André, this is something we discussed a bit upstream (see comments starting from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788931#c61).
So as said it would be better not to make it crash, the shell too... However it's something gjs should probably handle better, but I'm not sure how this is something that could be wanted or not upstream. I'm looking how to manage that, though. It's even true that those extensions should not play with objects that might have been destroyed on their async functions, then they need to be fixed too. -- 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/1714989 Title: gnome-shell crashed with SIGSEGV in g_type_check_instance_cast() from st_label_set_text() from ffi_call_unix64() Status in GNOME Shell: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Saw some reports with the same title but they're all for previous versions. error report: https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/1c95cc2653ab00054b5d1764e41d974328a5f49d ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: gnome-shell 3.25.91-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.12.0-12.13-generic 4.12.8 Uname: Linux 4.12.0-12-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Mon Sep 4 16:52:13 2017 DisplayManager: gdm3 EcryptfsInUse: Yes ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gnome-shell InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-04-21 (135 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Release amd64 (20170412) ProcCmdline: /usr/bin/gnome-shell ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_GB:en PATH=(custom, user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SegvAnalysis: Segfault happened at: 0x7fd97c8e7e5d <g_type_check_instance_cast+77>: movzbl 0x16(%rax),%edx PC (0x7fd97c8e7e5d) ok source "0x16(%rax)" (0x0000eb1e) not located in a known VMA region (needed readable region)! destination "%edx" ok SegvReason: reading NULL VMA Signal: 11 SourcePackage: gnome-shell StacktraceTop: g_type_check_instance_cast () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgobject-2.0.so.0 st_label_set_text () from /usr/lib/gnome-shell/libst-1.0.so ffi_call_unix64 () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.6 ffi_call () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.6 ??
