Details

I've always had some Gnome Shell crashes on my setup, but they were quite rare. Now in the past few months, they've become very frequent, my Gnome Shell sessions hardly last more than 10 minutes before crashing...

I get:

org.gnome.Shell.desktop[2601]: intel_do_flush_locked failed: No space left on device

Next thing I know I'm back to the gdm login screen.
I use a Mac mini with Gnome Shell in X11 mode, has an Intel 945GM.

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

Latest Arch running linux-hardened kernel.

Please try the modesetting driver instead of xf86-video-intel. This is probably a bug in xf86-video-intel where shared memory is exhausted.

If I remove the xf86-video-intel, X doesn't start, I get:

x86_64 or i686 system?
Comment by Mathieu MB (Sixtiz) - Monday, 06 August 2018, 11:54 GMT
It's x86_64

Modesetting works if disabling acceleration (I guess 945GM cards don't support OpenGL 2.1), but obviously it's very slow and CPU intensive... No crashes however. Intel driver still frequently gives the error.

Is this still an issue?
