I have installed gnome-shell 46.0-0ubuntu6~24.04.4 on Noble and cannot reproduce the crash using the test case described at the top of this bug. However as mentioned in previous comments, this crash is refusing to happen on demand, even without the fix.
Since we are still getting automated crash reports for this issue; https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/65513baf83b5ba140d09c2aa71b988097108cde0 I suggest we release the fix and the above page will provide the final word in whether the crash is gone for good. ** Tags removed: verification-needed-noble ** Tags added: verification-done-noble -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2069559 Title: gnome-shell crashed with SIGSEGV in st_theme_node_lookup_shadow() from st_theme_node_get_box_shadow() from st_theme_node_get_paint_box() from st_theme_node_transition_get_paint_box() from st_widget_get_paint_volume() Status in Dash to dock: Fix Released Status in GNOME Shell: New Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell source package in Noble: Fix Committed Status in gnome-shell source package in Oracular: Fix Released Bug description: [ Impact ] gnome-shell crashes with SIGSEGV in st_theme_node_lookup_shadow() when the screen is locked from the overview, if you had any extension loaded that changes stylesheets (like ubuntu-dock or dash-to-dock). In theory it could happen whenever such an extension is deactivated. https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/65513baf83b5ba140d09c2aa71b988097108cde0 https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/9e0eb2f488ad83e41a8977709955a661857ba95e [ Test Plan ] 1. Log into gnome-shell. 2. Ensure Ubuntu Dock is active. 3. Open the overview by tapping the Super key. 4. Lock the screen while the overview is open. Expect: No crash, no automatic return to the login screen. The screen should lock and then be unlockable. Note: It doesn't crash reliably every time due to the nature of memory corruption so additional verification under Valgrind may be advisable. [ Where problems could occur ] Since the fix affects theming and stylesheets, bugs could occur in shell theming.
