Gnome 44 crashes with 'Connection to xwayland lost'

aprilgrimoire · 2024-03-06 20:48:59

After installing Arch Linux, I found the system sometimes behaves as if it rebooted. I inspected journal from last boot but found nothing special, and thought it was a hardware bug or kernel bug. After more careful inspection, I found its gnome-shell crashing, creating a reboot-like behavior. Here's the related logs:

What should I do? Thanks! Maybe I should switch to Xorg for now?

That's just a bunch of selected lines out of different journals, spanning the last 2½ weeks.
They indicate that xwayland was cut off a couple of times (likely a result of the crash) but neither the crash nor its possible causes show up.

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Core_d … _core_dump and post one complete system journal of one boot whehre gnome crashed on you.
For the current boot:

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

Sorry for the inconvenience. Here's the full log: http://0x0.st/H7I5.txt

So if there was an incident it would have been ~04:49 ?

There isn't much leading up to this

Tracker runs, you started some texteditor (the spellchecker stuff is uncritical), rtkit-daemon is b/c of pipewire and then gnome shuts down - it almost looks like "intentionally".
Does the particular journal actually cover a supposed crash?

Hi seth, that was intentional, switching from wayland gnome to xorg gnome.

I think the 2:xx one is a crash, but I'm not sure.

A bunch of clients crash when the session ends, but nothing suggests that the session itself terminated because of a crash in anything.
Please post a journal after the next time this happens so we know whether we're looking at a critical incident.

Any chance this happens because you've a logout shortcut and your cat stepped on the keyboard or stuff like that?
