This crasher happened to me directly after unlocking a GNOME wayland session right after waking up from suspend. After logging in I could see the session for like 1 or two frames, then I was sent back to login screen.

This bug occurs several times a day on FC 25.  Usually happens after a screen lock.

Comment 22 Jonathon Reinhart 2017-03-15 01:54:16 UTC
It just took me *six* tries to log-in, with gnome-shell crashing immediately each time. Then, after I was logged in for a few minutes, it crashed twice more.

Can we please get some sort of feedback as to whether this *four and a half* month-old bug is going to be fixed? Perhaps a priority/severity weighting? I'm trying to decide whether I should wait it out for a fix, or go through the process of downgrading.

Comment 23 Jonathon Reinhart 2017-03-15 02:20:02 UTC
Looking at the backtrace, I realized this call is coming from the JavaScript interpreter. I see some mentions of `st_bin_dispose()` in GNOME extension bug reports. So I decided to look at my enabled extensions (via gnome-tweak-tool), and saw that both of the following were enabled:

- TopIcons - https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/495/topicons/
- TopIcons Plus - https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1031/topicons/

As soon as I clicked the "OFF" button on Topicons plus, gnome-shell crashed with the following backtrace[1].

However, after this, my system has been stable again. This issue has been around for a while, and obviously a JS extension shouldn't be able to crash gnome-shell. But for those experiencing this issue, you might try disabling some extensions.

I'm fairly confident both of these extensions were not enabled before I upgraded from Fedora 24 to 25, and I certainly was not experiencing any crashes.

GNOME-devs: Perhaps it would be wise to have a feature that can automatically disable an extension (or all extensions) when it is determined that gnome-shell crashed while executing an extension.

Extensions should certainly be better sandboxed so that they can't crash the shell, but if the devs are going to take the short term workaround of having the shell disable extensions when it detects a crash, there should be a notification alerting the user that this has happened, why it's happened, and maybe a link to a webpage describing how they can troubleshoot the issue (re-enable extensions one at a time to see which one is causing the crash).

If extensions were sandboxed, they were not able to rip out random parts of the shell UI and put it elsewhere. So the sandbox would certainly prevent top-icons from crashing the shell, most notably because the extension wouldn't exist in the first place ...

Clearly I'm not using the right terminology. My two main points are that it should be harder for an extension to crash the shell (catch all exceptions that aren't otherwise handled and kill the extension that caused them instead of the whole shell, perhaps? Is that even possible?) and that if the shell is going to start automatically disabling extensions that cause problems, it should notify the user of what's happening.

Comment 36 Nikita Goncharuk 2017-07-11 21:46:31 UTC
Similar problem has been detected:

"Topicons Plus" Shell extension showed an long empty space instead the only icon (Steam). Also bottom-left tray appeared with Steam icon and long empty space.

I've right-clicked on Steam icon in bottom-left tray and chose exit Steam and Gnome Shell Crashed. It was Wayland session so all running apps were terminated. 

But I don't know what caused wrong "Topicons Plus" behaviour. The same bug used to happen quiet a long time ago. Last few mounth of Fedora 25 I haven't seen this. Now I'm runnig Steam again and I'm having a correct Steam icon in top bar. But if it'll start to show something wrong and I'll try to do something with icons Shell would crash. I'm also not sure that this happens only with Steam because I'm rarely use other apps with tray icons. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway I don't want to have tray in bottom-left because it overlaping windows.
Another problem is that Shell crashes now kill all running apps. It could cause data loss and reopen everything is annoing.
And I'm no longer can to configure Xorg for tearfree. Old config stoped to work after some updates of Fedora 25.

Firefox is introducing this feature, it will be running extensions in a separate process soon: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1357486

1. Ugraded from 25 to 26:  sudo dnf system-upgrade --releasever=26 && sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot
2. The screen was blank, but when trying to login in another console (CTRL+ALT+F2) it says that system is booting up.
So I waited 20 minutes and nothing happens, I'd pressed CTRL+ALT+DEL several times and computer rebooted.
Everything is working, but this bug always shows during starting up of Gnome.
Tried kernel 4.11.9 and 4.4.75 from kernel.org

Similar problem has been detected:

I was logging into GNOME from GDM3, was landed back at the login screen after a flicker of the screen.  First time it's happened, but I've only booted up a few times since upgrading to Fedora 26 from 25.

