Just installed on my machine. Followed the instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed to enable the -proposed in the GUI.
Then I did create sudo vim /etc/apt/preferences.d/proposed-updates to limit proposed updates. Then I ran: sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install gnome-shell/bionic-proposed On reboot, I have: $ gnome-shell --version GNOME Shell 3.28.3 I've locked my computer for ~5 minutes twice, and have yet to see any issues in my syslog. I'll continue to monitor. Also, I had an issue where any time I locked my screen or it went to sleep, my vms in Virtualbox would freeze and go into a state where I couldn't interact with them (though I could still ssh into them). That seems to be fixed here as well. Super excited if true. Any issue if I go back into preferences and disable -proposed updates now? -- 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/1772677 Title: gnome-shell filling up syslog with thousands/millions of entries with stack traces ending in osdWindow.js (lines 206/207 in bionic, lines 223/224 in cosmic) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1772677/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
