Another user experienced a similar problem:

I came back to my machine after only a minute or so away, woke the screen and entered my password in the gnome-shell lock screen. My system entered a tight loop jumping between a virtual terminal and my lock screen until I eventually powered off the machine.

In Wayland (no problem in xorg), in this page on firefox " https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1214318) " , when I highlights " 1214318 " in the black text on red background and I move this highlights numbers with my mouse, Gnome-shell crashes a second later! That is reproducible.

Another user experienced a similar problem:

Booted the machine, and logged in by swiping my finger on the fingerprint reader built into this laptop (Lenovo X1 Carbon 2nd Generation).

After the crash, I rebooted the box, and logged in by typing in my password -- not sure if the fingerprint reader is a red herring, or if it's actually relevant.

Another user experienced a similar problem:

It is not possible to login from GDM to Gnome or Gnome Classic: as soon as I login I get a message that something crashed and pressing the button returns me to GDM.
Login to Gnome Wayland, MATE, Cinnamon, Cinnamon (Software Rendering), LXQT all works (although Wayland shows a "ghost cursor" and its not very usable yet).

Another user experienced a similar problem:

Currently I don't have time to confirm whether this is a hardware issue or  software bug, from dmesg I see nouveau "failed to idle channel...". For this SIGABRT signal I think Xorg is killed when I the display hangs and I issue "systemctl restart gdm", as I find that characters appear slowly and choppily, and also the cursor when I enter the desktop. I guess if I wait for sometime when it hangs completely then these is no chance for me to switch to TTY because it doesn't reponse to key press. This actually happens.

Comment 19 汪明衡 2015-05-26 00:31:07 UTC
Some information of my hardware I think might be useful:
Lenovo Y400, Nvidia GT650, intel i7 3632. This laptop has SLI and supports dual independent video cards, but it mutes this integrated video card at hardware level.
Currently I have only one video card. The issue that X hangs I encountered before and it was resolved by replacing the main board. But this time it's a bit unusual about the softwares: if I use gnome-shell 3.16.2, it becomes likely to happen much more often than gnome-shell 3.16.1, e.g. the screen looks torn apart and scattered, and it freezes completely shortly, doesn't even respond to ALT+CTRL+F*. I can only log in through LAN and try to restart X, however, it's generally unsuccessful and eventually results in me pressing power button because Xorg doesn't even respond to SIGKILL.

I'm not sure that this was the cause, but it happened after:
1) run rhythmbox
2) enable visualisation
3) right-click inside visualisation

Occurred after logging in from GDM to Gnome Wayland session. Gnome shell crashed first. This happens every time the gnome on Wayland session is selected.

Hi all,
I had to manually kill GDM as after the upgrade to the newer Xorg stack and new kernel 4.1.3 my desktop won't restore after unlocking the screen and log in back.

Comment 23 Christian Stadelmann 2015-09-19 00:17:18 UTC
In my case this issue happens under the following conditions: 

You need to have libva-intel-driver installed, it won't crash otherwise.

You need to use the Gtk+ 3 build of firefox (or a Gstreamer build with firefox) to reproduce. Tor browser bundle (built for Gtk+ 2 and withoug GStreamer support) doesn't crash.

Steps to reproduce:
1. open firefox
2. open any page with a html5 video, e.g. youtube.com
3. play the video

What happens:
Greenscreen instead of video, sound works fine.
Gnome-shell crashes multiple times, tries to kill the session

What should happen:
No crash anywhere.

Additional info:
I think this issue is fixed in mesa 10.6.6, see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91254