The desktop is a bit more jolty than it was prior to the upgrade, especially with Firefox - don't know whether that's useful info or not.

I don't know if I'd be able to reproduce it other than trying logging out and back in or rebooting a few times.

We decided to not accept this particular bug as a blocker because while it does apparently affect a number of people, it's not even the top current crash for gnome-shell reported at https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/problems/?component_names=gnome-shell&associate=__None&daterange=2017-07-05%3A2017-07-19&bug_filter=None&function_names=&binary_names=&source_file_names=&since_version=&since_release=&to_version=&to_release=.

Instead, I'm going to talk to Owen about the process for triaging GNOME Shell crashes like this and we'll work to increase the transparency there. (With the goal of getting them *all* fixed.)

Looks like FAF is wrong about calculating those numbers, I'll report this as a bug against faf.

Please have a look at https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/1376401/ (Fedora 25, bug happens rarely) and https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/1777672/ (Fedora 26, bug is reported 50…100 times per day for the last week). The latter faf report has more hits than any other report on your faf list above.

Comment 56 Leslie Satenstein 2017-07-23 14:53:42 UTC
Similar problem has been detected:

I booted the Fedora 26 system which is installed onto a btrfs file system.
My /home is on an ext4 system 
Both are on my SSD drive, with more than ample free space.

There are many different situations causing crashes.

a) If I log in at time of boot, usually the system starts ok  no problems with gnome-shell (/home on ext4)
b) If boot the system but wait 12 hours later to log in,  the gnome-shell is in a 100% cpu loop (/home on ext4)
c)  As initiially installed, I can modify /home to use the subvolume of /btrfs, and if I restore /home to the btrfs system, 
     then some extensions crash gnome-shell. In this case disaster.  By disaster, the logon gear 
     button points to la-la land (not to gnome or to gnome-org).  The extensions must not be used.
     With disaster, I have to log in as root, and switch to /home/leslie/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions and
     chmod 000 * 
     The major extension causing problems (only on btrfs volume) is Taskbar by Zpydr
     Other extensions I am using are:
    Alternate Tab 
    Background Logo
    Caffeine
    Extension update notifier
    Freon
    Gno-menu
    Launch new Instance
    Notification alert
    Open Weather 
    Taskbar   
    Topicons plus
    User themes

Please NOTE, Fedora 26 is using Gnome 3.24.   With Fedora 25, (Gnome 3.22) I had no issue/problems.  If I use xfs or ext4 
as the underlying file system, Gnome-shell appears to be OK.

I can help you since I test on live hardware, not via vm.  I have 5 disks with Fedora25 ext4, Fedora 26 ext4, Fedora26 btrfs, 
and two spare disks.  I have zero problems with Fedora25 ext4 which is Gnome 3.22  

If I knew more details about what the gnome-shell problem is, I would fix it.

Comment 57 Leslie Satenstein 2017-07-23 15:01:51 UTC
This problem is occurring multiple times per day.  Look at comment 56
It is exacerbated if the installation is on a btrfs system.

Can't rely on using Gnome on a btrfs system. 

Install a single extension -- 

Taskbar onto a btrfs system.  With only this extension, it is a way to debug the problem

Comment 58 Leslie Satenstein 2017-07-24 01:28:18 UTC
To the person doing the debugging.

Here is a description explaining how to make gnome-shell crash. It follows my other comments.

I provided some debugging information in earlier comments based on F26 and btrfs. and now with F25 and btrfs, 

With btrfs I can make gnome-shell crash with one single extension. Taskbar by Zpyder.


Today to prove that gnome shell and btrfs are incompatible, I installed a fresh copy of Fedora 25, (my previous reports are for Fedora 26)  


My dual keyboard config  layout1 en (Canadian English)  layout2 fr (Canadian French) x64 system, as reported in the attachments.  keyboard is a pc105 physical layout.


In the firefox setup window, the instant I click  onto the displayed "install" button for the TaskBar extension --- full user lockup and full loss of keyboard. 

Recovery is a reboot.
If I am logged as root in terminal mode, if I am lucky, I can do a killall -u  and do recovery that way.

