Public bug reported: gnome-shell becomes unresponsive after about 1 day. I'm able to interact with the window that had focus when the problem appears (in this case it was Chrome), but I'm unable to select or otherwise interact with other windows, the shell, dock, or indicators.
The logs are spammed with gnome-shell[2916]: JS ERROR: TypeError: windowActor is null#012_addWindowEffect@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/closeDialog.js:90:28#012vfunc_show@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/closeDialog.js:162:14 This looks similar to but different enough from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1841774 I was using the i915 driver when this happened if that makes any difference ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: gnome-shell 3.36.4-1ubuntu1~20.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-42.46-generic 5.4.44 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-42-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.6 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Thu Aug 6 09:08:32 2020 DisplayManager: gdm3 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-06-12 (54 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200609) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 3.36.4-0ubuntu0.20.04.2 SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug focal package-from-proposed -- 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/1890613 Title: Gnome unresponsive JS ERROR: TypeError: windowActor is null To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1890613/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
