[ Test case ] Install gsconnect extension in gnome-shell: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1319/gsconnect/ - Start Up system - first Notification from connected device - Hangs for about 20 sec + This should not happen [ Regression potential ] Persistent state is not kept, although the patch is living upstream for many cycles already, so it's pretty safe. ----- I have found an upstream bug with a patch, but it's probably not in the Ubuntu's package. I thought of creating an issue in case it is something not known. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/470 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome- shell/commit/86a00b6872375a266449beee1ea6d5e94f1ebbcb In my case it happens only with the notifications of gsconnect and maybe android studio. I have reproduced the problem in gsconnect in case it helps. https://github.com/andyholmes/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/issues/549 the error is: lug 27 19:55:56 ghv gnome-shell[4071]: Object Meta.Background (0x55ce6b4cf300), has been already deallocated - impossible to access it. This might be caused by the object having been destroyed from C code using something such as destroy(), dispose(), or remove() vfuncs Ubuntu 18.04 gnome-shell Version: 3.28.4-0ubuntu18.04.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1838152/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
