Public bug reported:
I was just using the desktop in a regular way (a few Evince PDFs and
Chromium windows open only - with Flash disabled on all tabs if I recall
correctly). Then gnome-shell seemed to freeze.
No keyboard shortcuts or mouse clicks had any effect (although the mouse
pointer was moving, and CTRL+ALT+F1 was able to recover the session by
killing and restarting gnome-shell on DISPLAY=:0
This suggests to me that there was no issue with X or with any of my
programs (which are still running and interactive as they were before
the freeze).
This apport was gathered with gnome-shell from TTY1 with DISPLAY=:0 on
TTY7 still within its freeze state, and before the shell kill and
replace.
Incidentally I have to run...
xhost +local:root
...to be able to sudo any GTK programs to DISPLAY=:0 after a gnome-shell
--restart otherwise they segfault (e.g. ubuntu-bug segfaults). Next time I'll
remember to do this before running apport, as this bug may have corrupted or
limited the information gathered.
