Title:
gnome-shell brings down all running applications when crashing on
wayland
Status in GNOME Shell:
New
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in gnome-shell package in Fedora:
Unknown
Bug description:
If gnome-shell experiences a problem when running in a Wayland
session, it will terminate all graphical applications running via that
session.
When running via Xorg, this will not occur, with the added feature
that gnome-session may also be restarted manually via alt+f2 and 'r'.
This creates a single point of failure within the entire desktop
session, and I have personally experienced this and lost work on a
clean install with no extra GNOME extensions. Addressing this would
contribute greatly to Ubuntu's overall reliability and stability as a
desktop OS.
This issue has been raised elsewhere for Fedora at:
