Comment # 10 on bug 1030828 from Fred Blaise

Hey Atri,

Good point.

Yes, I had 4:
* Clipboard indicator
* Dash to panel
* kstatusnotifieritem/appindicator support
* System monitor

I just disabled them all. It looks much more stable. I am going to re-enable
them 1 by 1 to see.

Also -- and for the purpose of helping debugging this -- any idea why
systemd-coredump is not taking gnome-shell dump? (Any good pointers
appreciated.. found a few, but I still couldn't make it take a dump for this
big process)

Jul 27 10:34:01 gimli systemd-coredump[11202]: Resource limits disable core
dumping for process 6651 (gnome-shell).

The process is less than 3G, so I up'ed /etc/systemd/coredump.conf such as:

[Coredump]
Storage=external
Compress=yes
ProcessSizeMax=4G
ExternalSizeMax=4G
JournalSizeMax=767M
#MaxUse=
#KeepFree=

It does work for some other processes:

$ coredumpctl list
