Gnome session crashes

Since recently my Gnome session crashes frequently, throwing me back to GDM. Unfortunately I have no clue what causes it, it seems to be rather random. This is the output I got the last time in journald:

Actually I am not really sure if anything there is giving a hint for the cause, a lot of the errors there are likely only effects of the underlying crash. Has anybody some idea how I could dig deeper? It's a bit hard to debug since I have to wait for it to happen

Re: Gnome session crashes

I had the same problem on debian and the following worker for me:

dpkg-reconfigure gnome-shell
dpkg-reconfigure xorg

Hope this helps
