Subject: gnome-shell segfaults
Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2017 14:31:10 +0000

So, I am not 100% sure if I encouter hardware failures or software
failures here. But I need to solve wether this is a GNOME bug to exclude
or include the hardware failure.

The following is the log output of a session with SSDM where I
succesfully log into "GNOME with Xorg" and launch the GNOME-Terminal
after I logged into GNOME.

The visual side of the log can be described like this: I can see how
the terminal application opens, but just a milisecond after it's ready I
see the window decoration disappearing, content of the application
stays, GNOME session crashes, on a dark scree I see for a moment:

vmunix: [  226.579414] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: DRM: 0xD4A7: Parsing digital output script table

and I get thrown back to the log in screen of SDDM.

Occasionally gnome-terminal or some other gnome part would crash my
gnome session when I still used SLIM.

This is on commit 883aab6462c49d4f4846a6f22168325e70227663
but has been happening for a very long time before this commit.

I use the Gnome terminal all the time and I can't confirm your
experience

CAVEATS:

1) I don't know whether I'm using SSDM or SLIM. I just took the basic
desktop conf file when I installed

2) this is my video card

~$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core
processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)

~$ egrep -i " connected|card detect|primary dev|Setting driver"

That's SLIM then.

Yes, I can confirm this too, as this only happens with AT and NVidia
cards for me. The one in the system I tested is supported well enough to
be slow in GNOME but can play back videos without lagging.
This is due to the firmware in linux-libre not offering all the features
the blob variant would provide.

I was not able to reproduce it with anything other than GNOME.

Closing this stale bug report.  Feel free to open a new one if you can
still reproduce it.

Thank you,
