yeah, I haven't necessarily reported every crash I've experienced in launchpad as I've been restarting gnome-shell quite a bit when updating my extensions to gnome45 and couldn't be sure whether the crash was caused by the extension or gnome-shell itself.
This crash on the other hand stayed when I upgraded on bare metal and was also reported by a number of people contributing to gnome-extensions which is why I felt it was worth investigating. I have seen extensions commenting on this in their ReadMe and I'm yet to find someone who isn't experiencing a crash when restarting gnome-shell on X11. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2040453 Title: Gnome 45 crash on restart in X11 session [Window manager error: Another compositing manager is already running on screen 0 on display “:0”] Status in GNOME Shell: Unknown Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hello, Since the upgrade to Ubuntu 23.10 with Gnome45, it is no longer possible to restart gnome-shell without crashing the session.