Recovery consists of deleting with rm -f ./local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/Taskbar*

So, with btrfs and F25, crash and lockout, with btrfs and F26, crash and lockout,

A related problem that shows that gnome-shell does other problems with some wrong addresses/setups.

With the fresh install (and with F26), the gnome-terminal session does a switch keyboard layout for the space bar alone and correctly so for the super+space (as to be expected). (duplicate setup)
It also provides a left alt-key[`]  and left alt-shift[~] The key is to the left of the [1] key. I believe that when you fix the gnome session crashing, that you will fix these other bugs.

I am able to use dconf-editor to fix some keyboard related problems. 

So. setup a f25 or f26 btrfs gnome session and do your best. Refer to comment 56 for more details.
 
FYI, as an end user and a promoter of Fedora, I hope the debugging bears fruit before F27.  I normally use Fedora with ext4 or xfs --without extension crashing problems.

Similar problem has been detected:

I booted the system.
The system resides on a SSD, formatted host is btrfs
The login opened up with a grey-black screen, active mouse, active keyboard, but no gnome
Gnome shell was at 99% CPU (looping)
I used ctl-alt-f1 to return to the Fedora gnome prompt
I relogged and the system came up to allow me to write this report.

PLEASE. IF YOU WANT TO DEBUG THE PROBLEM  REFER TO MY COMMENTS ABOUT GNOME AND BTRFS
the Gnome-shell does not isolate extensions from the kernel.  The gnome shell can be killed by
any misbehaved extension. 

Want to debug,
Fedora 26, gnome, btrfs file system and Taskbar by zpydr
Taskbar will freeze on install and setup when btrfs is the file system in use.
Thereafter, with every reboot, gnome logon will die before coming up.

You have repeatible test data to debug the problem.

It happens for me on ext4. It's not only for BTRFS AFAIK.

Comment 66 Matthew Miller 2017-07-27 15:41:36 UTC
Are you sure it's this same crash? I haven't delved into it enough to see exactly why that should be a factor, but it does seem to be common to many of the reports.

Comment 67 Dominik Gronkiewicz 2017-07-27 15:42:28 UTC
I have encountered this crash only once and I don't think I've ever been using btrfs (always ext4).

Happens on btrfs here, but that's not the point. I doubt there is any way this could be related to the filesystem gnome-shell is running on. gnome-shell is not using btrfs-progs, and race conditions in file system drivers don't look related either. I guess lsatenstein is having different configuration or hardware on the machines tested.

I don't know the low-level details, but ABRT pointed this report to me when I filed it.

Leslie is the only one reported it's on BTRFS (but not other filesystems), but he reported more than one time that, so it seemed like more than one person confirmed that fact.

Yesterday, I got a several bug with the gnome-panel with the Gnome-Shell extensions. I have removed the directory of the extensions and now, I have no crash.

It's a lead.

The system was restarted after regular update, applied with GNOME Software. Afterwards I started pCloud Appimage Client, which I use as a cloud and sync service. I also started the LibreOffice document, on which I'm currently working. I this moment I've noticed that pCloud status icon is not where it should be - I'm using the GNOME Shell Extension "TopIcons plus", which moves the icons of apps like Viber and pCloud next to the Activities button. When I saw that TopIcons Plus has placed the icons not where it should, I entered GNOME Tweak tool and disabled Top Icons Plus, intending to re-enable it immediatly. Upon disabeling, the screen suddenly turned black and I was droped black to GDM Welcome and Login Screen. After I logged in, I reabled Top Icons Plus and it went without any problems.

That's the tradeoff in allowing extensions deep access rather than a limited API.

Is anyone seeing this *without* TopIcons installed?

Comment 80 jeremy9856 2017-08-03 17:37:46 UTC
Not 100% sure but I think it had happened without TopIcons Plus too for me. IIRC I had the crashes and tried with TopIcons Plus disabled.

I've removed TopIconsPlus and no crashes after that!

Before uninstalling TopIconsPlus, some times icons were hiding in top panel, and every time gnome-shell crashing immediately after clicking on TopTcons plus *Setting* button OR after disabling the extension from GnomeTweakTools.

