(In reply to Trevor Davenport from comment #0) > Description of problem: > Started gnome shell on wayland. Opened nautilus. clicked around. The attached backtrace does not match that - it's an early abort because clutter initialization failed, way before starting to manage any windows. I suspect that it corresponds to a seconds instance that was restarted after the crash you describe ...
Has worked great for weeks - but during today's work it "just crashed" while I was watching a video in Firefox. No specific cause/action taken.
ABRT is pointing me here for a gnome-shell crash. It is also pointing me at: https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/423214/ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1134859 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1178304 FWIW, I was in a bluejeans conference call when the crash happened, so it might have something to do with video somehow. 2 or 3 of my colleagues also had problems during the Bluejeans conference. Not sure if they had a gnome-shell, X, or Wayland crash on them.
Here is another BZ I opened when bluejeans crashed my windowing environment. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1226390 That time it caused Xorg to crash rather than gnome-shell
I've seen it too on F21 when resuming from suspend. Indeed, it made X crash too, or at least I couldn't access my session anymore. Could it be related to a new kernel or something? Three reports out of four were done during the last few days.
Every time I start Fedora, I login on Gnome and freeze (blank screen), nee to kill Xorg from terminal (ctrr + alt + F3), then I can login OK in Gnome.
In my case it is an random whole system freeze, mostly video.

I could reproduce this after using Scale tool on GIMP (2.8.14). It doesn't work as expected and after a few seconds all Gnome hangs with this error. Fedora 21 x64
I could reproduce this bug again and again with playing a video on totem (GNOME Videos) and mostly at the end, GNOME Shell crashes (Sometimes X, I don't use wayland). BTW, I've upgraded my Fedora 21 to 22 .. If it's a factor!
I can trigger this bug by playing video in totem. In most cases X crashes. on fresh install of F22
In my case, X crashes a lot and GNOME shell crashes fewer. but what I can catch though is the Shell Crash using ABRT. I will try again and see if I can catch X bug itself or not. but when I reported here, there was another report to this bug regarding "Dleyna Server": https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1208905
I can trigger this 100% with a development branch of Nibbles [1], when clutter is initialized in Nibbles. (If you want to try it out, just start a game and the crash will occur 100% when the countdown timer reaches 0.) I have no clue why that causes GNOME Shell to crash. I can play videos in totem without issue. The crash seems to occur at the same time as https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/738499/ which I cannot report because "the backtrace is unusable."
This is the bug of X crashes when I use totem. Sometimes happened to X to crash instead of GNOME Shell here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1236783
Michael: Could you file a report in the GNOME bugzilla, telling them that you are able to reproduce the crash using Nibbles? That would really be helpful for all the people like me who suffer from this bug without being able to reproduce it. Thanks!
I cannot reproduce it anymore. Something changed. :(
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 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.
