[SOLVED] Updating systemd from 253 to 254 breaks gnome-shell restart

Restarting GNOME with Alt-f2 + r with systemd 253 works fine, but ever since upgrading to systemd 254, Alt-f2 + r says that "something has gone wrong", the system can't recover, and prompts me to logout.

Here are what appear to be the relevant logs:

Re: [SOLVED] Updating systemd from 253 to 254 breaks gnome-shell restart

How about you also post the "irrelevant" part of the logs? Gnome seems to have crashed multiple times in a row by the time what you deemed relevant.
Therefore also https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Core_d … _core_dump

I tried it again, so here are all the logs containing "gnome" leading up to the segfault until the crash notification appeared on my screen:

I tried coredumpctl list multiple times (even switching to tty immediately after the crash), but for some reason no coredumps are listed and /var/lib/systemd/coredump/ is empty.

The reason why it seems multiple crashes occurred in the original post was because I had repeated the Alt+F2+r crash multiple times before the original log excerpt to try and determine whether my gnome extensions are responsible (I don't think they are).

Re: [SOLVED] Updating systemd from 253 to 254 breaks gnome-shell restart

Done: http://0x0.st/H_IZ.txt

I repeated the Alt-F2-r crash twice in those logs (one at 2:45 and one at 2:46) to try and find the coredumps.

gnome starts, crashes in libX11 with what looks like a corrupted stack during wifi init, restarts, stops 3s later, crashes in libmutter (w/ stack corrupted?) restarts after a re-login, crashes in libX11 again (again around wifi failures), restarts, stops 19s later, crashes in libmutter

You're not getting rid of /run/user/1000/gnome-shell-disable-extensions after the first crash.

Are you certain that it's the systemd update (did you try to downgrade systemd?)
The two crashes in libX11 don't look like they're related to explicit restart events are happen out of the blue (save the suspicious wifi activity)

Can you reboot and only use the ethernet connection? Do you still get those crashes in libX11?

Re: [SOLVED] Updating systemd from 253 to 254 breaks gnome-shell restart

The crash after re-login was manually triggered by me, so it appears to only be 2 segfaults per Alt+F2+r. What I visually observed when I run Alt + F2 + r is that first the GNOME crash screen appears, then the gnome-shell automatically tries to reset my workspace, only for the crash screen to appear again.

I am sure it is related to the systemd update, because I have downgraded back to 253 multiple times, and it is consistently on 254 where this is a problem.

I do not have ethernet, and I doubt wifi has anything to do with it since these crashes occur regardless of my network stability. I only run GNOME in XOrg, so I'm not sure what you mean by still getting the crashes in libX11.

Re: [SOLVED] Updating systemd from 253 to 254 breaks gnome-shell restart

Have you downgraded systemd in isolation or the entire system for those tests?
(I don't like the stack corruption and there's some massive problem glibc right now)

There's a similar https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1942031 - on a wild guess and because it's gnome, does this also happen when using GDM isntead of lightdm?

so I'm not sure what you mean by still getting the crashes in libX11.

There're two different crash patterns, the one ending in libX11 likely the originator when you try to restart and the one in libmutter the follow-up crash when gnome tries to recover from that.

Re: [SOLVED] Updating systemd from 253 to 254 breaks gnome-shell restart

I only downgraded systemd for those tests using the downgrade package from the AUR.

Edit: Disabling lightdm and enabling gdm still leads to the same crash: http://0x0.st/H_IJ.txt

Does the Alt+F2 window actually show up?
Can you

dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.gnome.Shell /org/gnome/Shell org.gnome.Shell.Eval string:'global.reexec_self()'

w/o the crash?

Re: [SOLVED] Updating systemd from 253 to 254 breaks gnome-shell restart

The window does show up, and running commands like "rt" (which restart only the shell theme) appear to work fine.

