gnome-shell has been crashing at least once a day here, but attempts to report the problem through ABRT are leading to an old (Fedora 15!) bug. Apparently libnvidia-glcore.so is segfaullting (I’m using Nouveau driver BTW).
Is it really a dead end? I Or should I try to report it directly to nouveau devs? I could always try the proprietary driver, but for the time being I would like to stick to nouveau if possible.
Hello @ocosta ,
Do you have an output of the journal in particular the boot that crashed, and errors or - -priority=3. So journalctl -b -1 --priority=3
Hi @jakfrost , thanks for reaching out. The output follows below, but weirdly enough it shows only entries from yesterday around 8pm and 10pm (even though it also crashed today around 12pm BRT)

Let me know if you need any additional info. Cheers!
FWIW here’s the ABRT Analytics report for the latest crash (a couple of minutes ago).
Right before the crash, I noticed that Chrome (which was opened but I was not interacting with) showed a weird checkerboard-like pattern. After that, I was thrown to a console, and a couple of seconds later the login screen was shown. However, attempts to login were unsuccessful, it would go directly to the console and then a couple of seconds later back to the login screen again. I had to reboot.
Hello @ocosta ,
Is this a new install or an upgrade? If either, I am assuming you are using Fedora Linux Workstation, if so can you do a sudo dnf update, or if it is Silverblue or Kinoite, or IoT, could you do an rpm-ostree update to make sure everything is okay? It seems to be related to the gnome-session and when I look at the related bug reports, oddly enough it seems the same fonts are also listed along with the gnome-session. I think that old issue is likely carried forward somewhere if it still exists, just may have another name.
