Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.
If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart. Now open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit. If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'. I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- 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/1730728 Title: gnome-shell crashes randomly, error in libgobject-2.0.so.0.5400.1 Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: It happens daily, 2 or 3 times. But I don't know what triggers it, and I can't reproduce it. Last time it happened I wasn't even in front of the computer, and only firefox, thunderbird and skypeforlinux were opened (if I'm not mistaken). clamd was running as well. But each time it happened, the following has been logged in syslog: kernel: [22818.213847] traps: gnome-shell[3063] general protection ip:7f58ba1eacdf sp:7fff1dad5578 error:0 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.5400.1[7f58ba1b5000+52000] Opening a virtual console (like ctrl+shift+f3) was still possible.
