[Solved] gnome-shell segfaults on login
Ever since Arch updated to GNOME 47, I have been unable to use my desktop. When I log in, even with all extensions disabled, I only get the fail whale screen, with the following backtrace in my systemd journal:
systemd-coredump[25327]: Process 24648 (gnome-shell) of user 1000 dumped core.

ELF object binary architecture: AMD x86-64I tried the fix in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=299526 but it didn't help (and also my backtrace is different, so it's probably not the same issue).
Does anyone know what I could do to get my desktop back? Downgrading both gnome-shell and mutter to <47.0 works, but it creates issues with window tracking in my (old and obsolete) dock manager, and I'd rather just fix my system and be able to use the current version anyway. I note that I get into problems like this every time a major GNOME version releases, so there must be something on my end (that is apparently local to me, since I couldn't find any bug reports with my exact backtrace) that makes GNOME break itself every single time. Any help would be appreciated!

"struts" specify the area the WM shall keep windows away from because they're occupied by, typically… docks.
Can you log in as a different user?

Re: [Solved] gnome-shell segfaults on login
Well I'll be... renamed /usr/bin/avant-window-navigator to something else to prevent it from being started and now, here I am, logged in and well! Thanks for that amazing insight.
What's my next step? Should I file a bug report about this?

Re: [Solved] gnome-shell segfaults on login
Yes, though AWN hasn't seen action for 7 years, it seems.
But the bug is in mutter, => https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/
There's a decent chance this wa covered by https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/- … 8ca744af46 though.

Re: [Solved] gnome-shell segfaults on login
You're right! I applied that patch locally and I now have a working system again. (Well, window tracking on AWN is still broken, but that just means it's time for me to finally bite the bullet and go search for a modern replacement.) Thanks for your help!

\o/
Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
