gnome-shell crashes randomly But I don't know whether it's a gnome-shell bug or a nvidia bug. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. move the mouse to the upper-left corner(or click activities) 2. gnome-shell crashes and restarts.(quite often but not always.) 3. Expected Results: no crash... $ emerge --info Portage 2.2.2 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.4.5, glibc-2.11.2-r2, 2.6.38-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.38-gentoo-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_T7300_@_2.00GHz-with-gentoo-2.1.8 Portage Tree: /usr/portage Portage HEAD: refs/heads/funtoo.org /usr/portage/.git/refs/heads/funtoo.org ccache version 3.1.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 4.1_p10 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11-r3::funtoo dev-lang/python: 2.6.6-r1 dev-util/ccache: 3.1.4 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.4 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.1.8-r2::funtoo sys-apps/openrc: 0.7.0 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.5 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13::funtoo, 2.68::funtoo sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3::funtoo, 1.10.3::funtoo, 1.11.1::funtoo sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1::funtoo sys-devel/gcc: 4.3.3-r2::funtoo, 4.4.5::funtoo sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1::funtoo sys-devel/libtool: 2.4-r1 sys-devel/make: 3.81-r2::funtoo virtual/os-headers: 2.6.32::funtoo (sys-kernel/linux-headers) Repositories: gentoo gentoo-china gnome sunrise mozilla oss-overlay jamesjjx-repo ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/php/apache2-php5.3/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5.3/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5.3/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs ccache collision-protect distlocks fixlafiles fixpackages mini-manifest news parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" FFLAGS="" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.twaren.net/Linux/Gentoo/ http://ftp.cs.pu.edu.tw/Linux/Gentoo/ ftp://ftp.twaren.net/Linux/Gentoo/" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="en_US" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/var/lib/layman/gentoo-china /var/lib/layman/gnome /var/lib/layman/sunrise /var/lib/layman/mozilla /var/lib/layman/oss-overlay /usr/local/portage/jamesjjx" SYNC="git://github.com/funtoo/portage-mini-2010.git" SYNC_USER="root" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alac alsa amd64 asf bash-completion berkdb branding bzip2 cairo cdr cleartype cli consolekit cracklib crypt cups cxx dbus dri dts dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode esd exif fam fbcondecor firefox flac fortran gdbm gdu gif glitz gnome gnome-keyring gpm gtk hdaps iconv ipv6 jpeg kpathsea lame lcms ldap libnotify mad mikmod mmx mng modules mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia ogg opengl openmp pam pango pcre pdf perl png policykit ppds pppd python qt3support readline sdl session spell sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg symlink sysfs tcpd tiff truetype udev unicode usb vdpau vim-syntax vorbis wavpack x264 xcb xcomposite xinerama xml xorg xulrunner xv xvid xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CAMERAS="ptp2" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="synaptics evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en_US" PHP_TARGETS="php5-3" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, SYNC_UMASK

Is this still valid on a fully updated system?
the problem went away one or two months ago after an update of gnome-shell. James
