The crash turns out to be due to a combination of several things: * the authd patches were disabled in latest src:gnome-shell, including the definition of the missing key (presumably to make migration easier) * the binary gnome-shell package could not upgrade through simple `apt upgrade` due to some transition * the interdependency between gnome-shell (which has the crashing code) and gnome-shell-common (which holds the gsettings definitions) isn't using (= ${binary:Version}) but rather a manually defined boundary (>= 47~rc).
So I ended up with a partially upgraded system. IMHO, not having a strict equality bound on this kind of relationship is a straight bug. ** Also affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** No longer affects: gcr (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - /usr/libexec/gcr-prompter:11:gtk_im_multicontext_set_slave:im_module_setting_changed:g_closure_invoke:signal_emit_unlocked_R:signal_emit_valist_unlocked + gnome-shell breaks on partial upgrades ** Summary changed: - gnome-shell breaks on partial upgrades + gnome-shell 48 breaks on partial upgrades -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2098654 Title: gnome-shell 48 breaks on partial upgrades To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/2098654/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
