This is particularly bad on wayland as it causes the user to lose their sessions I believe this should also fix bug 1688208 and potentially a couple of other high ranking crashes on errors.ubuntu.com. I have not however found reliable reproducers for those other bugs. This error has been reported over 700 times on errors.ubuntu.com for Ubuntu GNOME 17.04. [Test Case] After update of libgweather 1. Ensure org.gnome.Weather.Application locations is not set (as per default setting) 2. Disable Location Services 3. gnome-shell should not crash [Regression Potential] Low, the patch merely fixes a refcounting bug. Given the high impact of this bug, this is an important fix. [Other Info] This updates libgweather from 3.24.0 to 3.24.1 https://git.gnome.org/browse/libgweather/log The guard_against_segfault commit was already present in Ubuntu 17.04. ==== Original bug report ==== The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding gnome-shell.
