gnome-shell crashed with SIGSEGV in st_theme_node_get_icon_style() from st_texture_cache_load_gicon() from st_icon_update() from _g_closure_invoke_va() from g_signal_emit_valist()

Possibly related (just landed this week in gnome-shell, before version 3.36.1):

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/commit/3dd8ffc2bb1cef

Thought this was fixed with gnome 3.36, but I got it when I 1:st closed Gmail and then Chrome.

In comment #1 I was referring to a fix coming in gnome-shell 3.36.1, which is not yet in Ubuntu. Maybe that will help here, eventually.

Looks a little similar to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2596

i got this error when hovering with the mouse over the system tray as described in the bug report however Iam using X11 and not wayland

i have the following crash files:
-rw-r----- 1 root root 95M Mai 10 13:15 _usr_bin_gnome-shell.1000.crash
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mai 10 13:15 _usr_bin_gnome-shell.1000.upload
-rw------- 1 root root 37 Mai 10 13:15 _usr_bin_gnome-shell.1000.uploaded
-rw-r----- 1 root root 2,4M Mai 10 13:15 _usr_lib_x86_64-linux-gnu_libexec_kdeconnectd.1000.crash

-rw------- 1 root root 37 Mai 10 13:15 _usr_lib_x86_64-linux-gnu_libexec_kdeconnectd.1000.uploaded

The upstream bug claims to have the same root cause as Ubuntu bug 1868440 so it sounds like it's fixed in that case.

I don't know if this is related. It seems I always get a crash either when I start suspend or when I return from suspend. When I send the crash report launchpad don't open. The crash is in gnome-shell and the crash message is "gnome-shell crashed with SIGSEGV in_st_theme_node_ensure_background()".
It might be related to my installation and I will reinstall Focal later today.

That sounds like bug 1877774

or bug 1788429

I don't have problems with suspend any longer. I think this bug is fixed.

However I'm not using the standard kernel. I'm using Kernel:
5.7.7-050707-generic x86_64.
I had a problem with Chrome freezing the computer and this kernel fixed
that problem.

The upstream fix seems to be in 3.37.1 and 3.36.2. Yet focal has 51 crash reports in 3.36.2 and later. So I think the upstream bug maybe should still be open (not a duplicate):

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2596

That said, 51 is much lower than the 3000 crash reports from 3.36.0-3.36.1 so maybe upstream did fix most of the problem.
