I just noticed something (that I should have long ago): If gnome-shell crashes, I just restart it from a virtual terminal, using: DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-shell --replace
If this crashes again, I find the following error message: Feb 18 18:26:25 godzilla kernel: [ 7721.889237] gnome-shell[5951]: segfault at 100000007 ip 00007fd9d041c0a8 sp 00007fffd85f88d0 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7fd9d03bc000+f4000] Clutter-WARNING **: Unable to compile the GLSL shader: Fragment shader failed to compile with the following errors: ERROR: 1:1: error(#105) #version must occur before any other statement in the program ERROR: error(#273) 1 compilation errors. No code generated Segmentation Fault So this is apparently to do with hardware acceleration. I use fglrx as the graphics driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/889706 Title: Gnome-shell randomly crashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/889706/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
