Hi all,
I'm writing to ask for attention on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1518486
F27 brought a major crashing regression in GNOME. It must not affect everyone, or I think it would have held up release. But for the people it affects, shutting off the monitor, including by screen locker DPMS, crashes GNOME. It's not just esoteric systems either--mine is an Intel NUC connected to an ASUS monitor by DP cable.
There are a couple upstream bugs that seem related: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788764 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788788
If I can do anything to provide more information, or test patches, please let me know. Mainly it would just be nice to know it's on someone's radar.
Thanks, Aron
