I have a similar/related problem that began occuring after upgrading to ubuntu 12.04, but mine occurs during boot. Approximately 1 out of 5 times, the boot fails with a segfault in libfreetype.so.6.8.0 when gnome-shell starts up. It exibits 2 different symptoms. To recover from either, I ctrl+alt+f2 login and reboot. Have not tried any of the other restart options or fixes yet, but will report results when available.

@fig do you have the latest gnome-shell via ppa? Maybe only if you use the newest gnome-shell and the modal setting it fixes the bug. :) @Deepak Did you check if the modal setting got updated? Just open gedit, type something and close it. The dialog that pops up has to be moveable without moving gedit else it didn't work. I'm just asking as copy/pasting the line might not have worked.

Now if the shell crashes and you cant get the text focus to a terminal to type this manually, you can right-click on the Desktop and "Open in terminal"; then from the Terminal File menu, select File->Open Tab->Restart Shell."

Thanks for the feedback Hugo. I am using Gnome Shell, but F2 on its own doesn't bring up the run dialog. I typically use Alt-F2 and the press r to restart gnome shell. However, this doesn't work when I experience the symptoms described in this bug report. I have to do Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and restart my entire gnome session (which, obviously, is a pain).

[Bug 889706] Re: Gnome-shell randomly crashes
Hi Deepak. did you make sure you used the Gnome solution at point 3 and not the Cinnamon version? Because Alt+F2 is for Cinnamon, for Gnome it's just F2 then enter r and hit Return. If a crash happens the shell should restart itself. Sometimes it doesn't (what seems like what you described). You can also try installing the newest Gnome-shell via ppa: ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 You system may be more unstable this way but I did it and nothing changed for me. (There will be a lot more updates with this ppa.) The problem with MATE is that it's not developed anymore as far as I know. :( (But that doesn't mean you can't still use it. :)) ** Description changed: NOTICE: If your problem no longer occurs, please report your graphics card/integrated graphics.

[Bug 889706] Re: Gnome-shell randomly crashes
I am using LInux Mint 12 x64, Gnome Shell version 3.2.2.1. Laptop: Lenovo T61, Graphics: Intel 965GM. I have been experiencing this problem since installing Linux Mint nearly 2 months ago. I have tried solutions 1 and 3, but crashes still occur. That is, various applications in the gnome shell and the shell itself will be unresponsive, and then eventually (within 5-10 seconds) all the windows become unresponsive. Alt-F2 doesn't work. I have to restart using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. I would say this happens on average once a day for me. In case this is relevant, the application I run regularly are Chrome, Thunderbird, and Terminal. I frequently switch between virtual desktop, but I don't think the crashes happen exclusively when I do this. I'm pretty close to just scrapping gnome shell and using MATE instead. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/889706 Title: Gnome-shell randomly crashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/889706/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 889706] Re: Gnome-shell randomly crashes
I had lots of such crashes in Gnome-shell (3.0 or 3.2, did not test with 3.4). See comment #236 I suspected a mis-behaviour in how modal windows operate. Indeed, switching the way they are attached to the parent window completely solved the problem.

UPDATE: I booted into recovery mode, ran sudo apt-get remove fglrx. Booted into mint12, installed the full catalyst drivers (12.3) direct from ATI website. This fixed the Italic tooltips for me and seems to have reduced the Shell crashes but they are still present.
