Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.16.2-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When I log in this machine (with Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU        U3400  @
1.07GHz) after booting, the normal screen of gnome-shell DE appears, but the
whole screen turns black. If I press a key, the lockdown screen appears.
When I
try to type the password, it enters an endless loop as if the unlock button
were
clicked repeatedly, as the screen starts blinking, and any input to the
password
textbox disappears, except that a notice like "authentication failed(In
Chinese)" is shown. With the help of my friend, I tried to login from
text ttys
(1~6), and restart gdm3. But the gnome-shell crashes, with the following
lines
in the syslog:

>Jul  2 19:29:49 toshiba-chenlin kernel: [  115.119886] traps: gnome-
shell[3129] trap invalid opcode ip:7f729104a639 sp:7ffc81171df8 error:0
>Jul  2 19:29:51 toshiba-chenlin dbus[1950]: [system] Activating service
name='org.freedesktop.GeoClue2' (using servicehelper)
>Jul  2 19:29:51 toshiba-chenlin dbus[1950]: [system] Successfully activated
service 'org.freedesktop.GeoClue2'
>Jul  2 19:29:51 toshiba-chenlin kernel: [  117.825838] traps: gnome-
shell[3218] trap invalid opcode ip:7f857808d639 sp:7ffef6ea8d78 error:0
>Jul  2 19:29:51 toshiba-chenlin gnome-session[3064]: WARNING: App 'gnome-
shell.desktop' respawning too quickly

And it seems the above "black screen" phenomenon is also caused by the
crash of
gnome shell.

Now I have to switch to an lxde env I installed earlier for work.

This bug nevers appears on any other machines I know, running debian testing
and full gnome DE.


My friend tried to get cores from any possible crashed program, but
could not
find any way. If you have and idea about how to get cores for
gdm3,please let
me know, so I can gather more info for the bug.
