@eddgrant Sorry, I rushed my previous comment a bit. I'll elaborate below. To start with the good news: upgrading libmutter to the proposed version has fixed the IntelliJ crash problem. I haven't had any trouble since.
I was referring to the article https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed, referenced by @sil2100 in #10. It first instructs you how to enable proposed updates, and then, in the paragraph "Selective upgrading from proposed", to pin packages to their current versions (i.e. stable, not proposed), by creating `/etc/apt/preferences.d/proposed-updates` with this content: ``` Package: * Pin: release a=eoan-proposed Pin-Priority: 400 ``` The article reads `xenial`, not `eoan`, but I'm assuming you made that substitution, because we're dealing with Ubuntu 19.10 here, not 18.04. If you did all this, then that would prevent `apt upgrade` from upgrading ALL packages from `eoan-proposed`. That's good, because we're only interested in testing the fix for `mutter`, not the hundreds of other proposed packages. However, if you then continue to follow instructions from that same page, you would end up doing something like: `sudo apt-get install mutter/eoan-proposed` This won't work as intended, because the new version of mutter depends on new versions of some other stuff (like libmutter, probably), also in eoan-proposed, but apt won't see it because it has been pinned by the pin file you created. The proper way of going about this, then, is to: - comment the contents of the `/etc/apt/preferences.d/proposed-updates` with #'s - run `sudo apt-get install libmutter-5-0/eoan-proposed mutter/eoan-proposed` - uncomment again, to make sure you won't cut yourself on the bleeding edge of some other update Good luck! -- 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/1845281 Title: gnome-shell crashed with SIGABRT in __GI_raise() from __GI_abort() from g_assertion_message() from g_assertion_message_expr() from meta_window_get_workspaces() [assertion failure "code should not be reached"] Status in Mutter: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in mutter source package in Eoan: Fix Committed Bug description: [ Description ] Intellij and other java apps can cause GNOME shell to crash [ Test case ] 1) Run this test case: https://gitlab.gnome.org/3v1n0/mutter/snippets/956 2) Windows should appear and close correctly while Gnome shell must not crash [ Regression potential ] Parent-child relationship on some windows might be broken. --- The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding gnome-shell.
