Description Sebastian Keller 2016-12-14 13:14:02 UTC 
When gnome-shell crashes multiple times and the fail whale dialog is supposed to show up, gnome-session immediately exits. This is due to 'gnome-session-failed' segfaulting. If I'm reading the 'abrt' output correctly, it doesn't seem to have the 'DISPLAY' environment variable set and manually running 'gnome-session-failed' without it reproduces the crash with the same backtrace. Running it with the correct 'DISPLAY' environment variable set works as expected.

Backtrace:

Ups, no.. my bad. the other bug was clearly about wayland where -failed could not possibly work.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version of gnome-session, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-session/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
