Gnome Shell crashes when opening some apps

Hi to all
When I open telegram (community) or discord (snap) gnome shell crashes (these are the apps I can tell this is always happening). My system is fully updated.
I tried to disable some extensions but with no luck.
Thanks

My crash log:

13:21:51 systemd-coredum: Process 37771 (gnome-shell) of user 1000 dumped core.

Re: Gnome Shell crashes when opening some apps

Same problem here, since sometime Tuesday (Mar 22). I've tried downgrading a few packages (including mutter) but not yet found the culprit. Apps that are giving me the same problem as described by OP include slack and virt-manager.

Re: Gnome Shell crashes when opening some apps

I had the same issue but it seems due to the AppIndicator GNOME extension

Disabling the extension fixed the crashes

Re: Gnome Shell crashes when opening some apps

Turns out there's a bug for this - https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/70117?p … string=gjs

Confirming the workaround documented in the bug report resolves the issue - though I do use AppIndicator as well, so that could be certainly be a factor

Re: Gnome Shell crashes when opening some apps

I'm also using this AppIndicator extension and downgrading gjs to 2:1.66.1-1 seems to fix the issue.

Re: Gnome Shell crashes when opening some apps

Good to know...I thought it was a different kind of issue...I created another user on my system just to check if it was my fault or not. I didn't downgrade btw. I disabled a couple of extensions (similar to appindicator) and so far...

Re: Gnome Shell crashes when opening some apps

In my case there were many applications crashing, I had to follow the solution mentioned in the tickets suggested by dllmr.  Disabling gnome-shell extensions one by one didn't help.
I downgraded gjs with

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gjs-2:1.66.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Everything works now as expected.
