GDM is Gnome dependent and probably uses libsoup, but I probably know as much as you on this. Have you been looking at your logs after the occasion?
]]>Anyone any idea where libsoup comes into this (in terms of its use by gdm, I have no idea)? Or what could be causing the issue to only appear on occasion?
My original bug report/thread:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34987?project=1&cat[0]=2&string=libsoup
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162232
Symptoms (in order):
1. Upgrade using pacman -Syu (3.6->3.8)
2. Log in to GDM
3. No log in. Receive blank wallpaper, cursor and nothing else.
Fix:
I basically reset my locale settings. I’m based in Australia so I edited
/etc/locale.gen
and enabled
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_GB ISO-8859-1
and the entries for en_AU and en_US.
Next I created /etc/locale.conf and put in the following;
LANG="en_AU.UTF-8"

my cd-rom drive is not automounting.
here is the result of lsblk:

can someone help?
Are you sure that this is related to Gnome 3.8 update?
Anyway, try to check the
/etc/fstab
Also, do you have installed "udisks" and "udisks2" ?
Finally check the options at the auto-mount options in the "gnome-control-center" or something nearby (Removable Media).

According to forum etiquette "Public posts should be open, productive and inviting to all members" Yes, I want to invite to all member to discuss the general problems of Linux and also Arch Linux coz I criticize some aspects of it. You can see my posts in the first page of this topic, one months have passed since then that day. There havent been specific solution yet, I'm not young computer nerd, I cant lose time at every turn when I update my system because of that silly problems. Linux community and especially Arch Linux community should think about this subject. Yes it is a rolling distro but I didnt do any mistake. I've just update exactly 360 package approximately 900 mb, and it was successfully updated, there is no error or no warning, no conflict error etc. But then I rebooted it and what I saw, the problem is same and waiting for me, look the same as the previous one month. This must be definitely criticized!!! and be told as a public posts in here not at a personel blogs or website.
By the way I've been using archlinux for four years on my laptop everyday, and I'll keep going to use it as much as possible but day by day it's getting harder.
]]>I was able to solve reinstalling librsvg
pacman -Sy librsvg
At least this problem also occurs on nouveau and on older Intel cards which do not support SNA.
A 'workaround' is to switch to lightdm (you need to install a greeter, too - e.g. lightdm-gtk3-greeter) and to disable gdm using systemctl disable gdm.service.
PS: Also the thread topic might be changed to GDM 3.8 not working, as GNOME itself works correctly.
]]>I was able to solve reinstalling librsvg

I did a system upgrade (pacman -Syu) yesterday and had this issue upon boot today. Didn't reinstall gnome-extra or anything, just this package, and then rebooted. gdm logged me in smoothly afterwards instead of hanging.
Thanks ricardofunke!

Oh gosh! Obviously it was a problem with the gtk theme!!! Sorry!
I'm having this exact same problem and can't figure out how to solve it, anyone knows what to do?
]]>Am I totally wrong -- but the 20-intel.conf trick is only going to work if you have intel graphics right? So if you have NVIDIA or ATI graphics, this file really shouldn't matter correct? Possibly the reason it works for some but not others.
Yes, the Shell is not compatible with the intel's driver default acceleration mode. Don't have a clue about other cards.
