Title:
GNOME Shell randomly crashed. Again.
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Unfortunately, this has become a daily occurrence (at least). This
time, I was working in the Guake terminal (as I am almost all the
time), when suddenly everything froze other than my mouse cursor. I
was actually trying to highlight a some text to copy when it happened.
Eventually, gnome-shell restarted itself, but it took at least 30
seconds (might have been 60? I wasn't keeping track), during which
time there was no indication to the user as to what was going on.
Aside from the bug itself, this provides a terrible user experience.
It also ensures that I absolutely cannot switch to Wayland until this
frequent crashing is resolved, or Gnome-shell under Wayland can crash
without taking down the entire desktop with it.
