Gnome Shell crashes after using Screenshot Tool

[Meteormesh]

I am on a fresh Fedora installation with Gnome 40. Doesn't matter which function I use, it always crashes.

[OttoAllmendinger]

1. Can you describe the crash in more detail?
2. please provide the output of these commands

   
   journalctl --user /usr/bin/gjs --boot

journalctl --user /usr/bin/gnome-shell --boot

[Meteormesh]

1. I just select the tool, then I get logged out and after that I log back in and often all my extensions get disabled.

[OttoAllmendinger]

thank you

can you please try this command (careful, it might trigger the bug and crash gnome-shell)

gjs ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/gnome-shell-screenshot@ttll.de/auxhelper.js --filename /tmp/test.png --window

[Meteormesh]

That command worked and didn't trigger the bug.

[raffaem]

I also experienced a crash of the shell, but uninstalling and reinstalling the extension fixed it.

journalctl --user /usr/bin/gjs --boot

has no entries.

With:

journalctl --user /usr/bin/gnome-shell --boot

I have some failed assertions:

[andreluisos]

Same issue here.

[Noremacam]

I can also reproduce this gnome shell crash with Fedora 34. It only crashes if I am in Wayland. On Xorg, taking a screenshot does not cause a crash.

Fedora auto-generated this report for this issue: https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/186289/

[taleroangel]

Same happened to me : Fedora 34 with Gnome 40 in Wayland

[statquant]

Same happened to me too, fedora 34 (default everything), gnome 40
