Hi there, I have the same issue. It began with yesterdays upgrade. Log attached.
There were some hints in .xsession-error, which were related to the (status-?)bar and probably only the result of the gnome-shell failure. Unfortunately I don't have them anymore. But the segfaults were reported in my syslog too: > grep -rn gnome-shell /var/log/syslog.1 > 1409:May 16 23:34:02 haktar kernel: [21279.379061] gnome-shell[6582]: > segfault at 1046c748 ip 00007fa1495df630 sp 00007fffbc721780 error 4 in > libgobject-2.0.so.0.3200.2 (deleted)[7fa1495ac000+4e000] > 1411:May 16 23:34:06 haktar x-session-manager[6482]: WARNING: Application > 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal 11 > 1418:May 16 23:34:31 haktar kernel: [21308.845658] gnome-shell[27143]: > segfault at 1 ip 00007f0964162ada sp 00007fff63b704e0 error 4 in > libc-2.13.so[7f096411e000+17d000] > 1419:May 16 23:34:31 haktar x-session-manager[6482]: WARNING: App > 'gnome-shell.desktop' respawning too quickly > 1420:May 16 23:34:32 haktar x-session-manager[6482]: WARNING: Application > 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal 11 > 1566:May 16 23:37:42 haktar kernel: [21499.959532] gnome-shell[4302]: > segfault at 2e0000004b1 ip 00007f80069d5970 sp 00007fffeaf9f780 error 4 in > libaccountsservice.so.0.0.0[7f80069bf000+3c000] > 1567:May 16 23:37:42 haktar x-session-manager[4215]: WARNING: Application > 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal 11 > 1568:May 16 23:37:58 haktar kernel: [21515.964946] gnome-shell[4519]: > segfault at 320000004a8 ip 00007fabc89d5970 sp 00007fffec369c90 error 4 in > libaccountsservice.so.0.0.0[7fabc89bf000+3c000] > 1569:May 16 23:37:58 haktar x-session-manager[4215]: WARNING: App > 'gnome-shell.desktop' respawning too quickly > 1570:May 16 23:37:59 haktar x-session-manager[4215]: WARNING: Application > 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal 11 > 1586:May 16 23:39:02 haktar kernel: [21579.450905] gnome-shell[4794]: > segfault at 7f6d00000070 ip 00007f6dbf5d5970 sp 00007fff58b949b0 error 4 in > libaccountsservice.so.0.0.0[7f6dbf5bf000+3c000] > 1587:May 16 23:39:02 haktar x-session-manager[4707]: WARNING: Application > 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal 11 > 1588:May 16 23:39:34 haktar kernel: [21611.463628] gnome-shell[5089]: > segfault at 93000000fb ip 00007fe9189d5970 sp 00007fffda7a8f30 error 4 in > libaccountsservice.so.0.0.0[7fe9189bf000+3c000] > 1589:May 16 23:39:34 haktar x-session-manager[4707]: WARNING: App > 'gnome-shell.desktop' respawning too quickly > 1590:May 16 23:39:34 haktar x-session-manager[4707]: WARNING: Application > 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal 11 > 3058:May 16 23:46:44 haktar kernel: [ 153.366509] gnome-shell[3831]: > segfault at 70 ip 00007f9ba10d5970 sp 00007fff78ccef00 error 4 in > libaccountsservice.so.0.0.0[7f9ba10bf000+3c000] > 3059:May 16 23:46:44 haktar x-session-manager[3667]: WARNING: Application > 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal 11 How can this be debugged? Is there any possibility to create a backtrace? Where are the debugging symbols then - or do I need to rebuild gnome-shell without stripping them? Regards, Daniel
