@vanvugt hi! Nice triage, appreciated. Confirming I now have had this on 18.04, gnome-shell version 3.28.4-0ubuntu18.04.1.
*Removing or renaming $HOME/.config*, as a universal workaround, also works in this case. I'm going to test if disabling search-providers (as mentioned in #1722599) helps, with the (I suspect, corrupted) $HOME/.config in place intact. Since gnome-shell crashes and any GUI isn't accessible, here's the gsettings command doing the equivalent: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.search-providers disable-external true -- 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/1787512 Title: gnome-shell crashed with SIGABRT in __GI_raise() from __GI_abort() from g_assertion_message() from g_assertion_message_expr() from gtk_icon_info_load_icon_finish() ["assertion failed: (icon_info_get_pixbuf_ready (icon_info))"] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1787512/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
