Summary0009010: Installing the 'Development Tools' group breaks Gnome on VMs without GPUs
DescriptionI ran a fresh install of Rocky 9.4. After booting the Gnome desktop worked fine. I then ran

sudo dnf groupinstall -y 'Development Tools'

then rebooted. Gnome will not start after this. I believe the relevant portion of /var/log/messages is this
