gnome-shell segfaults

So, I am not 100% sure if I encouter hardware failures or software

failures here. But I need to solve wether this is a GNOME bug to exclude

or include the hardware failure.

The following is the log output of a session with SSDM where I

succesfully log into "GNOME with Xorg" and launch the GNOME-Terminal

after I logged into GNOME.

The visual side of the log can be described like this: I can see how

the terminal application opens, but just a milisecond after it's ready I

see the window decoration disappearing, content of the application

stays, GNOME session crashes, on a dark scree I see for a moment:

vmunix: [ 226.579414] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: DRM: 0xD4A7: Parsing digital output script table

and I get thrown back to the log in screen of SDDM.

Occasionally gnome-terminal or some other gnome part would crash my

gnome session when I still used SLIM.

This is on commit 883aab6462c49d4f4846a6f22168325e70227663

but has been happening for a very long time before this commit.

I use the Gnome terminal all the time and I can't confirm your

experience

CAVEATS:

1) I don't know whether I'm using SSDM or SLIM. I just took the basic

desktop conf file when I installed

2) this is my video card

~$ lspci | grep VGA

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core

processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)

~$ egrep -i " connected|card detect|primary dev|Setting driver"

/var/log/Xorg.0.log

[ 7.760] (II) intel(0): Using Kernel Mode Setting driver: i915, version

That's SLIM then.

Yes, I can confirm this too, as this only happens with AT and NVidia

cards for me. The one in the system I tested is supported well enough to

be slow in GNOME but can play back videos without lagging.

This is due to the firmware in linux-libre not offering all the features

the blob variant would provide.

I was not able to reproduce it with anything other than GNOME.

Catonano, ng0,

Can you tell whether this bug still applies?

TIA,