Comment 83 Nikita Goncharuk 2017-08-04 11:39:52 UTC
Similar problem has been detected:

I had switched all Shell Extensions on and off few times (Using the switcher in Tweak tool's headerbar) and Legacy tray with Topicons plus extension disappeared.
Than I Quited The only app with Legacy tray Icon and Launched it Again. Both Legacy tray (in bottom left) and Topicons plus shown with wide (about 200px) empty space and The app's icon was only in bottom left tray.
Right click on the Icon in bottom left tray caused the crash.

No, but I can confirm that disabling the topicons-plus extension makes this bug go away. I haven't seen gnome-shell crash in 3 days with this extension disabled although it has crashed twice a day before.

Comment 86 Jan Niklas Hasse 2017-08-07 10:38:08 UTC
I switched from TopIcons Plus to TopIcons (without the Plus) and the bug also went away.

I have replaced "TopIcons plus" with "TopIcons" but it seems to be more bugged.
Except the crash Gpaste extension now was on lockscreen. And this new extension does not remove tray out of top panel if all Extensions are disabled (keeping being enabled, but not on lockscreen).

I do not know Gnome-shell and have no source to read  to debug same.

@lsatenstein: Can you please try to disable the "Topicons" or "Topicons plus" gnome-shell extension? This should make your problem go away.

I still doubt this issue is related to btrfs as gnome-shell does not have any btrfs-specific code afaik.

Comment 95 Nikita Goncharuk 2017-08-13 21:27:37 UTC
I had the Issue on all ext4 installation so it is not btrfs related.
(Or abrt incorrectly recognized duplicates).

Comment 96 Leslie Satenstein 2017-08-14 17:18:51 UTC
Similar problem has been detected:

ON a first logon after a reboot, the gnome-shell enters a 100% cpu situation.
With Fedora and with SUSE, via root, I kill the user and have the user log in again.
And it works the second to n't time

The gnome system is on a btrfs system simply because software engineers
recommend btrfs fiile system when Linux (suse or fedora) is 
installed onto SSD's.

All I know is I do a killuser -u  userxxxx

and the next logon attempt works.

Sometimes, just attempting a second logon works just fine too.

Same crash on the same situations
During daily work, all tray icons from top panel and legacy tray icons disappeared, when I clicked on TopIconPlus in gnome tweak tools and I faced a gnome-shell crash immediately

I am testing the Fedora 27 Beta rekease candidate.
The gnome-shell is crashing, and runs the cpu at 100%

After a delay, it restarts, and I am asked to file a sig abort 6
After the shell restarts itself, the pre-beta Fedora 27 appears to function correctly for what I use it. The F27 pre-beta is very close to being an excellent mostly bugfree beta. Except for cold boot logon to Gnome.

Comment 128 Matthew Miller 2017-09-13 14:30:19 UTC
By design, GNOME Shell allows extensions enough power that they can cause crashes; this is a mixed blessing, because on the one hand, crashes are obviously bad, but on the other, it allows extensions to do almost anything, which is cool.

This is really seeming like a TopIcons Plus issue, and there is an upstream tracker at https://github.com/phocean/TopIcons-plus/issues/73 — but upstream developers are having trouble reproducing, and it's hard to fix without that.

If you can reproduce, or even if you can reliably crash with this extension enabled and reliably get no crashes without, that would be helpful feedback in the upstream tracker. (But please don't just pile on without specifics, because that's more annoying than help.)

I'll leave this open as a tracker for now.

Comment 129 Anass Ahmed 2017-09-13 14:34:08 UTC
I re-enabled the extension "TopIcons Plus" again in preparation for the legacy tray removal in GNOME 3.26 on Fedora 27.

Let's see what happens, hopefully I can be of aid to fix the issue. but I didn't face the issue again after I disabled it last time.

Comment 132 Ray Strode [halfline] 2017-09-14 13:39:16 UTC
Looking at the stack trace here: https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/1376401/

We see a GSettings change event comes in (frame 60), leading to a an actor getting destroyed (frame 40).

As part of its destruction it iterates through it's children and destroys them too (frame 32).  One of those children is a StBin container (frame 29).  It, likewise, destroys its child which is ShellGtkEmbed (frame 26).  The ShellGtkEmbed calls into javascript when it's getting destroyed.

