Around a week ago I started having a problem with one of my Manjaro laptops where the login screen became unusable. The central widget with the username doesn’t appear, no clicks seem to work, but the clock widget is working. I can SSH into the system.
I have a couple of laptops with the same Manjaro and Gnome config. Only the one with an Intel GPU is having this problem, two with Nvidia are fine.
I can’t pinpoint which upgrade broke it. I tried downgrading gdm, gnome-shell, and mkinitcpio (these were updated recently). It may actually be the dbus-daemon’s fault, but I didn’t downgrade that, since downgrading that may be too problematic.
Any suggestions as to what might be the cause and how to fix it?
On 6.6 kernel, the journal is spammed with these warning messages:
sty 25 21:11:24 lemur /usr/lib/gdm-wayland-session[5269]: dbus-daemon[5269]: [session uid=120 pid=5269] The maximum number of pending replies for ":1.3" (uid=120 pid=5282 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell") has been reached (max_replies_per_connection=50000)
On kernel 5.15 a different warning message is spammed:
sty 25 18:44:14 lemur gnome-shell[3460]: Attempting to call back into JSAPI during the sweeping phase of GC. This is most likely caused by not destroying a Clutter actor or Gtk+ widget with ::destroy signals connected, but can also be caused by using the destroy(), dispose(), or remove() vfuncs. Because it would crash the application, it has been blocked and the JS callback not invoked.
The offending signal was g-properties-changed on GDBusProxy 0x560ae4b481a0.
== Stack trace for context 0x560ae2bd50c0 ==
#0 560ae2c9c0b8 i resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/init.js:21 (3ed696c70ba0 @ 48)
On that kernel the gnome-shell is doing a coredump.
