Public bug reported:
Title: gnome-shell crashes (SIGTRAP in mutter-mtk) when launching
Spotify snap with NVIDIA 595.58.03 on hybrid GPU
Description:
Launching the Spotify snap (v1.2.84.475, Chromium/CEF-based) while
Google Chrome is running causes gnome-shell to crash with SIGTRAP,
resulting in a GDM logout. This is a regression — the same configuration
worked without issue on NVIDIA driver 580.142.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot Ubuntu 24.04 with NVIDIA driver 595.58.03 (open kernel module) on a
hybrid Intel/NVIDIA GPU laptop
2. Log into a GNOME session
3. Open Google Chrome
4. Launch the Spotify snap from the app menu
Expected: Spotify opens normally alongside Chrome.
Actual: gnome-shell crashes immediately. GDM restarts and the user is
logged out. Crash reports are generated for both /usr/bin/gnome-shell
and /opt/google/chrome/chrome.
Crash details from /var/crash/_usr_bin_gnome-shell.1000.crash:
• Signal: 5 (SIGTRAP)
• Stack trace top: g_log_structured_array() → g_log_default_handler() →
g_logv() → g_log() → ?? () from libmutter-mtk-14.so.0
• Prior X error in journal: gnome-shell: Received an X Window System error:
BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) on MIT-SHM minor_code 4
Workaround: Launching Spotify with --disable-gpu --disable-gpu-
compositing and LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 prevents the crash.
Environment:
• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble), fresh install
• Kernel: 6.17.0-23-generic
• NVIDIA driver: 595.58.03-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 (open kernel module, DKMS)
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Max-Q (AD106M) + Intel Raptor Lake UHD (hybrid)
• gnome-shell: 46.0-0ubuntu6~24.04.14
• mutter: 46.2-1ubuntu0.24.04.15
• Spotify snap: 1.2.84.475 (rev 93, Chromium 144.0.7559.97)
• Previous driver (working): nvidia-driver-580 (580.142)
Regression: Upgrading from nvidia-driver-580 (580.142) to nvidia-
driver-595 (595.58.03) introduced this crash. No other system changes
were made.
