Ok, actually that's not needed... Just use this: sudo gdb -p $(pidof gnome-shell) -batch \ -ex "set logging on" -ex continue \ -ex "bt full" -ex "call gjs_dumpstack()" \ -ex quit
This could be run from your session too and should not freeze anything. When you get a crash, just attach here the gdb.txt file that this should generate (saved in the directory where you launch this script from) and the content of journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1714989 Title: gnome-shell crashed with SIGSEGV in g_type_check_instance_cast() from st_label_set_text() (dash-to-panel specific?)
