[Bug 1799787] Re: Dash to Dock behaves strangely then gnome-shell crashes when forcing a restart
After extensive testing I can now document how to reproduce the crash using four workspaces and four applications. With just one workspace enabled, several applications can be started and gnome-shell can be restarted with 'Alt F2 > r and enter' without issue. With multiple workspaces enabled, several applications can be started and gnome-shell can be restarted with 'Alt F2 > r and enter' provided all applications are started on the first workspace. With multiple workspaces enabled, if several applications are started on different workspaces then gnome-shell will crash if restarted with 'Alt F2 > r and enter'. My last application was started on workspace 4. I'm removing any references to the dock from this bug report as it was due to seeing issues which have been reported elsewhere that prompted me to restart gnome-shell. ** No longer affects: gnome-shell-extension-dashtodock (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - Dash to Dock behaves strangely then gnome-shell crashes when forcing a restart + gnome-shell crashes when forcing a restart if applications are started on multiple workspaces -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1799787 Title: gnome-shell crashes when forcing a restart if applications are started on multiple workspaces To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1799787/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1799787] Re: Dash to Dock behaves strangely then gnome-shell crashes when forcing a restart
Daniel, I would change the bug description but as I see someone else has also marked this bug as affecting them I'll leave that to you. :) I now think that the dash to dock bugs are those that have have already been reported elsewhere and are nothing to do with the crash. I would not have restarted gnome-shell if I had not seen issues with the dock. My most recent tests are telling me that if I reboot and start a number of applications, typically *four*, then gnome-shell will only crash if I start each of them on *different* workspaces. If I start four applications using the *same*a workspace then I can still restart gnome- shell with 'Alt F2 > r and enter'. I'm marking the gnome-shell element of this report as "Confirmed" as another user has marked this bug report as affecting them. I don't think that the dash to dock element of this report is now relevant. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1799787 Title: Dash to Dock behaves strangely then gnome-shell crashes when forcing a restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1799787/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The above link is actually bug 1796607. Interesting.

[Bug 1799787] Re: Dash to Dock behaves strangely then gnome-shell crashes when forcing a restart
Thanks for your reply Daniel. It's now looking as if the problems with the dash are a symptom of a crash rather than a cause. After rebooting and disabling all extensions I can restart gnome-shell with 'Alt F2 > r and enter' several times with a problem. After starting some applications gnome-shell won't restart without crashing and sending me back to the log in screen. Step 1 didn't lead to a new bug report being created. Step 2 didn't show anything recent Step 3 produced the following link: https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/1edb338e-d831-11e8-923b-fa163e102db1 but step 1 failed again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1799787 Title: Dash to Dock behaves strangely then gnome-shell crashes when forcing a restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1799787/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1799787] Re: Dash to Dock behaves strangely then gnome-shell crashes when forcing a restart
Firstly, please remove/disable all gnome-shell extensions as extensions are a common cause of bugs and crashes. You have a lot of them: b'org.gnome.shell' b'enabled-extensions' b"['user-theme@gnome-shell- extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'window-list@gnome-shell- extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'windowsNavigator@gnome-shell- extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'workspace-indicator@gnome-shell- extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'drive-menu@gnome-shell- extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'places-menu@gnome-shell- extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'screenshot-window-sizer@gnome-shell- extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'launch-new-instance@gnome-shell- extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'native-window-placement@gnome-shell- extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'auto-move-windows@gnome-shell- extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'alternate-tab@gnome-shell- extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'dash-to-d...@micxgx.gmail.com', 'openweather-extens...@jenslody.de', 'applications-overview- tooltip@RaphaelRochet', 'apt-update-indica...@franglais125.gmail.com', 'lockk...@vaina.lt', 'nohotcor...@azuri.free.fr', 'recentit...@bananenfisch.net', 'suspend-button@laserb', 'workspace- g...@mathematical.coffee.gmail.com', 'update- extensi...@franglais125.gmail.com', 'ubuntu-appindicat...@ubuntu.com']" If the problem persists without extensions then... Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It sounds like some part of the system has crashed. To help us find the cause of the crash please follow these steps: 1. Look in /var/crash for crash files and if found run: ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash Then tell us the ID of the newly-created bug. 2. If step 1 failed then look at https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/ID where ID is the content of file /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id on the machine. Do you find any links to recent problems on that page? If so then please send the links to us. 3. If step 2 also failed then apply the workaround from bug 994921, reboot, reproduce the crash, and retry step 1. Please take care to avoid attaching .crash files to bugs as we are unable to process them as file attachments. It would also be a security risk for yourself. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: gnome-shell-extension-dashtodock (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1799787 Title: Dash to Dock behaves strangely then gnome-shell crashes when forcing a restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1799787/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
