gnome-settings-daemon crashes regularly on my system due to bug 1085493. This causes gnome-shell to hit bug 1085116. I don't know if there is an actual bug in gnome-shell, but this bug will at least link the two issues. Here is the stack trace: Backtrace: #0 g_hash_table_resize (hash_table=hash_table@entry=0x1e24f00) at ghash.c:554 #1 0x000000312ae3854e in g_hash_table_maybe_resize (hash_table=0x1e24f00) at ghash.c:594 #2 g_hash_table_remove_internal (hash_table=0x1e24f00, key=0x1, notify=1) at ghash.c:1277 #3 0x000000312cacb463 in do_call (client=client@entry=0x13f19c0, call_type=call_type@entry=CALL_TYPE_NAME_VANISHED) at gdbusnamewatching.c:216 #4 0x000000312cacb695 in call_vanished_handler (client=client@entry=0x13f19c0, ignore_cancelled=0) at gdbusnamewatching.c:242 #5 0x000000312cacb978 in on_name_owner_changed (connection=<optimized out>, sender_name=0x7fd3f8418200 "org.freedesktop.DBus", object_path=<optimized out>, interface_name=0x7fd3f8420400 "org.freedesktop.DBus", signal_name=<optimized out>, parameters=0x462ab80, user_data=0x13f19c0) at gdbusnamewatching.c:307 #6 0x000000312cabc435 in emit_signal_instance_in_idle_cb (data=0x7fd3f84292f0) at gdbusconnection.c:3743 #7 0x000000312ae492a6 in g_main_dispatch (context=0xef5880) at gmain.c:3066 #8 g_main_context_dispatch (context=context@entry=0xef5880) at gmain.c:3642 #9 0x000000312ae49628 in g_main_context_iterate (context=0xef5880, block=block@entry=1, dispatch=dispatch@entry=1, self=<optimized out>) at gmain.c:3713 #10 0x000000312ae49a3a in g_main_loop_run (loop=0xef8580) at gmain.c:3907 #11 0x0000003131e62ce8 in meta_run () at core/main.c:556 #12 0x0000000000402131 in main (argc=1, argv=0x7fff624ea5f8) at main.c:441
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '20'. 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 20 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.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 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.
