Public bug reported: If gnome-shell experiences a problem when running in a Wayland session, it will terminate all graphical applications running via that session.
When running via Xorg, this will not occur, with the added feature that gnome-session may also be restarted manually via alt+f2 and 'r'. This creates a single point of failure within the entire desktop session, and I have personally experienced this and lost work on a clean install with no extra GNOME extensions. Addressing this would contribute greatly to Ubuntu's overall reliability and stability as a desktop OS. This issue has been raised elsewhere for Fedora at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1367666 There is an upstream bug filed at: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome- shell/-/issues/5634 ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: desktop gnome gnome-session reliability stability wayland -- 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/2026630 Title: gnome-shell brings down all running applications when crashing on wayland Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: If gnome-shell experiences a problem when running in a Wayland session, it will terminate all graphical applications running via that session.
