Hi! I've got the same problem on a debian unstable.
I solved it by resetting the desktop environment. You may want to save your configuration first (i forgot it ;)) dconf dump This is the command for the hard reset - use it with caution: dconf reset -f / Bug description: I'm not sure what caused the bug. But one thing i did was creating a second user via gnome and deleting it a few days later. The same problem also appeared always when i used the gnome shell search or application menu. After a few seconds, the window decorators disappeared and then the session stopped. I got back to the gdm. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730540 Title: gnome-shell freezes after resume then unlock To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1730540/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
