Please NOTE: the report is against gnome-shell, NOT indicator-multiload! It's not so important to fix the indicator app. Rather, gnome-shell needs to become sturdier.
There's a change to be made to gnome-shell so that it perseveres assertion failures and keeps running. Lurking around, I've seen plentiful variations of gnome-shell assertion- crashing posted, with varying backtraces. I've also personally witnessed, on multiple occasions, "Ubuntu dying" as they say, with very similar symptoms and the exact same workaround, mv ~/.config{,.bugz}. Mind that, in each of that crash story, reported and not, we've caused suffering and disappointment in hundreds of people. The data is there at errors.ubuntu.com waiting for you to check out. Now that I've spent a day unearthing a concrete working reproducer, can I expect a *PROPER FIX* for this disaster, not just a measly patch-over as dozens of bugs before? -- 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/1844354 Title: Starting indicator-multiload (with peculiar config) crashes gnome- shell To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1844354/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
