Gnome-shell crashes when we use "workspace-grid" extension ( affects gnome-shell=3.30.2 ) #106
Comments
I have reported this issue in gnome-shell's bug tracker too |
I did some debugging and I can confirm that, it is not a mutter bug. Actual problem lies on this function call
@ https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/blob/master/src/x11/meta-x11-display.c#L1308 which returns wrong value. Due to that wrong value, the condition @ https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/blob/master/src/core/workspace.c#L537
evaluates false and the This is the root cause of this bug. failure to compute |
In 3x3 workspace grid, This bug happens only when I restart the shell from workspace other than workspace_no 1 It means, it seems like a computation problem in grid layout |
It also happens sometimes after unlocking a gnome session. |
I was crashing with the latest updates that came down on Ubuntu 18.04.01 LTS (it was still gnome-shell 3.28.x) using workplace-grid from the gnome extensions site, but only when I was running Android emulators. If you switched away from a workspace with an emulator visible, it would crash with very similar results to those posted (though I was sadly unable to get apport-retrace to do anything useful for me...). It seems to be working fine with Ubuntu 18.10 + gnome-shell 3.30.1 though. Have you tried reverting? I'm just curious because I did a full OS upgrade (18.04 -> 18.10) to access gnome-shell 3.30.x which is currently working for me. But if 3.30.2 is going to make me crashy again I'll know to wait... |
