I'm running Fedora 36 as a VirtualBox guest under a Debian stable host. I am fully updated. Very soon after logging in, I get thrown out of the session and logged out. It could take a few minutes until it happens, but sometimes it occurs in less than one minute after logging in. There have been times when I was thrown out immediately after my login was accepted. There is usually no error message. If there is one, it says in part "Oops! We're sorry it looks like an error occurred in a component." (The message doesn't stay on the screen long enough for me to copy the rest of it.) A few times a second error message came up, but I wasn't able to copy it at all. But I believe it was reporting that Gnome had crashed. What steps can I take to resolve this problem?

Look at the guest's journal:

Sometimes I get thrown out and logged out before I can even finish typing that command into the terminal. One time I did manage to type it. I looked at the logged data, but I don't know what to look for. Nothing stood out as a likely cause of trouble.

Serena-

I think something hinky is going on with fedora 36. Someone kept locking me out of the system. I got similar behaviors where I got kicked out of stuff.

I love fedora but I am going to have to use something different.

Please make sure you back up your stuff.

I ran 2 full scans of my windows system with ESET and Bitdefender. They came back clean.
