just had another crash, with all the extensions disabled. I tried
running ubuntu-bug on the crash file, but it didn't give me a bug to
link in here, not sure why. the error it reported is:
"gnome-shell crashed with signal 5 in meta_window_actor_thaw()"

Title:
gnome-shell on 20.10 crashes all the time
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
this is probably a dupe of a bunch of other gnome-shell crashing bugs.
just noting that since upgrading to 20.10, both my systems (which use
the nvidia binary X drivers) have gnome-shell crashing multiple times
a day. it restarts fine, but while it's crashing it locks up the whole
system for a minute or two. no idea why the release in 20.10 is so
much more unstable than 20.04, but here we are.
as a starting point, how do I track down what it considers the cause
of the crashes? I can't discern anything particularly useful from
`journalctl` at first glance. is there a specific error message I can
search for in all the noise to find where it crashed and see what
happened right before that? I see a lot of these in the logs, but they
seem to be non-fatal, and they also don't print out any actual stack
traces to examine:
