Public bug reported: It happens very frequently that, after resuming from suspend, as soon as I enter my password into GDM, gnome-shell crashes. I initially see my windows appear for a moment (with titlebars, etc.), then gnome-shell crashes, the titlebars disappear, and I am unable to do interact with any windows. Eventually gnome-shell restarts itself and the titlebars and functionality are restored.
This doesn't happen 100% of the time, and I have not been able to find any correlation. In my syslog, I see lines like: Aug 10 14:30:49 hermes org.gnome.Shell.desktop[5325]: Window manager warning: Failed to set power save mode for output VGA-1: Permission denied Aug 10 14:30:49 hermes org.gnome.Shell.desktop[5325]: Window manager warning: Failed to set power save mode for output eDP-1: Permission denied Aug 10 14:30:58 hermes gnome-session[6503]: gnome-session-binary[6503]: WARNING: Application 'org.gnome.Shell.desktop' killed by signal 6 Aug 10 14:30:58 hermes gnome-session-binary[6503]: WARNING: Application 'org.gnome.Shell.desktop' killed by signal 6 This is on Ubuntu 17.04, gnome-shell 3.24.2-0ubuntu0.1, under Xorg with Intel HD 4600 graphics. I experience the same crashes under Wayland, making it *completely* unusable. At least under X I can still recover my session. This is particularly annoying because whenever gnome-shell dies, it triggers a separate issue that kills all active Firefox content processes, requiring me to restart Firefox as well. If there's a way to get some better debugging info for this, please let me know. ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1709994 Title: gnome-shell crashes often on unlock / resume from suspend To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1709994/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
