Same problem here. Fresh install of Linux Mint 12 x64. After boot, when I hit enter key for the first time, screen goes blank and I'm logged out. This happens when hitting enter after the password, or, if automatic login is enabled, in gedit (boot, start gedit, type "foo", hit enter => logoff). Or: Boot, move mouse to upper left corner, type gedit, hit enter key to execute => logoff.
After this has happend once, It does not reoccur until next boot. -------------- Next, gnome shell crashes randomly during work. IT respawns and usualy, all windows, open documents etc are still there. However, It happend a few times that the desktop was unusable because windows did not react to the mouse, or the Alt+Tab-Window did not vanish any more. cat /var/log/syslog | grep segfault Dec 29 11:26:58 k1 kernel: [ 827.562830] gnome-shell[2164]: segfault at 3eb5a50a1 ip 00007f78183630a8 sp 00007fff209b5f00 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7f7818303000+f4000] Dec 29 11:30:15 k1 kernel: [ 1023.908080] gnome-shell[2552]: segfault at 2ed349008 ip 00007fa9735130a8 sp 00007fff6dfaa8a0 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7fa9734b3000+f4000] Dec 29 12:04:09 k1 kernel: [ 3052.122827] gnome-shell[2752]: segfault at 4a50870b5 ip 00007f2fad9190a8 sp 00007fff3c25eac0 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7f2fad8b9000+f4000] Dec 29 12:06:13 k1 kernel: [ 3175.714029] gnome-shell[3077]: segfault at 5fb62d107 ip 00007fa446f3c0a8 sp 00007fffef37c0e0 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7fa446edc000+f4000] Dec 29 14:01:01 k1 kernel: [ 127.622681] cinnamon[1893]: segfault at 1cbbde008 ip 00007fcff08f50a8 sp 00007fff888eb0c0 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7fcff0895000+f4000] Dec 29 14:31:46 k1 kernel: [ 1967.295877] gnome-shell[2386]: segfault at 3e6395008 ip 00007f2ead2ac0a8 sp 00007fffe20a62f0 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7f2ead24c000+f4000] Dec 29 14:40:22 k1 kernel: [ 2481.648166] gnome-shell[6055]: segfault at 1dd41e008 ip 00007fbf8138f0a8 sp 00007fff240fb090 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7fbf8132f000+f4000] Dec 29 14:45:51 k1 kernel: [ 2809.946995] gnome-shell[6144]: segfault at 5200ad008 ip 00007f2cacc6e0a8 sp 00007fff4f8ccaf0 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7f2cacc0e000+f4000] Dec 29 14:50:57 k1 kernel: [ 3115.517077] gnome-shell[6382]: segfault at 4bc527088 ip 00007f71dcd390a8 sp 00007fffb2433950 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7f71dccd9000+f4000] Dec 29 14:51:18 k1 kernel: [ 3136.543733] gnome-shell[6544]: segfault at 30a99d008 ip 00007fbb45c7c0a8 sp 00007ffffd505b90 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7fbb45c1c000+f4000] Dec 29 18:05:57 k1 kernel: [ 8412.114967] VirtualBox[2774]: segfault at ffffffff9c22c698 ip 00007f34baf0ac08 sp 00007fff31e2afc0 error 4 in libX11.so.6.3.0[7f34baed5000+133000] Dec 30 00:41:31 k1 kernel: [ 993.671771] gnome-shell[1929]: segfault at 4af923008 ip 00007fe5a92ee720 sp 00007fffdf8186d0 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7fe5a928f000+f4000] Dec 30 02:22:48 k1 kernel: [ 5993.860307] VirtualBox[2475]: segfault at ffffffff98499948 ip 00007f9cb2f7ec08 sp 00007fffff179e50 error 4 in libX11.so.6.3.0[7f9cb2f49000+133000] Dec 30 11:55:25 k1 kernel: [ 302.523479] gnome-shell[1912]: segfault at 317d73008 ip 00007f38970290a8 sp 00007fff2a8043d0 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7f3896fc9000+f4000] Dec 30 12:44:54 k1 kernel: [ 715.968178] gnome-shell[2264]: segfault at 4e5fc4008 ip 00007f5b2ec2a0a8 sp 00007fff0538c5c0 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7f5b2ebca000+f4000] Dec 30 12:54:02 k1 kernel: [ 1262.705616] gnome-shell[3576]: segfault at 31decf008 ip 00007fb4774780a8 sp 00007fff0d0df9b0 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7fb477418000+f4000] Dec 30 12:54:49 k1 kernel: [ 1309.576496] evince[4369]: segfault at 350 ip 00007f8fec0778f4 sp 00007fff76ad9ee8 error 4 in libc-2.13.so[7f8febf59000+195000] Dec 30 13:26:43 k1 kernel: [ 267.748077] gnome-shell[2007]: segfault at 107 ip 00007f26fae030a8 sp 00007fffaa9d8060 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7f26fada3000+f4000] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/889706 Title: Gnome-shell randomly crashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/889706/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
