With linux512-headers package i got this error:

errore: impossibile eseguire l’operazione richiesta (file in conflitto)

Will GNOME 40 appear in unstable branch tomorrow or will you wait until most important extensions can work with it?

This is unstable branch - there is/should be no holding back packages.
How else should anyone determine proper working?

No. Arch Staging > Arch Stable > Manjaro Unstable takes a couple of weeks usually.

You don’t want it believe me. Even in Fedora a vanilla Gnome without extensions at all is prone to crashing with a message like “sorry something went wrong” on a white screen of death still without obvious means of restarting it.
I’d rather wait for a stable release.

You are right, I don’t want GNOME without extensions. :slightly_smiling_face: And I’m glad to hear, that it won’t appear in Manjaro Unstable right in the release day.

@openminded
Yes, have seen that on a recent Fedora installation.

what is status of the mesa 21 ?

Anyone else experiencing random Gnome shell restarts after the latest update from yesterday?

Mar 23 07:34:22 manjaro systemd-coredump[427085]: Process 397030 (gnome-shell) of user 1000 
dumped core.

Linux manjaro 5.12.0-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Mar 21 22:24:02 UTC 2021 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am. My extensions were automatically disabled, but the system has stabilized and I’m able to browse, open apps and do some work.

I tried with 5.12 and 5.11 but the issue stills happens opening some app from shell.

I’m on 5.11. It could have something to do with which extensions you’re using. I guess this is the beginning of the expected chaos as Gnome 40 components are slowly introduced…

Manually installed:

  1. Flipper Move Clock
  2. Hide Top Bar
  3. User Themes

I have User Themes and go with the stock Manjaro dark theming, which doesn’t seem to have been effected at this point. I’m relatively new to Gnome (it took a while for me to realize it’s my favorite, after 20 years of XFCE, KDE and all the others), but I’ve heard that even if a particular extension is not enabled, having it installed can cause problems when Gnome moves from one version to another. I imagine it could also have something to do with graphics hardware, etc.

Already disabled all extensions, changed to 5.11 (At this point I can discard a kernel issue), so far no more crashes.

Yes, on two systems. It appears the gjs 2:1.68.0-2 update affected more than one extension. Downgrading to 2:1.66.2-1 solved the issue.

EDIT: FS#70117 - [gjs] 2:1.68.0-1 causes GNOME session to crash when Element and gajim are started together
