gnome-shell crashed with SIGABRT in GI_raise()

[Daniel Richard]

Description: Ubuntu 20.10
Release: 20.10

In the middle of work screen will randomly glitch green then revert to the login screen - behaviour with both Wayland and not Wayland. Apport.log shows:

ERROR: apport (pid 11042) Thu Nov 26 11:51:41 2020: called for pid 2318, signal 6, core limit 0, dump mode 1
ERROR: apport (pid 11042) Thu Nov 26 11:51:41 2020: executable: /usr/bin/gnome-shell (command line "/usr/bin/gnome-shell")

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It sounds like some part of the system has crashed. To help us find the cause of the crash please follow these steps:

1. Look in /var/crash for crash files and if found run:
    ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash
Then tell us the ID of the newly-created bug.

2. If step 1 failed then look at https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/ID where ID is the content of file /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id on the machine. Do you find any links to recent problems on that page? If so then please send the links to us.

3. If step 2 also failed then apply the workaround from bug 994921, reboot, reproduce the crash, and retry step 1.

Please take care to avoid attaching .crash files to bugs as we are unable to process them as file attachments. It would also be a security risk for yourself.

Hello,
Thank you very much! My apologies for attaching the crash file - I hadn't
realized this might be problematic.
I followed what you indicated (particularly #2) and found the following
links:
https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/2f0e2248-3008-11eb-8c9b-fa163e983629
https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/21ec9802-3008-11eb-b997-fa163e102db1
https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/5fdb36f4-2f3c-11eb-8677-fa163ee63de6

I think I may have erroneously send multiple of the same crash reports - my
apologies if this was the case.
Please let me know if there is anything else I might provide.

Thanks,

Daniel

Thanks. At least two of those are bug 1886059. So please help us to debug that one if you can.
