Description Jonas Ådahl 2021-03-29 12:26:24 UTC
Mutter now terminates properly, but GNOME Shell sometimes doesn't handle that well enough.

See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1759 for details.

Similar problem has been detected:

At the time I was setting up external display or trying to enable a GNome Shell extension - logged in and out a lot so not sure which action triggered the crash.

"Sometimes", they say :-).  I haven't used F34 long, but I'd at least say logout crashes are being very easy to reproduce.

I think your specific backtrace (xcb_io.c:539 in _XSend() from libX11) is duplicated here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1947045
"[abrt] gnome-shell: _XSend(): gnome-shell killed by SIGSEGV"

I reported my most recent one here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1960884
"gnome-shell killed by SIGSEGV on logout. "Crash in anonymous function" - wild jump to 0x0000001000000001 from g_hash_table_lookup_node()"

There's another segfault on logout reported on gnome-shell-40.0-6.fc34.  I have a couple instances of it collected in ABRT:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1941283
"[abrt] gnome-shell: st_focus_manager_remove_group(): gnome-shell killed by SIGSEGV"

Comment 7 Ronald Warsow 2021-06-01 21:14:47 UTC
yup, gnome crashes on each(!) logout  (different user logout and all extensions are off)

Comment 8 James 2021-10-09 17:21:39 UTC
Tested in F35 for reference - still present: mutter-41.0-3.fc35.x86_64, gnome-shell-41.0-3.fc35.x86_64

Comment 9 Ben Cotton 2022-05-12 15:15:19 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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
'version' of '34'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 34 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 10 Ben Cotton 2022-06-07 21:13:10 UTC
Fedora Linux 34 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-06-07.

Fedora Linux 34 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.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
