GNOME shell freezes up
Last modified: 2021-07-05 14:37:34 UTC
While chatting in order to try and reproduce bug #711694, GNOME Shell just froze up entirely Output: Nov 14 16:36:16 jocelyn.local dbus[806]: [system] Activation via systemd failed for unit 'dbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.service': Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

Video (slightly shaky) of the whole process: https://cloud.gnome.org/public.php?service=files&t=fa24d263feb17c2858d69f3bf6a311e1
This looks like: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1069299 And I also suffer this a lot on Gentoo: gnome-shell freezes while I see lots of messages like the following in logs: abr 19 18:56:16 belkin5 gnome-session[287]: Advertencia del gestor de ventanas: Log level 8: g_object_set: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed abr 19 18:56:16 belkin5 gnome-session[287]: Advertencia del gestor de ventanas: Log level 8: g_object_set: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed abr 19 18:56:16 belkin5 gnome-session[287]: (gnome-shell:404): Clutter-CRITICAL **: clutter_layout_manager_get_child_meta: assertion 'CLUTTER_IS_LAYOU abr 19 18:56:16 belkin5 gnome-session[287]: Advertencia del gestor de ventanas: Log level 8: g_object_set: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed abr 19 18:56:16 belkin5 gnome-session[287]: Advertencia del gestor de ventanas: Log level 8: g_object_set: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed abr 19 18:56:16 belkin5 gnome-session[287]: (gnome-shell:404): Clutter-CRITICAL **: clutter_layout_manager_get_child_meta: assertion 'CLUTTER_IS_LAYOU abr 19 18:56:16 belkin5 gnome-session[287]: Advertencia del gestor de ventanas: Log level 8: g_object_set: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed abr 19 18:56:16 belkin5 gnome-session[287]: Advertencia del gestor de ventanas: Log level 8: g_object_set: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
I still get this random freezes from time to time with 3.12 and, as explained in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1069299 the situation gets improved a lot if adding "fs.inotify.max_user_watches=100000" into /etc/sysctl.conf (not sure if this could have any other side effects :/)
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
