When I notice that it has crashed, I tried to submit a bug report from the Problems application. But it says that there isn’t enough information to report the bug.

How do I get enough information to submit the bug?

When it crashes, it stops my Calendar, Contacts, and Email (Geary) from syncing with Google. What is the best way to restart this service other than rebooting?

I also have issues with geoclue and packagekitd. It’d be nice to properly report the bugs so that they can be fixed and provide much-needed stability.

Thanks,

Pete

In a way I gave up with this issue and decided to uninstall it from my system. This sadly uninstalled Gnome Photos too but other than that, there have been no more crashes or side-effects.

This seems unrelated.

dleyna-renderer is a D-Bus service, so it should get automatically restarted by the D-Bus machinery.

You could use coredumpctl to get some backtraces from those crashes. I spent some time triaging the existing crash reports on the Fedora bugzilla, so you can check if there’s already an exising bug report for those.

It so happens that right now I am actually looking at fixing some of these crashes, so I might even ask you some questions. :slight_smile:
