Version 45 should be landing on the Gnome Extension website in the next few days and they have been slow to update the site because there have been a lot of submissions.
Thank you this fixed it for me too - sorry, but it won't allow me to "upvote"!

The problem occurs since yesterday,
You can login and enter your password but when you login into gnome the system don't response but you can move the mouse...

Howto chroot: in a LVM environment default fedora instalation :
sudo lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 149,1G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 1G 0 part /boot
└─sda2 8:2 0 148G 0 part
├─fedora-root 253:0 0 93,1G 0 lvm /
├─fedora-swap 253:1 0 3,7G 0 lvm [SWAP]
└─fedora-home 253:2 0 51,2G 0 lvm /home
sdb 8:16 0 931,5G 0 disk
└─sdb1 8:17 0 931,5G 0 part
sdc 8:32 0 186,3G 0 disk
└─sdc1 8:33 0 186,3G 0 part
sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom
then :
su -
mount /dev/fedora /root ./
mount /dev/fedora/home home/
mount -t proc proc proc/
mount --rbind /sys sys/
mount --rbind /dev dev/
mount --rbind /var/run var/run/
chroot /mnt
and then you can downgrade your packages or use the follow dnf command :
dnf history - here you obtain your command `number` and all the info
dnf history info #number#
dnf history undo #number#
Regards.,
As I mentioned earlier, I can log in as either ROOT or use a different window env (I'm using budgie).
I used the "Software Center" update mechanism and this DOESN'T seem to create a dnf history entry.
LESSON LEARNED: NEVER USE SOFTWARE STORE TO UPDATE THE OS.
I'm fortunate that Budgie is working fine and I prefer it, but this issue needs to get fixed by the Gnome maintainers as I am sure MANY people have this issue.
I have the same problem with my Dell Optiplex 755. I booted to level 3 and disabled Wayland in /etc/gdm/custom.conf, then rebooted and got the XServer login manager.
This is not a definite permanent solution so try the following:
- At grub menu, edit the boot with e and add nomodeset after quiet and hit CTRL+x to start the boot.
If you managed to login and able to interact with everything, then its a problem with GNOME DE with whatever video driver you have.
To install any of the drivers is something I havn't figured out yet. But if you want to set this current nomodeset as permanent with the low resolution and low graphic setting, do grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg for UEFI users. There's another that's for BIOS users to grub2-mkconfig but unable to find it.
I have the same issues reported when I upgraded my Dell Optiplex 755 GNOME Software from Fedora 27 to Fedora 28 on 5/1/2018. I followed the sudo dnf system-upgrade procedure to upgrade my Workstation. Upon reboot, the computer loads up to just before the user login screen and freezes. At this point nothing responds. I have rebooted several times and cannot even use The Live Image to install Fedora 28.
When I DOWNGRADE to try to use Fedora 27, still the system still freezes. Any ideas on boot workarounds to resolve this issue?
You might be able to solve this with:
dnf history - here you obtain your command `number` and all the info
dnf history info #number#
dnf history undo #number#
Since you were smart enough to use dnf to update.
Got the same problem on a home built system and a 2015 MacBook pro.
Occasionally after a bounce using journalctl -p err -b I will see that gnome-shell cored, but researching that hasn't been particularly fruitful - especially as I see the same problem if I boot into gnome classic or gnome xorg.
I've also tried with wayland enabled/disabled to no avail.

does Ctrl-Alt-F2 get you to another tty terminal, to login as root? if so then consider that your compiler may not match the previous kernel version, and if you use dkms to update video or other drivers, they may not load properly. if you do
dnf downgrade gccto the previous version, reinstall the drivers that use dkms, and then reboot, it will probably work.Nope keyboard is not working at all. PS: also the clock and weather is still working i just cant interact with the Desktop UI.
I have the same issue. I updated from GNOME Software. I can access another TTY but only from the login screen. Once I login no input is recognized, but the mouse still works. The weather and clock still works, as do notifications. I tried GNOME Wayland, XOrg X11, and Classic and no change. I'm on a Dell XPS 9350, i5 version if that helps. I downgraded GCC as the above poster recommended but no dice. DKMS wasn't even installed.
I have since updated the system again and no change.
I can confirm that a clean install followed by an update lends the same error. Rolling the transaction back returns the system to a functional state. I'm not sure what the offending package is.
