Hi again,
I removed the old crash file and re-created and trapped the crash. It's not corrupted anymore. however, I just tried to report the bug 3 times but I keep getting 502 error. :/ (see attachment) ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2017-10-26 00-44-52.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1725932/+attachment/4994496/+files/Screenshot%20from%202017-10-26%2000-44-52.png -- 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/1725932 Title: gnome-shell freezes randomly Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: +++UBUNTU RELEASE+++ Description: Ubuntu 17.10 Release: 17.10 +++PACKAGE VERSION+++ gnome-shell: Installed: 3.26.1-0ubuntu5 Candidate: 3.26.1-0ubuntu5 Version table: *** 3.26.1-0ubuntu5 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-proposed/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.26.1-0ubuntu4 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful/main amd64 Packages First found this bug when I copied some files into /opt/ via root access nautilus. After clicking on another window, Ubuntu froze. This happened again and possibly recreated by performing root operations and navigating around gnome.