Output is:

method return time=1691847425.387602 sender=:1.13 -> destination=:1.102 serial=635 reply_serial=2
   boolean false
   string ""

Re: [SOLVED] Updating systemd from 253 to 254 breaks gnome-shell restart

Oh, great. You cannot trigger this externally anymore.
https://github.com/ramottamado/unsafe-mode

As if anybody would ever want to debug *what* "hAs gOnE WrOnG"… roll

You probably want to test the behavior w/ a fresh user account to ensure it's not a local config/extension (though gnome plans to deactivate them) and then file a bug upstream (gnome)

I suspect that something™ wants to talk to the X11 server during the process termination what fails w/ an X error, gtk figures it's time for a pointless segfault instead of handling (or just ignoring) that error (which is unfortunately normal) and induces a crash-on-exit where the stack is already gone.
Because of the systemd update being relevant, this is probably related to some user service and ultimately a race condition.

Re: [SOLVED] Updating systemd from 253 to 254 breaks gnome-shell restart

Oh wait, it turns out gnome-shell restart also segfaults on systemd 253: the only difference is that it doesn't segfault twice and GNOME doesn't show the crash page.

Here's the journal log for the 253 segfault (extensions are off): http://0x0.st/HL-Q.txt

Re: [SOLVED] Updating systemd from 253 to 254 breaks gnome-shell restart

Still no https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Core_d … _core_dump ?
Remove the static config (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and check

pacman -Qikk libX11 gnome-shell

as well as

type gnome-shell; ldd /usr/bin/gnome-shell

to make sure you're not loading some local library there.
Finally check https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/79300 - I really don't like that there's no coredump …

Maybe attach gdb to the gnbome-shell process from another VT, maybe that gets us a backtrace hmm
You'll have to

sudo sysctl kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=0

to attach gdb as unprivileged user (even to your own process)

Re: [SOLVED] Updating systemd from 253 to 254 breaks gnome-shell restart

Nope, no coredumps listed under coredumpctl.

By removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, do you mean renaming the file and rebooting?

Re: [SOLVED] Updating systemd from 253 to 254 breaks gnome-shell restart

do you mean renaming the file and rebooting?

Or delete it, but moving/renaming it will do.
I've limited hopes for this (server seems to close cleanly) but static server configs occlude problems, so maybe someting shows up in the xorg log w/o it.

The packages are ok and gnome-shell doesn't link anything weird either.

You probably want to test the behavior w/ a fresh user account to ensure it's not a local config/extension

Did you, btw?

Re: [SOLVED] Updating systemd from 253 to 254 breaks gnome-shell restart

Ah my bad it does appear to be a problem local to my user. I cannot replicate the behavior on the new user account.

Do you know which local config files I should be checking to figure out what's wrong? I did try turning off the gnome extensions via the extensions panel and rebooting, but that didn't seem to work.

Re: [SOLVED] Updating systemd from 253 to 254 breaks gnome-shell restart

I didn't inspect the logs carefully enough: https://0x0.st/HLXm.txt

Even on the fresh user account, there's a segfault.

Re: [SOLVED] Updating systemd from 253 to 254 breaks gnome-shell restart

Here are the logs after I moved my xorg.conf to xorg.conf.moved: https://0x0.st/HLXQ.txt

I am on systemd 253, and still no coredumps

The logout crash doesn't show up in https://0x0.st/HLXm.txt ?

Re: [SOLVED] Updating systemd from 253 to 254 breaks gnome-shell restart

That's because I ran both of these on systemd 253, and it seems that upgrading to systemd 254 was what led to two crashes occurring instead of one.

No, there's only

which doesn't look like the other crashes hmm

Did you see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/79300 ?
It's a long stretch, but loqs posted patched glibc packages there that stand a good chance to fix the issue, you could try those. With a  little luck we'll at least get a backtrace.

Updating to glibc 2.38-3 does not seem to fix the issue.

Re: [SOLVED] Updating systemd from 253 to 254 breaks gnome-shell restart

No backtrace either?
Attach gdb before you log out and hope for the best.

Did you mayhaps enable process lingering  (KillUserProcesses in /etc/systemd/logind.conf, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … _instances )?
