[SOLVED] Gnome-shell 45 crashes when unlocking

hilom · 2023-10-16 07:01:22

Since updating to Gnome-shell 45 i have started experiencing frequent crashes whenever the screensaver has been active and i unlock. from jounralctl i can see i get this every time:

okt 16 08:25:28 archlinux gnome-shell[1437]: Can't update stage views actor <unnamed>[<ClutterActor>:0x563e4af82290] is on because it needs an allocation.

unfortunately i cant find out that much more from just the logs than this , all the applications open crashes when this happens. I wanted to check if anyone knows where to start looking? how do i debug this ?

From the symptoms, most likely RT KMS thread:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=289451
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 8#p2125738

In general, gnome 45 breaks (all) extensions:

Thank you, i will start with reinstalling all my extensions to see if that helps!

I'd "export MUTTER_DEBUG_KMS_THREAD_TYPE=user" first.
Edit: resp. iCar had to disable experimental features, but the upstream bug also mentions that they had not been enabled at all tbw.

Thanks, will do! i also did the " dconf reset /org/gnome/mutter/experimental-features " in addition to the export. i may have to enable some of it again since i use fractional scaling.

My name is actually Ícar (catalan variation from Icarus.)
Yes, I hate Apple.

"export MUTTER_DEBUG_KMS_THREAD_TYPE=user" actually seem to fix the problem, i have not had any more crashes since exporting it.
I will test some more and report back but it seems to work so far.

Not sure what to do to get more info about the problem or where to start looking. I've already tried reinstalling all of my extensions to no avail it seems.

Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Have a look at: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-sh … ssues/7102 and try https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/- … te_1850361

For me it works as a workaround. I asked if a script could solve it for now

seth · 2023-10-16 14:37:31

That would have been #7, but apparently that's not the only issue for the OP.

hilom · 2023-10-17 13:55:49

Not sure if the changes i made yesterday actually required a reboot, today i have not had any crashes at all. I only ran the command yesterday and added it to /etc/environment so maybe the reboot solved the problem.
I'll wait a few days and then i'll go ahead and mark this as solved.
