Thanks for working on this. -- 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/1824657 Title: GNOME shell crash Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: I was watching a video on youtube with the Chromium snap browser, suddenly the GNOME shell crashed, no possibility to click for Chromium or other closure, but I managed to access a tty4 session, by pressing the keys: ctrl + alt + f4. Using Ubuntu 19.04 from the beginning of development, first with KDE, after I install GNOME with the metapackage: sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop, eliminating any KDE package, until now I have had no problem. full update, proposed repository disabled. I attach the logs from the time I had the problem, about 10:50 pm, I started with the logs at 10:40 pm with this command: journalctl --since "2019-04-13 22:40:00" ( if it is wrong, let him know) From the logs I see many gnome-shell errors, but obviously I can't decipher them if it was the cause of the problem.
