Kills GNOME Shell 44 when starting Ardour 7 with splash screen enabled #20

Closed nphilipp closed 1 year ago

nphilipp commented 1 year ago

SSIA, if the extension is enabled, when Ardour 7.2/7.3 would show its splash screen, GNOME Shell would crash. In the case of X11, the desktop session would restart with shell extensions disabled and a subsequent attempt would work. In the case of Wayland, you simply get logged out hard.

This happens with both Ardour 7 installed as an RPM package on Fedora 38, or the flatpak from flathub. A workaround is to start Ardour with the -n command line switch which suppresses the splash screen.

Sorry I have no idea about this and I don't use Ardour.

The splash screen of Skype for Linux set up to autostart triggers the crash as well.

Are there some errors in logs?

liskin commented 1 year ago

Don't remember seeing anything meaningful in there. ☹️ (It's my in-laws' computer, not a gnome user myself.)

Ok I close this, I cannot do anything here. Seems to be a conflict between splash screen and the lack of overview at start-up. My guess is that the overview comes with some init code that is triggered, after start-up if the ext is installed but needed for the splash screens.
