What Happened?

Pantheon greeter crashes with Mutter 45.2; extended logging a bit (printing the command that exited) revealed that it is the compositor process that exits with code 1.

Originally reported as https://github.com/pimvullers/elementary/issues/247

(io.elementary.greeter:12797): CRITICAL : 20:30:43.852: SubprocessSupervisor.vala:49: Child process exited with code 1`

Steps to Reproduce

Experienced on Gentoo Linux with Pantheon Overlay (https://github.com/pimvullers/elementary):

  1. Build greeter against Mutter 45.2
  2. Start greeter
  3. Wingpanel becomes visible, but nothing else
  4. After some time everything goes black

Expected Behavior

Greeter showing the login screen (same as with lower mutter version).

OS Version

Other Linux

Software Version

Compiled from git

I wonder if you are also running into #682 (which is caused by regression in mutter) 🙃

pimvullers commented 4 months ago

Adding https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3329 as patch to the mutter package in Gentoo Linux indeed solves the problem. (this is the second fix @bobby285271 mentioned).

Closing as not a greeter issue, but upstream problem, and existing issue present.
