I’ve disabled all gnome extensions and narrowed it down to Dash-to-dock. Once I disable this one, gnome-logs is running without any issues when calling it from the application menu.

$ ~ gnome-extensions list --enabled
dash-to-dock@micxgx.gmail.com

I’ve documented the problem in the Announcement thread, but there isn’t a ton of feedback. It seems only one other user is affected. This makes me wonder if it’s an error on my end as not a lot of GNOME users seem to be affected.

Where would I have to report this issue any further? Is it for the GNOME folks in general, the Dash-to-dock extension or the gnome-logs app developers.

Can someone with GNOME 48.1 test out, if gnome-logs is running for them, when either called from the Dash-to-dock extension itself or the Application menu?

EDIT:
By the way, if I run gnome-logs from the GNOME terminal, it runs fine.

i can reproduce the error. i am using manjaro testing.
when i call gnome-logs from dash-to-dock the application crashes. when i call it from dash-to-panel or terminal it works.

mkb · 13 May 2025 16:42

What a relief! Thanks for confirming. That makes three confirmed cases now.

I’m still wondering why not more people seem to be affected. Is it that they’re not using GNOME in general or not checking their logs with gnome-logs?

Nevertheless I’m still wondering where to report the issue best. Is it a Dash-to-dock error and should it be reported as a Github issue over there?

altmuehlmani · 13 May 2025 17:56

i have to admit, i didn’t know anything about gnome-logs before, i only learnt something about it from your post here. i use journalctl
i also use dash-to-panel and not dash-to-dock. i was just trying to see if i could reproduce your error.
since the error only occurs in connection with dash-to-panel, i would place the error there. and yes, just create an issue in the github.

Zauberer-Merlin · 14 May 2025 08:13

just tested - it works on my system without any issues

testing branch, all up to date
Gnome (what else …)
Dash-to-dock as well as dash-to-panel and a lot of other extensions
Gnome logs now attached to the dock for testing purpose
Starting without any problems

mkb · 14 May 2025 15:13

Hmm, that’s strange. My first thought would have been that there’s some fix in Manjaro testing which hasn’t arrived in Stable but @altmuehlmani says he’s on testing too. So that’s probably not the explanation.

I have absolutely no idea why it’s working for you but not for folks like me. Nevertheless thanks for testing it out.

EDIT (20.05.2025):

gnome-logs crashed with Dash-to-dock since update to GNOME 48.1

I've recently updated my Manjaro 25.0.0 GNOME installation (stable) to GNOME 48.…1 and since then `gnome-logs` crashes (coredump) when called from the application menu or from dash-to-dock itself. I've narrowed it down to dash-to-dock because I disabled all other extensions. Running gnome-logs from a GNOME terminal works fine. Same when disabling dash-to-dock. ``` $ ~ gnome-extensions list --enabled dash-to-dock@micxgx.gmail.com ``` The journal says: <details><summary>journal.log - coredump gnome-logs</summary> ``` Mai 12 01:44:07 system12 gnome-character[3092]: JS LOG: Characters Application started Mai 12 01:44:07 system12 systemd[1488]: Started dbus-:1.2-org.gnome.NautilusPreviewer@2.service.

I have reported the issue over at the dash-to-dock github but unfortunately the project doesn’t seem to be very active. Haven’t heard anything back yet.
