Thanks for the explanation, I can understand the difficulty and hope misbehaving external extensions don't affect the image of GNOME too much. I will reactivate the dock and repeat the steps in comments #1 and #3 at the next crash, although I'm unsure how that will bring new information as I

Regarding your other question; sandboxing would of course be best but that's something that would need to be designed from the ground up. And then new APIs specifically for sandboxed extensions would be needed. And then we would still find either most extensions want to do things not possible in

Bug 1951786 would not explain these crashes, it's just something I saw in your log. To track down the crashes further you would need to repeat the steps in comments #1 and #3. But at least it sounds like we can assign it to ubuntu-dock now. Probably. ** Package changed: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) =>

I'm sure the discussion has been held elsewhere, and there's been made a case against sandboxing them or handling their crashes, as lack of freedom would defeat the very purpose of these extensions? At any rate I'm happy to have reached a solution. 3 monitor unplugs without crashes convinces me

Extensions have free reign to do anything, including crash the shell. They are the causes of lots of our bugs. The alternative would be to disallow extensions which would be more stable but probably less popular. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

After a few more disconnects with the Ubuntu Dock disabled and no crashes, it sounds like the culprit may be the Ubuntu Dock. The solution should be relatively simple then (although I'm a bit shocked that it can take down mutter) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

Funnily, after disabling the Ubuntu Dock (have not yet logged out and in again) and unplugging my cable, there was no crash. Then again, the crashes are not consistent so I'll try again. This interferes with my work so much that I cannot test this constantly. -- You received this bug

The log in comment #12 seems to mostly match bug 1951786 so maybe try briefly disabling the Ubuntu Dock extension in the 'Extensions' app and then log in again. If that has not fixed the problem then please repeat the steps in comment #3. Then if you see the same messages as in comment #5 please
