Help tracing back the cause of crashes

Post by gsagostinho »

Hi all,

Let me start by saying I am not sure this is the correct subforum for my problem so feel free to move this thread around as necessary.

I am a long time Mint user and I've recently bought a new laptop in which I am running Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64-bit. Everything is working fine except for a quite strange problem. Sometimes all programs in a workspace crash (all other workspaces stay intact). This seems to happen when I use the Alt key for some reason, either with Alt-F4 or Alt-Tab, though I am not completely sure this isn't just coincidental. Lately every time this happens I am checking my /var/log/syslog and I realized that at every crash I get similar warnings. Here are four instances of the relevant log:

I did check what was the process is causing the process (process 2496 in the bottom log, for instance) and it's normally gvfsd-trash.

Would anyone have any idea what is going on?

Many thanks!
Gilberto
