Since the upgrade to Ubuntu 23.10 with Gnome45, it is no longer possible to restart gnome-shell without crashing the session. The only way not to crash it is to close all applications before restarting gnome-shell. This has already been fixed upstream at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3329 [ Test Plan ] 1. Log-in to a Ubuntu Xorg session 2. Open some application windows 3. Press Alt+F2 4. Type 'restart' and press Enter 5. Verify that the desktop reloaded correctly. 6. Verify that the application windows that were previously open remained open. [ Where problems could occur ] The change should only affect application windows that were open before gnome-shell take over as the x11 compositor, which is not the common use-case. There is a general regression potential in the handling of x11 windows, that is all apps in a GNOME Xorg session, or legacy apps that use XWayland (such as VLC, Mattermost, or most Electron and Java apps) in a GNOME Wayland session. Watch out for the correct behaviour when opening/closing application windows. ** Affects: gnome-shell Importance: Unknown Status: Fix Released ** Affects: mutter Importance: Unknown Status: Fix Released ** Affects: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released ** Affects: mutter (Ubuntu Noble) Importance: Medium Assignee: Alessandro Astone (aleasto) Status: Fix Released ** Affects: ubuntu-translations Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: fixed-in-mutter-46.4 fixed-upstream mantic udeng-5206 verification-done verification-done-noble -- Gnome 45 crash on restart in X11 session [Window manager error: Another compositing manager is already running on screen 0 on display “:0”] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2040453 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Translations Coordinators, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Translations. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-translations-coordinators Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-translations-coordinators More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
