That's very unusual. Please start by deleting any local extensions: cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/ rm -rf extensions
and then log in again. If the bug still occurs after that then please follow these steps: 1. Run these commands: journalctl -b0 > journal.txt journalctl -b-1 > prevjournal.txt and attach the resulting text files here. 2. Look in /var/crash for crash files and if found run: ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash Then tell us the ID of the newly-created bug. 3. If step 2 failed then look at https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/ID where ID is the content of file /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id on the machine. Do you find any links to recent problems on that page? If so then please send the links to us. Please take care to avoid attaching .crash files to bugs as we are unable to process them as file attachments. It would also be a security risk for yourself. ** Tags added: noble ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- 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/2056506 Title: GNOME Shell crashes when I close any application Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I'm using Noble for sometime and I'm having a very annoying and odd problem: everytime I close an application on x11 (Wayland doesn't work any better) clicking with the right button in the dock and choosing "Quit" I got that screen saying that something went wrong and I need to close the session and start over.
