Pop Shell breaks Activities on Pop!_OS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS #1072

Not sure if this is helpful, but anyways: I've experienced the same issue on a XPS 9560 and a VM (both running Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS). Made sure to remove all other gnome extensions which didn't make any difference. |
|
I'm also on the latest commit and now running Ubuntu 21.04 instead of LTS. It keeps happening periodically and the only fix I've found is to use X11 instead of Wayland, so I can make a quick restart. |

Here are the logs of the issue: |

I'm having the same issues, but my logs seem to be showing something different that what @jixbo has. For completeness I'm running this on |

I am seeing this on Pop!_OS and Ubuntu 20.04. I believe the relevant portion of the logs is the section that appears at the time Activities is opened:

@jixbo The issue you're experiencing seems like a different problem since you're on 21.04 and Wayland, although your "full log file" is only a snippet, and I don't have enough information to recreate it. I'm not seeing the issue on Ubuntu 21.04 with Wayland after installing VLC (which you mentioned) and Sleek, which is a "skip taskbar window." Can you confirm if this branch stops the issue on your machine? Any information about other applications and shell extensions you have running might also be helpful. |

@jacobgkau thanks for the fast response. Here you can find the full gnome-shell logs of today. The issue happened a few times, last one at 21.50, just after the laptop came back from suspension. I'm getting this issue with "Activities" with no special application, after using the computer for a long time. It does not happen the first few times "Activities" gets triggered. It can happen triggering activities either with the mouse gesture on the corner, or the meta key. Today I was using telegram, google-chrome, visual studio and spotify. I'll test the latest fix and report back, thank you. |

Stumbled upon this issue when I encountered this problem. For anyone else, I've found that simply restarting gnome via That said, I'm now watching this thread to see how the problem is ultimately resolved. |

@jtmackoy That's my solution too. Unfortunately you can't restart shell with |

Yes, that commit is before dc0e306, which is the one that added the problematic function call. |
|
Apologies @jacobgkau - missed that detail in your earlier comment. |
|
After the whole day using the latest fix from #1080 (latest version on master branch) , the problem didn't reoccur. Thanks everyone, specially @jacobgkau for the quick support. |

@jixbo Glad to hear the 21.04 is fixed after that PR. Thank you for confirming. This issue remains open for the 20.04 issue, which is separate. |
It seems in 3.38, the argument to this function was changed from the `MetaWindowActor` to the `MetaWindow`. This adds a test to correctly get the `MetaWindow` on both 3.36 and 3.38. This should fix #1072.

Just ran into this issue also - Darter Pro 6 pop-shell: Getting the same log error as mentioned by @jacobgkau |

Encountering the same exact problem as explained by @d0tsaint at the beginning. Hope it gets resolved soon... |
|
Encountered this issue right after a system update... |
|
For the record, this workaround for 20.04 seems to be working: |

A fix for this (#1085) has been merged. It will take some time to build and get released from proposed, but it should be available within a few hours. |
|
The fix is now published, 20.04 users can apply all updates and then restart GNOME Shell or reboot to get the fix. (To install updates without the Activities menu, use the Pop Shell launcher with |
I've just done it and fixed the problem!! Thanks! |
|
@jacobgkau it seems there might be some minor issue pending, even after the updated package: https://chat.pop-os.org/pop-os/pl/poxuysakzjr5be5ypmsk4xtx5y |
Finally! Just installed the latest Pop Shell update, works flawlessly now! |
|
good job |
|
Unfortunately this is not 100% resolved for me. I'm still seeing instances where the Activities menu is unresponsive during/after opening Battle.net client in Wine via Lutris. Disabling the "Show Minimize to Tray Windows" setting seems to be a usable workaround for now. Fully up-to-date 20.04, single 1080P monitor in landscape, no additional extensions or changed settings from stock. |

This is still happening on my system after I start and login to steam (popos 20.04, all updates installed). Doing the |
It stills happens here too... |
|
FWIW, in the past few days, this hasn't been happening that often anymore. Seems to be more random now. |
