I know bugs like this are frustrating, but increasing their severity does not help to find their root causes and fix them. The gnome-shell and mutter packages are still at the same version in stable and testng/unstable, but all the recent reports of GNOME Shell crashes on suspend, lid-close or monitor plug/unplug seem to have been with testing/unstable, not stable, so I think this is probably a regression in some other component, or a GNOME Shell or Mutter bug that is triggered by a change in some other component. (Unless someone has information to the contrary?) If that theory is correct, then selectively downgrading gnome-shell dependencies to the versions from buster might help; if it does, reporting which downgrade(s) were successful would be very useful in tracking down what is wrong and how to fix it. Based on https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=932428#10 I would start with the Mesa libraries, GLib or GTK 3. > Even connecting secondary display causes GNOME shell to > crash with same crash dump as before. This *is* useful information: it links the recent reports of crashes on suspend/lid close with other recent reports of crashes on monitor hotplug. Please could you send an example backtrace to confirm that it's the same? Thanks, smcv
