Well, my bug #1756036 just got (automatically-i-think) marked as a duplicate of this one, and I'm on 18.04 (gnome-shell 3.27.92-0ubuntu1) So that's one, Daniel. ;-) I'd been getting this on some mornings, but the bug report was getting rejected because of outdated packages until this morning. Interestingly it doesn't seem to happen again later in the day, so, as noted before, length-of-sleep may be a factor.
I reported a lot on these bugs in 17.10, until I eventually gave up and just used my (half-the-speed) mac for a while. Freshly-installed 18.04 and tried again, and I *am* having far less trouble. When it does go wrong, it "fails better", in that it seems to recover reasonably well and leave me with a working session, even if there are a couple of side- effects (eg: having both dash-to-dock and the dash in activities/applications) which clear on an orderly logout/login. -- 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/1724439 Title: gnome-shell crashed with SIGSEGV in meta_window_get_monitor() from ffi_call_unix64() from ffi_call() from gjs_invoke_c_function() from function_call() Status in Mutter: In Progress Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/3e662975e4b7e6829b9d68d1c2b06f429e44c854 --- left virtual box to update win10 came back and got error message ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: gnome-shell 3.26.1-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-16.19-generic 4.13.4 Uname: Linux 4.13.0-16-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CrashCounter: 1 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Tue Oct 17 23:37:32 2017 DisplayManager: gdm3 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gnome-shell InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-04-18 (182 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Release amd64 (20170412) ProcCmdline: /usr/bin/gnome-shell ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SegvAnalysis: Segfault happened at: 0x7feb2ed42d94 <meta_window_get_monitor+4>: mov 0x18(%rax),%eax PC (0x7feb2ed42d94) ok source "0x18(%rax)" (0x00000018) not located in a known VMA region (needed readable region)! destination "%eax" ok SegvReason: reading NULL VMA Signal: 11 SourcePackage: gnome-shell StacktraceTop: meta_window_get_monitor () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmutter-1.so.0 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 ??
