Teams on Linux silently crashes my Linux machine

I was happy when MS finally released a MS Team for Linux officially. After several days, I my Linux laptop getting crashed every time it was on battery without charging cable. I thought it was Linux problem since I have just updated to Ubuntu 20.04.

Today I decided to look up for crash logs and guess what, Teams was mentioned in the crash log at that time. Tried to kill Teams ASAP after boot up, using my laptop smoothly until battery drained out.

Ha! Never know that an application running without root permission can crash you OS.

Hope that someone can help to file a bugreport.

@RajaShekarReddyManda-4603 if you have Wayland, this is unfortunately known issue. For the time being, you would need to switch to X11 to do screen sharing. I'm sorry for the inconvenience

DONT DO THIS !

This gives MS FULL CONTROL over your machine - they now can easily replace every package without being noticed.


Deb packages are NOT meant to be installed from outside the distro, especially not from untrusted sources.
Use containers instead.

Hi BaLe-3864!

Does this issue persist only on Ubuntu 20.10?

Does anyone else have the same issue?

In this case, we recommend you try to uninstall Teams for Linux app and install it manually by running the following commands:

 curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | sudo apt-key add -
     
 sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/ms-teams stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/teams.list'
     
 sudo apt update
 sudo apt install teams

Hello,

I'm not sure about other versions since I have only one machine at the moment and already running dual boot.

I will give the result after reinstalling it.

Good morning,

Teams is also crashing my Ubuntu 20.04, on a desktop, no batteries involved.

Here is what I could find in dmesg:

[25050.559563] GpuWatchdog[2280]: segfault at 0 ip 000055d620d75006 sp 00007efc97e3e4d0 error 6 in teams[55d61d3df000+5fbe000]

Yesterdays's crash was limited to teams itself, the previous two hung up X while allowing the mouse to run around freely unable to click a thing. the dmesg messages for those are gone.

I hope this makes Teams better for Linux.

One hour later...

After typing al this the penny dropped and I went searching for a better GPU driver. Ubuntu offered the NVidia one so I installed it. If it crashes again I'll report it here.
