Description of problem: Gnome-shell/GDM crashes upon startup with latest GJS (1.47.4-1.fc26). Problem does not occur if I downgrade to previous version gjs-1.47.0-2.fc26. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): GJS 1.47.4-1.fc26 gnome-shell-3.23.2-3.fc26 How reproducible: Everytime. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot into gnome or launch gnome from terminal. 2. 3. Actual results: Crash. Expected results: No error. Additional info: $> coredumpctl Stack trace of thread 1311: #0 0x00007f72ed27430b raise (libc.so.6) #1 0x00007f72ed27622a abort (libc.so.6) #2 0x00007f72ed2ba350 __libc_message (libc.so.6) #3 0x00007f72ed35d307 __fortify_fail (libc.so.6) #4 0x00007f72ed35d2d0 __stack_chk_fail (libc.so.6) #5 0x00007f72f694857f n/a (libgjs.so.0) #6 0x00007fffb0e8d8f0 n/a (n/a) PID: 1273 (gnome-shell) UID: 42 (gdm) GID: 42 (gdm) Signal: 6 (ABRT)
Seeing this here as well.
Also happens here. Journal says: *** stack smashing detected ***: /usr/bin/gnome-shell terminated This is quite critical because one cannot boot a system with this update (since gdm is started by default) unless manually adding some systemd rescue commands to kernel boot configuration.
Thanks, the crash should be fixed with mozjs31-31.5.0-1.fc26 build.
