I mainly use GNOME files using the keyboard shortcuts.
Since about 4 months ago GNOME files randomly crushes.
This happens when changing the tab (using Alt + 0~8) or going one directory up (Alt + up arrow).
The issue happens even more frequently when I try to copy files between tabs,
and it usually crashes when pasting the files (Ctrl + V).
I have tried KDE-Dolphin and the issue is not present.
It would be great if somebody could help, I love the minimalist interface of GNOME files and would love to keep using it.
Here are some information on the system I got using inxi
Hello @Emqu and thank you for your suggestion.
Following is the output from the debugging depending on what caused it.
Also notice that I am using fish shell rather then Bash, although fish is running on top of BASH.

Not sure, but probably again copy and paste operations

I am not sure what these errors might be caused from:
Additionally in one case there was also a warning: Warning: 'sandbox' is not in the list of known options, but still passed to Electron/Chromium.
I really hope somebody could help.
Will also check if I can find something in the GNOME files repository.
I tried removing GSConnect but Nautilus was always detecting the extension.
I have deactivated it and still not fixed.
Is open-tilix.py installed by tilix?
Will try to remove that one and try again.
Otherwise will have to switch to Nemo from Linux Mint
Got something different but still related to GLib:
I am wondering if this could be related to NVIDIA drivers…
Just saying that as this issue is not happening on the other two machines I use (one with Intel integrated graphics, and one with AMD).
After more extensive tests I sadly confirm that the problem seems related to the GNOME Files application.
I tried removing all extensions, and deactivated all GNOME shell extensions, as the debug lines gave some warnings related to GSConnect.
The issue appears on 3 systems with different hardware (one with NVIDIA, one with AMD graphic card, one with integrated Intel graphics)
I performed a clean install of Manjaro GNOME (Ornara 21.0.7) and the issue is present also after a fresh install with no extra extensions.
Until it does not get fixed I will be using Nemo from Linux Mint.
