Its milestone is part of Gnome 46. When will this be in the updates? This is a critical stability issue. ** Also affects: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Confirmed ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Description changed: In Ubuntu 24.04.1 Noble, with gnome-shell 46.0-0ubuntu (using Xorg), when I hit Alt-F2 r to restart Gnome Shell (useful when developing Gnome extensions) the Gnome Desktop freezes: I obtain a gray screen with the message "Oh no ! Something has done wrong, please contact your system administrator". This is fully reproducible on my three computers with the same 24.04.1 Ubuntu version. This worked in Ubuntu 22.04.x. + + It was confirmed and a fix has already been merged in mutter here: + https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3908 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2079799 Title: Restarting Gnome Shell with Alt-F2 R freezes Gnome in Xorg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/2079799/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
