You have been subscribed to a public bug: This affects Gnome-Shell 3.8 up to the latest build from Gnome3-Staging Gnome-Shell 3.10 on Ubuntu 13.10 and Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 daily builds, as of today!
1. Start gnome-terminal (has to be gnome-terminal - other term apps don't appear to produce this bug). 2. run sudo su and enter your password 3. run gedit or nautilus but definitely gedit is confirmed by 1 other person 4. Flick your mouse up to Activities 5. Gnome-Shell is dead ctrl+alt+f1 - login and run stop gdm or stop lightdm depending on your Ubuntu build start lightdm or gdm - attempt to login to gnome - no desktop will appear and if you switch back to the console you can see gnome-shell running like crazy. I've tried killing X, and confirmed all gnome service aren't running then tried start gdm or start lightdm and still nothing works. Have to restart PC to recover. Happy to test this and give you any logs you need. ** Affects: d-conf (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- Sure way to crash Gnome-Shell in Ubuntu 13.10 and Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1233760 You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to d-conf in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
