[13704.632087] gnome-shell[9051]: segfault at 82 ip 00007f3e7e900de2 sp
00007fff6078c200 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.5400.1[7f3e7e8cb000+52000]
}}}
Stack trace is roughly:
* g_type_check_instance_cast() at libgobject-2.0.so.0
* st_label_set_text() at libst-1.0.so
...
My setup:
* dual monitors
* multiple local users
* often 2x users logged in at same time
* flip between them using PTY (CTRL+ALT+ F2, F3, etc.)
* CTRL+ALT+F1 gets us to the gdm login screen (user selection)
What happens:
* eventually either by timeout (or after suspend), or manual lock screen
* user hits CTRL+ALT+F2,3,X, to access their PTY
* screen may or may not be locked; (user logs in)
* user hits "ALT+F2", and types "r" + <ENTER> (gnome-shell --replace)
Reproducibility:
* happened a few times since upgrade to Ubuntu 17.10
* happened immediately after running "r"
Issue Analysis:
* none - need guidance on how to debug/isolate next time it happens
