GNOME shell / login crash

[andrea]

Hi

I am experiencing a lot of crashes just after logging in into GNOME.
I am using Fedora 28 fully updated and upgraded from 27.

I have already tried to remove all the extensions from .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions

But it still happens.
It does not happens always, but as soon as it happens I have to reboot.

Any ideas?

Have you checked the journal to see if there's a message or stack trace 
about what happened?

Have performed a full reinstall of Fedora 28.
Deleted (for some users) every single . file.
After a few day it stated again.

Have now reluctantly switched to KDE + SDDM.

I haven't followed all the thread...
Have you tried GNOME Classic?

I guess I'm having the same problem on Fedora 28, but I didn't have the 
time to debug it yet so I switched to GNOME Classic, which works fine.

When you say "same problem" and "works fine": is your problem 100% reproducible?

Difficult to tell if it works or not as the problem seems to appear only after hours from the boot.
And I did read that GNOME improved garbage collection in javascript...

If you have 100% login crash, it is probably something else.

Which one are you?

Ok, then it's different.

The first time I upgraded to Fedora 28, about 10 days ago, it crashed 
at login only at first try, not the second try.
Recently it crashed 100% of times, so I changed to GNOME Classic, which 
works.
