I've attached my .crash file updated with a symbolic stack trace (as per the above guide).
I've found that I was able to replicate the error by following these steps: Download and install a copy of Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.2 in VirtualBox. Open a screen displaying App icons in a menu, such as the app grid in the Gnome Shell overlay or the Arc Menu Gnome Shell extension (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1228/arc-menu/). Install all the latest software updates from the Software Updater or Synaptic. Upgrading all the packages between 16.04.2 to 16.04.3 seems to over-load Gnome Shell and cause the crash in the middle of the installation process. The crash always seems to occur after opening a screen with app icons and I'm not sure why. I hope this info and my attachment proves helpful in fixing the issue. Thanks in advance! ** Attachment added: "_usr_bin_gnome-shell.1000.crash" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1580605/+attachment/4942495/+files/_usr_bin_gnome-shell.1000.crash ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1580605 Title: gnome-shell crashes often To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1580605/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
