Gnome Shell crash after installing extension manually and from repository in same time
Last modified: 2012-09-09 14:34:19 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1) Using Advanced Settings manually install extension from http://vhumpa.fedorapeople.org/remove-accessibility-icon@martin-weusten.de.zip 2) restart gnome-shell (using ALT+F2 and typing r) 3) Install extension from repository: "yum install gnome-shell-extension-remove-accessibility-icon" 4) restart gnome-shell (using ALT+F2 and typing r) Actual results: After second gnome-shell restart doesn't start at all. Need to kill session using ctrl+alt+backspace After login gnome-shell starts with "Oh No! Something has gone wrong" dialog and remove-accessibility-icon option in list. Enabling or disabling remove-accessibility-icon doesn't make gnome-shell start to full desktop environment. Expected Results: gnome-shell should not crash when extension is installed manually and from repository in same time and extension is disabled gnome-shell should load extension from ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ at first and don't care about same extension in /usr when extension is enabled Version: Name : gnome-shell Arch : x86_64 Version : 3.3.90 Release : 2.fc17
The expected results reflect what the code is programmed to do (if the extension is already loaded, it will be ignored during directory scan). Do you have a copy of ~/.xsession-errors showing any JS exception? Can you reproduce it under gdb and provide us stack traces for the crash during installation? (you need to so from a different virtual terminal). And finally, are you sure this is not due to an incompatibility or bug in the extension you're installing? You cannot disable system-wide extension using the fail whale, so that would explain the inability to recover.
Martin, can you please provide requested information as per comment#1 ?
