@Gwendal: I notice you've been quiet for a while. I suppose you've run out of ideas, and since your own box is stable, you have no way of testing. I know it must be frustrating for you to fight such a persistent bug. But do you think you could make another try, or maybe make some suggestions? I would be willing to help track down this bug.
Unfortunately, this bug is so disruptive to me that I am considering ditching Mint/MGSE/whatever causes this. Mind you this is not some kind of stupid threat - it's just that this is my main work machine, and I can't work with being interrupted up to every few minutes. Interestingly, the bug never appears on my notebook. This is a pretty slow box with Intel HD graphics and a Core2 Solo processor - maybe Wei En was right in his suspicion that it occurs on faster graphics adapters. Allow me to post a summary of my situation in the hope that we find something we missed before: Versions: libglib2.0-0 is at 2.30.2-4ubuntu1~oneiric1 gnome-shell is at 3.2.2.1-0ubuntu1~oneiric1 gnome-shell-common is at 3.2.2.1-0ubuntu1~oneiric1 fglrx-updates is at 2:8.911-0ubuntu0.1 (I tried several others, no change) Hardware: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T ATI Radeon HD 5700 graphics I have a dual-screen setup <- we have never discussed this before My observation is that this bug seems to happen in conjunction with creation of windows. I say this because it may also bite if a message box opens. Also frequently when opening the overview. Crash frequency also varies: there may be times when the intervals are short (say, 3) minutes, and then I may go for an hour or longer without a crash. Probably depending on whether I open many windows - I never got a crash while just watching movies. I use realatively few programs. Firefox, Terminal, virt-manager, totem, Remimma. -- 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
