DetailsDescription:
Whenever my laptop is connected to a wifi hotspot (I tried with two different ones) but the hotspot is not connected to the internet (e.g. ISP is down, wlan cable is diconnected, phone cable is not connected) gnome hangs. The mouse moves but noting else happens. This happens only within a Gnome session (after login), gdm works fine. Steps to reproduce: 1) Turn on your computer and have it connected to a wifi hotspot. 2) at GDM, disconnect your hotspot from internet (e.g. disconnect the wlan cable, turn off the modem or disconnect the phone cable) 3) Login The grey backgound appear. The mouse pointer appears and moves. Gnome just freezes. 4) While in that situation, turn off computer wifi (e.g. with fn keys or put it in ariplane mode) Gnome comes to life again and works fine. 5) Try to tun on wifi again... after it reconnectes, gnome freezes again |
This task depends upon

I did login at 8:48 having my wifi access point disconnected from the Internet (internet cable unplugged).
The shell hung... after about 30 seconds I put the laptop in airplane mode (fn+F2) and gnome shell came back to life.
Then I reconnected the internet cable of my WiFi access point and switched airplane mode off. As soon as the laptop connected to the wifi, gnome shell hung for a few seconds and then came back to life.
The issue is not with GS itself but with OpenWeather extension.
I've reported the bug on the extension project page: https://github.com/jenslody/gnome-shell-extension-openweather/issues/82
Anyway IMHO, the extensions should run in separate threads in order to prevent a single buggy extension to freeze the entire desktop.
