Gnome Shell crash
Last modified: 2017-10-17 00:19:59 UTC
Hi, after the update to 3.26.1 (from 3.24) the gnome shell crashes from time to time without obvious reason so I'm not sure how to reproduce this. Excert from journalctl: Okt 09 21:36:44 sunflower org.gnome.Shell.desktop[16506]: Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x1600007 specified for 0x160000f (Passwort e).

Thanks for taking the time to report this. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it. Can you get us a stack trace with debug symbols installed for libmozjs, gnome-shell and glib2 please?
Sure, how do I do that? For adding the debug symbols, I need to compile them manually?
It depends on your distro - on Fedora, you'd use something like # dnf debuginfo-install glib2 gjs mutter gnome-shell SuSE/Debian/Ubuntu have their own command to install debug info. Other distros like Arch/Gentoo don't split out debug info that can be installed, so in that case users indeed have to recompile the packages in question.
Hi, I'm facing the same problem as reported by Marius Melzer. I saw others similar issues opened, but I think this was close to my problem. I use Arch Linux, the a recompile the js52 package (with debug symbol enabled) what is the one who contains the libmozjs. Folow the stack trace: Process 3599 (gnome-shell) of user 1000 dumped core.
