gnome-shell keep crashing these last days (April 2015)

sometimes it restarts

sometimes it does not even restart...

Closing as this report is not specific enough.

[Luc Pi (oluc)]

No. Really.
You close this report because it's 2 year old and the package has been updated multiple times since, and nobody cares (anymore). I'm sorry that I took time to report this issue. In the future, I won't anymore.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.

At a minimum, we need:
1. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem.
2. The behavior you expected.
3. The behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).

Also, for crash bugs, we need data from the crash itself.

Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS has reached end of life after 3 years of support and gnome-shell is no longer supported in 14.04 LTS.

No. Absolutely, NO. Really.
