Note that the error message mentions different .css-files depending on the desktop environment or theme you are running.

I wonder why it is indeed looking for a file with a theme name like `/org/gnome/clocks/css/gnome-clocks.adwaita.css`. Indeed the package contains `/org/gnome/clocks/css/gnome-clocks.css` and such file is also listed as a gresource..

I googled similar errors and I found out that this is just a warning, and likely not the cause of the segmentation fault.
An example here of a functioning gnome-clocks with the same warning: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/gnome-calendar-and-clocks-doesnt-work-after-3-36-upgrade/131394/12

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.

With bug 1873077 fixed in version 3.36.0-1ubuntu0.1, does anyone still get a crash at startup?

I tested on my 20.04 system, and it seems to work fine. If no one are still able to trigger a crash, I assume this was a duplicate.

Hi, `gnome-clocks --version`` shows Clocks 3.36.0 and I'm still experiencing segfault. I think that is the latest version with the fix?
