GNOME crash during installation or update of anything

Hi everyone,

I've an Archlinux with GNOME 3.36.3, when I install or update anything the system GNOME crash and I can't do anything (not even switch to tty).

This is my Xorg.0.log and journalctl -e.

Any ideas?

Have you done a full system update?

Yes, I've done.
I noticed that GNOME crash when Arch have to do a heavy compiling.
If I switch to tty3, do the installation/update and return to tty1 GNOME give me a session error.

Re: GNOME crash during installation or update of anything

This does seem very odd.  I have just had problems with crashing, though.  In my case I could not run VirtualBox with either Chromium of the GNOME Web browser (epiphany).  I could start Chromium first and then starting a VirtualBox VM would cause a hard lockup.  Or I could start VirtualBox first and start the VM and all would be fine until starting one of the web browsers and then it would lock up.

Reverting to kernel 5.7.9-arch1-1 from 5.8.1 and downgrading to the matching version of virtualbox 6.1.12-2 has solved it.
