I was able to make my environment "stable" (no flickering) only by using Gnome classic and then manually enabling composition. I have no pretty launcher, but it's at least usable now. I think someone above asserted that this has been considered stable. In whatever world you persist in, I hope you don't consider an environment which is segfaulting routinely "stable", especially one that is clearly disrupting the usability of what is otherwise a very polished experience. The developers that come from your world must be substantially inadequate.
More importantly, I can't see how this could possibly only effect a minuscule number of users. I just built two new boxes, with different configurations. One has an ATI card and the other has an Nvidia GPU. Both exhibit behavior related to this same bug. Not to mention in occurs on all 3 of my laptops. So.... it's reproducible on ALL of my machines. -- 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
