Might want to compare to #29959 and paper's branch ;)

[Gottox]

duplicate of #29959.

[oreo639]

I haven't tested this, but, assuming this works I have no issues with this superseding my pr. (less work for me, and my pr was simply meant to be just enough to be functional)

However I still have a few comments/questions:
You probably want to double check the mutter commit(s) as it seems a little messed up. (also double check the changes in the second mutter commit)

Doesn't gnome-shell still depend on gtk+3 as well?

@oreo639 I'll rebase on you're PR once I've got the initial webkit2gtk update done.

[Gottox]

@q66 waiting till you update webkitgtk and patches.

[ericonr]

Have you tried on real hardware? I can give it a test drive.

[ericonr]

Btw, please include https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/2010 as a backport.

And I would bump common/shlibs for all the GNOME packages as well (there's a high chance they will be using newly available functions from other GNOME pieces).

Not yet. I at least want to have some stability on qemu. Atm it's pretty much unusable on it.

Good idea

The glib fix has no effect on the stability issues in qemu.

But I see a second issue in dmesg:

[  128.022735] gsd-usb-protect[1585]: segfault at 8 ip 000055b7a42fd118 sp 00007fffa0c72190 error 4 in gsd-usb-protection[55b7a42fb000+3000]

[Gottox]

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/-/issues/585

That looks like my exact issue.

The issue is tracked for fedora here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1937073

[Gottox]

Okay, what I found out so far:

• this issue seems to happen only on VMs so far (at least the issues mention that)
• there's a relation between the session crash and the crash of the gsd service.

The actual session log looks like this:

Wait, gnome 40 is not different package ? i thought it is different in windows 8 and windows 10 kind of way

[oreo639]

Void Linux is a rolling release distro meaning that there is only one version of Void Linux and that is constantly being updated with the latest versions of packages (with patches and bugfixes if necessary).

Gnome 40 is a new version of the GNOME desktop environment but isn't a separate DE. (it is meant to replace Gnome 3.38) The packaging in Void will reflect that.

There is a versioning scheme that exists with other "stable" distros (which just means that the packages stay the same for that release of the distro and only get patched with bugfixes and security fixes).

[Gottox]

There are several changes in the frontend, but from a packaging perspective it's very much like a Gnome 3.40.

[thegarlynch]

Holyshit, it's great. Did they improved the performance or something ? it runs smoother compared to previous version of gnome i've run
