@carlwgeorge thanks for the report, however none of the stack traces in your paste contain anything related to mkvtoolnix. Also, mkvtoolnix can't possibly be able to crash gnome-shell directly. I think it just exposed a bug in either gnome-shell or one of the drivers. Please report the crash via abrt (System Tools -> Problem Reporting) if possible. Does it happen only under Wayland or under Xorg as well? Does it happen with any other desktop environment?

Does this contain the fix for the block layer data corruption bug described in https://lwn.net/Articles/774440/ and https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201685 ?

Thank you for the feedback. Most certainly your crash is not related to libidn.

@jgu did it work in 27.0.0 or any previous version? Otherwise it's not a regression but a new bug and not a reason to hold this update.

@avij you're right, sorry about that. I forgot to do what @slaanesh just did (thank you!).

Why is this update (for F28) referencing an F30+ bug ticket?

It should still work with SeaMonkey, but yes, you're right. New builds with both classic and WebExtension versions done (like on F27-F28).

FYI you must not break upgrade paths between older and newer releases and dokuwiki-20180422a-2.fc27 is newer than dokuwiki-20180422a-1.fc28, which means rpm will consider it a downgrade when upgrading from F27 to F28 or newer. If you need a quick fix, please add a suffix, i.e. dokuwiki-20180422a-1.fc27.1 instead. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Versioning#You_need_to_change_an_old_branch_without_rebuilding_the_others for more details.

The correct thing to do now is to bump the Release field to 2%{dist} in F28+.

Works for me and together with https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-5829577f03 mitigates the Spectre v4 vulnerability.

Works for me:

Works fine and doesn't crash anymore (#1594596).

@rdieter Thanks for the quick backport of the fix!

No new issues, rt_cmos error fixed. HW: Intel Haswell machine.

Seems to work fine, but it would be nice if you added the link to the upstream release notes here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/61.0/releasenotes/ .

Sorry for late feedback, but I installed the update just yesterday. It's crashing on every startup with SIGTRAP. See https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/2112642/ and https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/2226345/ . Unfortunately I can't seem to be able to report it using abrt as the retrace server says it's an uknown package and refuses to run a retrace job and I don't have time and bandwith to generate the stack trace locally.

Crashes each time I try to switch my headset profile to A2DP:

$ pactl set-card-profile bluez_card.AA_BB_CC_DD_EE_FF a2dp_sink 
Connection failure: Connection terminated

ABRT doesn't seem to be able to report the crash automatically, so I reported it manually as #1594596 .

Works for me and fixes the PCCT error message, thanks.

This update has been unpushed.

Sorry, fails to install on F27:
