Fedora 35 crashes with all updates applied. How do I submit a bug report re. crashing in Gnome but probably Kernel bug.
Hello,
I have Fedora set up with Fedora 35 (workstation edition) using Gnome 41.6.
I notice a (annoying!) bug which occurs when I try and cut and paste from one window to another. What seems to happen is that the Gnome session closes and it dumps me into terminal mode. If I type Ctrl-C then Gnome restarts and a new user session is presented. Prior to my most recent update, this bug seemed even worse in its frequency and scope. But still, I am now continuing to potentially losing work (and basic functionality).
This might be a Kernel error using shared memory between threads or processes but I really don't know. It's a guess. Anyhow, what do I need to do, to file a bug and what memory or process dumps/logs/stack traces are needed to help the developers. ie what do I type where!
Thank-you.
Andrew, Oxford(UK)

I suggest that you open a bug, describing your experiences. The maintainers of Gnome will have a much better idea of what they need to diagnose or fix the bug. If you search for bugs, you might even find that this is already known (there is an already opened bugzilla), and there might be a workaround.

I have been seeing this as well. It seems a lot more stable after I downgraded gnome-shell.
