Description Adam Williamson 2018-04-11 18:14:05 UTC
This is quite similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1509086 , but with a different problematic backtrace path. Basically it seems like currently in F27, this gnome-shell crash often happens:

 #0 raise at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:51
 #1 dump_gjs_stack_on_signal_handler at ../src/main.c:372
 #5 default_log_handler at ../src/main.c:315
 #8 x_io_error at wayland/meta-xwayland.c:418

Usually with the message:

"Connection to xwayland lost"

All this tells us is that GNOME Shell crashed because XWayland crashed. However, all of these bugs at least for F27 are being marked as duplicates of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1510059 , even though they likely have nothing to do with each other.

There may well be a similar bug for F28, but I haven't found it yet, I'll have a look around.

Similar to the resolution for #1509086 , I think we need to 'blacklist' this path in satyr...

See also https://github.com/abrt/satyr/issues/271 and https://github.com/abrt/satyr/issues/272 , where I flagged up this "dump_gjs_stack_on_signal_handler" as being potentially problematic in this way.

I think https://github.com/abrt/satyr/commit/6383faff4959c751f71f107901897ff654e82615 should help with this, we just need that fix to go out to F27 (and probably F28 and Rawhide).

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2018-04-12 18:24:58 UTC
See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1556831 , where it's proposed that Shell should just *not dump core* in this case.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life.
On 2018-Nov-30  Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 27. 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that are no longer maintained.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 '27'.

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 27 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 4 Adam Williamson 2018-11-27 16:42:15 UTC
Moving this to 28, I'm not sure whether the fix made it there.

Comment 5 Martin Kutlak 2018-11-28 14:39:43 UTC
The fix for this bugzilla didn't make it to F27, but it should be fixed in Fedora 28+.
