Hm, I don't see anything relevant in the log...I wonder why mutter closed the connection. Do you have anything in journal for instance? Thanks. (In reply to Martin Stransky from comment #1) > Hm, I don't see anything relevant in the log...I wonder why mutter closed > the connection. Do you have anything in journal for instance? Not really :/ But I found interesting that there's some clipboard-related messages just before the connection is closed. I didn't do anything other than move to the workspace were Firefox is. I see the same problem on Fedora 32: firefox-81.0.2-1.fc32.x86_64 Firefox is crashing several times per day Same here, I see many crashes, though I doubt that the cause is related to workspace switches in my case. running firefox in the console I see this message: IPDL protocol error: Handler returned error code! ###!!! [Parent][DispatchAsyncMessage] Error: PLayerTransaction::Msg_ReleaseLayer Processing error: message was deserialized, but the handler returned false (indicating failure) Gdk-Message: 19:54:18.997: Error flushing display: Broken pipe Exiting due to channel error. Crash Annotation GraphicsCriticalError: |[C0][GFX1-]: Receive IPC close with reason=AbnormalShutdown (t=8183.13) Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. so I'm not sure if this is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1889251 Created attachment 1723869 [details]
journal and wayland debug
In my case, the crash always seems to occur when I switch to the workspace containing a Firefox window after unlocking my screen.
I've attached a file which contains messages from the system journal around the time of a Firefox crash, and the end of a WAYLAND_DEBUG log.
In my case I don't have multiple workspaces, but it seems to be related to switching windows e.g. using Alt-Tab or using the hotspot with the mouse. It's still crashing - I just updated to firefox 82.0-4 on f32 This is getting to be a problem - crashing several times a day - I'm considering switching to chrome (and as a former Netscape employee, that kills me to write) Wonder if a good first step could be to add to gnome-shell's logging the reason why a client was disconnected. It will surely help in the future to Firefox and other applications as well, if their use of the Wayland protocol isn't what gnome-shell expects. btw. as a workaround you can use firefox-x11 which does not run on Wayland backend. From the log it looks like mutter is flooded with wayland objects - see the large wl_display chunk on a log end. But I don't know why Mutter does not process the wayland objects and we Firefox keeps to create them. It may be related to missing frame callbacks or so which may lead to cached drawings / shm memory exhaustion or so. Can you try to run firefox from commnad line with MOZ_LOG="WidgetWayland:5" env variable and attach the log here in a case of the crash? The log may be huge so please attach only last MB of the log. Thanks. Also wl_display(new id wl_callback@141564) does not look sane....we're not supposed to have such pile of active frame callbacks.
