Bug#948288: gnome-shell reproducibly crashes on boot, and the boot process gets stuck

2020-05-05 Thread Bernhard Übelacker
Hello Md, not involved in packaging or development I was just trying to collect more information about the crash for the maintainer. I guess reassigning might not be a bad idea and might give some feedback. Another option would be to open an issue in the upstream bug tracker (please put links here

Dear Bernhard, As to what happens with nomodeset, I posted another bug report against gdm3: http://bugs.debian.org/950504. There, we probably won't have to deal with a gnome-shell segfault and Mesa issues that we have to deal with here. Best regards, Md Ayquassar

First, thanks for a quick response. Second, is a reassignment to some Mesa package required? Third, is there anything else I can do as a user to help the developers to bugfix this? Bug at line 1017 is strange: if there is a NULL dereference there, there should also probably be one in line 1016 un

Hello Md Ayquassar, sorry, I did not recognize that you seem to have a usrmerge'd system. Then I get following backtraces from your core dump, with and without debug symbols. It looks like a function pointer gets called unconditionally, while containing NULL. Seems to be graphics driver related.

Hello Md Ayquassar, I am not involved in packaging gnome-shell, but may have some pointers to gather some more informations for the maintainer. You could try to install the package systemd-coredump. That way the output of 'journalctl --no-pager' should give some information where the crash happene
