Thanks for the feedback Hugo. I am using Gnome Shell, but F2 on its own doesn't bring up the run dialog. I typically use Alt-F2 and the press r to restart gnome shell. However, this doesn't work when I experience the symptoms described in this bug report. I have to do Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and restart my entire gnome session (which, obviously, is a pain).
I am hesitant to upgrade to latest gnome shell, because some people in this thread said it didn't help and I don't want my system to become more unstable than it already is. One other point. I was using Gnome 3 without this freezing issue for several months in Fedora 16. I had even installed some of the MGSE extensions on my Fedora system. I'm only experiencing this issue after switching over to Linux Mint. -- 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
