*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1505409 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1505409
JournalErrors.txt is showing that Xwayland crashed, which is a fatal error for gnome-shell and it gives up. So that would make this a duplicate of bug 1505409 or bug 1556601. However the same log shows other shell crashes too: Sep 15 16:28:21 hostname gnome-shell[1393]: meta_renderer_native_release_onscreen: assertion 'onscreen_native->gbm.next_fb_id == 0' failed Sep 15 16:28:21 hostname gnome-shell[1393]: _cogl_onscreen_free: assertion 'onscreen->winsys == ((void *)0)' failed and Sep 15 17:38:43 hostname gnome-shell[10327]: clutter_actor_is_visible: assertion 'CLUTTER_IS_ACTOR (self)' failed Sep 15 17:39:02 hostname gnome-shell[10327]: remove_mnemonics: assertion 'label != NULL' failed and Sep 18 08:05:58 hostname gnome-shell[10327]: clutter_actor_lower: Actor of type ClutterActor is not inside a container Sep 18 08:05:58 hostname gnome-shell[10327]: _cogl_pipeline_override_uniform: assertion 'cogl_is_pipeline (pipeline)' failed So you're getting a bunch of different crashes that each need their own bug reports. I suggest we close this bug because it's become conflated, and then pursue each crash with separate bug reports. Either wait till you can get a .crash file or stack trace, or wait till one of those assertions reoccurs and log a new bug about that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1717928 Title: gnome crashes when using qemu display Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Using the qemu vga display under gnome is reliably causing gnome to crash on my laptop. I've seen this when using libvirt and also when invoking qemu from the command line. I've tried several display options for qemu: -vga qxl -vga virtio -display gtk All result in the crash. No crash report is appearing in /var/crash after this happens, but I checked dmesg the last time and found this: [15078.446564] gnome-shell[10327]: segfault at 8 ip 00007f4c53c794af sp 00007ffd7eb03e90 error 4 in libmutter-cogl-1.so[7f4c53c14000+a5000] The crash usually doesn't happen right away. Sometimes it happens a few seconds after the display is opened, other times it's happened when I've moved to another window and then select the qemu display using Alt-Tab.
