Yes it does, again just 20s ago, after a fresh restart... and I am going to get it every 5mn doing nothing special.

Interesting - there are two GNOME releases difference (3.20 in Leap vs 3.24 in TW) Please extract a backtrace: coredumpctl gdb gnome-shell it will likely tell you to install missing debuginfo packagges - do so, to get a useful trace at the (gdb) prompt, type: thread apply all bt full (eedinfo set - waiting for backtrace) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I know of at least one that causes the occasional crash and reload of gnome-shell leaving a coredump behind, namely the "Random Wallpaper" extension. But there may be others. Does starting with all extensions disabled (e.g. from gnome-tweak-tool -> Extensions) help? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Fred and/or Ulrich, do you have any extensions installed?

How do I list such? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

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:

Thanks all for the help. Cheers, fred

Hey Fred, Sorry, I have no idea why this is not working in your case. On my system, it just works, I haven't had to modify any configuration from the default TW installation to get this working. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
