GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 635019
Shell randomly hangs when resuming from suspend
Last modified: 2013-02-01 12:46:56 UTC
Sometimes when resuming my laptop from suspend, the Shell hangs, but that's not always the case. When it hangs, I can still click on the top menu, and menus get highlighted, but they don't open. The ripples from the Activities corner appeared and stayed there once, but it wasn't possible to go to the overview. The messaging bar was shown, but not responsive. The keyboard Logo key wasn't able to trigger the overview either, and Alt+F2 didn't prompt the launch dialog. Killing mutter is enough to fix the problem, but I always see visual artifacts after suspending, so X.org may not be really happy (but there are no errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/log/messages).

I get the same behaviour: Gnome-Shell appears to be frozen, but mouse works and pressing activities, clock or anything on the top panel shows the item being highlighted, but nothing opens. This is with Fedora 15 with all updates applied. Graphics card is a Radeon HD4870 with whatever default driver Fedora chooses for it. It does not appear on every resume from suspend, but often enough to make it really annoying.
Hey Milan, I doubt you're still seeing this with 3.6 these days?
Indeed... ;-)
