So GNOME would frequently crash out of nowhere, mostly when unlocking from GDM or using firefox (which may or may not be from the same cause). I have no idea what may have caused this (hence the title). All I know is dmesg has an entry kinda like this whenever it crashes
gnome-shell[983]: segfault at 2 ip 00007fe20378d9e2 sp 00007ffe8fa69d50 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.5400.0[7fe203755000+54000]
and with journalctl I get 2 stack traces

It would be nice if there's a solution but if not I'd appreciate any advice on how I can investigate this and find the cause.

The identical issue here, looking for a solution..
Offline
It has crashed several times since (both on login and during usage). The stacktrace for gnome-shell is always the same and it has something to do with libgobject.

Likely https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788931
Current workaround is to disable extensions that are affected by this.

I tried to disable the whole extensions in
gnome-shell-extension-prefs
GUI, and tried to lock screen and unlock. The issue remains. Would you please tell me which one you have disabled and fixed this issue?

For me it was the Arch Linux Update Indicator, but other extensions are mentioned in the bug report. After disabling you should probably reload gnome shell (Alt + F2, type "r" and press Enter)
Offline
Happens with no extension enabled.
This bug seems to have been going on for ages yet never fixed. I remember seeing a report for it long ago.
Offline
I have the same problem. I need to reboot every hour. It's killing my workflow.
It seems to be a gjs / gnome related bug.. I don't really know. Still waiting for updates and fixes.