I guess that's probably this code here from the extension (in onTrayIconAdded):

icon.connect("destroy", function() {
        icon.clear_effects();
        iconContainer.destroy();
});

The icon is a ShellTrayIcon which is a subclass of ShellGtkEmbed.
But that callback is a little weird.  The icon is getting destroyed because it's container is getting destroyed (frame 26), but it installs a destroy handler that destroys its container (frame 7)? So it ends up 

Let's look at the st-bin dispose method anyway:

  if (priv->child)•
    clutter_actor_destroy (priv->child);•
  g_assert (priv->child == NULL);•
•

So I guess the clutter_actor_destroy there is going to be noop because the icon is already in destruction (frame 26), so then the assertion fails.

Assuming that's the problem, and I didn't muck anything up in my tracing, there are two possible fixes I can think of:

1) drop the iconContainer.destroy() call from onTrayIconAdded
2) change the

if (priv->child)
  clutter_actor_destroy (priv->child);

from st_bin_dispose to

g_clear_pointer (&priv->child, clutter_actor_destroy);

Your build makes the situation worse. With TopIcons enabled, I cannot login any more at all. Downgrading to Fedora 26's most recent version of gnome-shell lets me login sometimes (about one out of 3 tries) at least.

I'm sorry I cannot give you more data because abrt is deleting my crashes. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1411497 for details.

of course, without a trace it's hard to know where the crash you're seeing is, but I put my above patch and the patch from that bug together into one build here for you to try:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=21889537

if that doesn't help, we might have to get you to switch to using coredumpctl instead of abrt to get a trace.

No, my crash clearly contained a line on st_bin_dispose(), so I guess I'm not hitting that bug.

Same issue as with your previous build. 3 out of 3 logins fail.

Looks like we need to go that road. How do I do that, where do I start?

With topicons (not topicons plus), gnome-shell 3.24.3-1 and 3.24.2-1 crashes on login on most tries (maybe 3 out of 4). Without that extension enabled, it crashes in less than 1 out of 4 tries.
Hope that helps.

I got another crash with "Topicons Plus" enabled, this time it was triggered by sealert trying to its tray icon. Instead of a tray icon of sealert, the space used by the topicons plus system tray got wider and wider until gnome-shell froze and then crashed. The sealert notification was displayed correctly.

Upon some apparently random events, such as maximizing or moving windows, gnome-shell crashes. Sometimes
it restarts by itself and I can continue working, but often the whole session is terminated and I'm brought
to the login screen. I lose all the open windows in that case.

The frequency with which this occurs has increased greatly after upgrading from Fedora 25 to 26.

Comment 164 Leslie Satenstein 2017-10-03 21:50:20 UTC
Comment 96 is appropriate.

I am using btrfs, for the SSD. 
If you are testing, and working this bug report, use / and /home as btrfs.

I am testing with 
ext4, xfs, lvm and btrfs

Only btrfs gives me problems.

Comment 165 Hein-Pieter van Braam 2017-10-03 22:05:56 UTC
I don't use btrfs on my machine but I reported this problem also. I use XFS.

Similar problem has been detected:

Now it was my belief that the automatized tool would get you all the details but let me try and describe the issue.

It's actually pretty simple. After some time of using the TopIcons plugin, the icons disappear from the top bar. I believe you may need to close/open the lid of the notebook and make it go sleep but I am not sure about that. Anyway, if you click the empty space the icons from the TopIcon plugin should be, the system still seems to kind of react to it by opening the appropriate applications sometimes. However, if you do this clicking into the void space, I believe the trigger of this bug is to try and lock the screen using the menu from the top right corner. Then the system segfaults.

This issue is kind of hard to reproduce, although I believe that once you get the blank space in the top right corner this is kind of 100% reproducible and thus exploitable I guess. It's easier to find the blank space in the top bar if you're using another plugin which uses top bar - then the empty space appears between this other plugin's icon and the usual icons.

This is kind of all I know, I hit it quite often.

Not sure if this is related, but I noticed the following:

- Application icons in the top panel disappeared after upgrading to Fedora 27, some crashes of gnome-shell
- I changed the setting of TopIconsPlus from horizontal tray alignment = center to left
- Application icons are visible again and no more crashed so far

Comment 195 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:22:22 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 196 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:33:50 UTC
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
