Dear Maintainer,

Gnome crashed regularly without a reason. The most problems I do have with
virt-manager, videos and rocket.chat video call

The only reason I found was that:

journalctl -xe -t gnome-session

But the screensaver seems to run:

gnome-session is one component of GNOME, but not the only component. Please
look at the whole Journal for error messages, not just the gnome-session
topic.

I see you are using GNOME Shell from experimental, and GNOME Shell is
the most important component of the GNOME session, so the most likely
reason would seem to be GNOME Shell.

These are warnings, not fatal errors.

Hi Simon,

I add journalctl output from the minute I had this problem.
I hope that helps

maintainer will.

Please try with GNOME Shell extensions disabled: it's possible for them to
cause crashes.
