Daniel, yes, this is the same crash as in bug 1787512. It's not a duplicate IMO, since I'd researched the exact repro steps. Any developer can trigger the crash now, by following the repro steps. That's why I didn't use ubuntu-bug either; just follow the repro steps and trigger the crash

Please NOTE: the report is against gnome-shell, NOT indicator-multiload! It's not so important to fix the indicator app. Rather, gnome-shell needs to become sturdier. There's a change to be made to gnome-shell so that it perseveres assertion failures and keeps running. Lurking around, I've seen

Hey Daniel! I hope you'll take a look here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1844354 TL;DR: I'd distilled the issue and worked out a gnome-shell crasher to reproduce this in clean VM. Hope that helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

The repro steps aren't as exact as I'd like, since I found this on a live machine with long history of rough usage (including wiping /var by accident, and restoring from there), so the steps are a bit difficult to isolate. I'll try refining the steps as needed in a VM. -- You received this bug

Found it. In my case, this crash was triggered by .config/autostart/indicator- multiload.desktop If I rm the autostart file, gnome-shell logs in and works fine. If run directly, indicator-multiload crashes gnome-shell. Package version 0.4-0ubuntu5. -- You received this bug notification

@vanvugt hi! Nice triage, appreciated. Confirming I now have had this on 18.04, gnome-shell version 3.28.4-0ubuntu18.04.1. *Removing or renaming $HOME/.config*, as a universal workaround, also works in this case. I'm going to test if disabling search-providers (as mentioned in #1722599) helps,
