[SOLVED] (GNOME 47) GTK 4.16.1 generates Wayland protocol error

I just tried updating to GNOME 47 which has now landed in the testing repositories, but starting Nautilus gives the following error:

** Message: 13:33:23.840: Connecting to org.freedesktop.Tracker3.Miner.Files
Gdk-Message: 13:33:24.116: Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display

If I downgrade GTK to 4.14.5 in the stable repositories, it starts again, but there is no background, probably because it uses new CSS syntax and the older GTK doesn't support parsing that.

GNOME Control Center also doesn't start until GTK is downgraded.

Anyone else seeing this or is this problem unique to me?

Re: [SOLVED] (GNOME 47) GTK 4.16.1 generates Wayland protocol error

... and as I was posting this after experiencing it yesterday and now still having it, I apparently rubber-ducked myself, remembered GTK 4.16 switched to Vulkan as default renderer, set

GSK_RENDERER=ngl

in

/etc/environment

and it's fixed.

I'm on an AMD iGPU, but looks like there are still some issues here?

Faced the same issue as GNOME 47 has now moved to [Extra].

The fix above worked.

I'm not sure I would mark this as [SOLVED] as there is clearly a bug in GTK. This should be reported somewhere. I'm a bit lost now that the arch linux bugtracker has been migrated to gitlab but I'll give it a try.

Has this been reported? I can do it.

Same issue here, GSK_RENDERER=ngl works

I tried signing up for the Arch Gitlab, but never got a confirmation email. I'm not sure how you're supposed to report bugs now? ?

Faced this on my desktop with an AMD discrete GPU as well. Previously, it was on my laptop with an integrated GPU.

I checked the GTK issues, I think this has been reported already and is not related to GTK according to the answers in this report:
