[SOLVED] gnome-session fails to start: "No GSettings schemas..."

Hi, since yesterday I am not able to start GNOME on my pc. Looking at the logs, I see that `gnome-session` is started but it gets core dumped immediately.
The last messages before the coredump:

ott 02 12:25:47 suzuka-00 gnome-session-binary[569]: GLib-GIO-ERROR: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system aborting...
ott 02 12:25:47 suzuka-00 audit[569]: ANOM_ABEND auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=100 ses=1 pid=569 comm="gnome-session-b" exe="/usr/lib/gnome-session-binary" sig=5 res=1

The full output of journalctl -b is available here: https://pastebin.com/LV1YHnNm

Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
Thanks!

EDIT: I managed to start XFCE instead of GNOME. Looking at the logs, I see that a few processes get core dumped (e.g., notify-osd, tilix) and the "GSettings schemas..." error message is shown again. Other apps run without issues (e.g. Firefox).

Eventually solved by simply reinstalling 'gsettings-desktop-schemas':

sudo pacman -S gsettings-desktop-schemas

Hope the thread can still be useful for someone encountering the same issue.
