Thanks for your report. Can you provide steps to reproduce this issue?

[Zomite Akora (zokarata)]

Unfortunately I can't.

[Zomite Akora (zokarata)]

I did switch from gnome into unity and it reproduced.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

Do you have a script or a set of commands that you're running in gjs and would trigger this bug?

[Mario Abarca (knkillname)]

I got this error by doing nothing in particular. I was just checking Facebook on Google Chrome when the error message popped up. Sadly I had just made a fresh install of Ubuntu 17.10 and then installed a lot of metapackages which I need to work.

[Ashwin (ashwinjmathew)]

I get this error as well. Nothing in particular seems to trigger it - my Gnome session just crashes. Sometimes while I'm working, sometimes while I've stepped away from my laptop.

I'm on Ubuntu 17.10 with all current updates applied.

same for me on bionic
