Crash of applications shortly after login

[Nachlese]

No further ideas.
Especially when a new user account has the same issues.

The system logs and ~/.xsession-errors might also hold clues.

when I do:

ls -al /usr/lib/libgtk-3.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      13 Oct 12 18:51 /usr/lib/libgtk-3.so -> libgtk-3.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      21 Oct 12 18:51 /usr/lib/libgtk-3.so.0 -> libgtk-3.so.0.2411.32
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8070456 Oct 12 18:51 /usr/lib/libgtk-3.so.0.2411.32

and compare,
I have a different version of this library.

You have libgtk-3.so.0.2416.32
I have libgtk-3.so.0.2411.32

I do not know the significance of this - but this is where the coredump starts.

I have a different version of this library.

You have libgtk-3.so.0.2416.32
I have libgtk-3.so.0.2411.32

I do not know the significance of this - but this is where the coredump starts.

I’m on Testing branch, and can confirm that I also have libgtk-3.so.0.2411.32 on my up-to-date system. There was a recent downgrade of gtk pushed through on the Testing repos:

[2025-01-30T08:16:08+1100] [ALPM] downgraded gtk3 (1:3.24.48-1 -> 1:3.24.43-4)

The OP might want to see if downgrading to the version of gtk3 (and some other packages that were also downgraded such as fakeroot) in the repos fixes the issue:

sudo pacman -Syyuu

Hi scotty65,

downgrading gtk3 to version 3.24.43-4 did the trick - many thanks!

inxi -Farz

note the r, returns repos.
And thats what I usually ask for.
The other common one that is slightly more comprehensive is inxi -zv8.
It may be worth noting the differences between Farz and zv8 are mostly negligible differences in reporting extra memory info, processor flags, chroma color info, USB and volume information (including UUIDs), and top running processes (top 5 of each cpu and ram).

inxi -Fz was a user invention for whatever reason.

There should have also been no reason to use -Syyuu which would unnecessarily force resync and hammer the server. -Syuu should have sufficed to allow downgrades.

Also the ‘problem with xfce apps and packages rolled back’ is detailed in some other thread(s) that I dont care to go looking for just now.

These float to top;

Bug? "Segmentation fault" and core dumps for multiple applications

There was similar issues reported on testing branch. After we downgraded the packages to 26th of January it was fine again. Most likely the gtk3 update in unstable branch might be the reason.

Hi, after this update I started seeing segfaults crashing xfce4-terminal and whisker menu: kernel: xfce4-terminal[1930]: segfault at 40 ip 0000760260dbe02b sp 00007ffded96ec00 error 4 in libgtk-3.so.0.2416.32[1be02b,760260c70000+3b5000] likely on CPU 9 (core 1, socket 0) kernel: wrapper-2.0[1648]: segfault at 40 ip 000078127fbbe02b sp 00007ffef2a9a440 error 4 in libgtk-3.so.0.2416.32[1be02b,78127fa70000+3b5000] likely on CPU 13 (core 5, socket 0) Tried reinstalling gtk3 but segfaults kept reoc…

[Testing Update] 2025-01-27 - Last Update of the year - libpamac, pamac-cli, libnfs

I have reset the Arch sync packages to the Archive snapshot of 26th of January. This will downgrade the following packages from core and in extra/multilib. Those who are affected should do a sudo pacman -Syyuu and report back if that fixes things.
