As part of a recent change in the Stable Release Update verification policy we would like to inform that for a bug to be considered verified for a given release a verification-done-$RELEASE tag needs to be added to the bug where $RELEASE is the name of the series the package that was tested (e.g. verification-done-xenial). Please note that the global 'verification-done' tag can no longer be used for this purpose.

This is particularly bad for GNOME on Wayland as a gnome-shell crash will causes the user to lose their sessions. (GNOME Shell 3.24 introduced a new weather feature in the clock menu.) This particular error has been reported over 1000 times to errors.ubuntu.com from Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 and was also a Fedora 26 blocker bug. Test Case ========= The number of crashes reported on errors.ubuntu.com for gnome-shell should be significantly lower once this new version of libgweather rolls out. Because e.u.com links this issue with gnome-shell, this is difficult to verify except that if you run gnome-shell, it shouldn't crash so often especially when first logging in. Regression Potential ==================== The main new commit here had already been cherry-picked by Fedora and in Ubuntu 17.10 Alpha. Considering the previous The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding gnome-shell. This problem was most recently seen with package version 3.24.1-0ubuntu3, the problem page at https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/39b6625ed47999dab38b064b2d91bde1e11dec62 contains more details, including versions of packages affected, stacktrace or traceback, and individual crash reports.
