Do you have evidence of this crash? The Journal messages you quoted are about xdg-desktop-portal, and they indicate that xdg-desktop-portal-gtk (not xdg-desktop-portal-gnome) took too long to start up (which is bad, but is not a crash). Please look at the systemd Journal with journalctl, preferably as a privileged user (root or a member of the adm group), to get an overview of what is happening at the time. Actually I found no evidence of a crash as either xdg-desktop-portal-gtk or xdg-desktop-portal-gnome exited with an error code. I read the logs founding no apparent clue. I somehow solved the issue removing ~/.config/dconf/user; I dumped its keys but again I couldn't find any potential issue. Thank you everyone for your time and attention but my issue does not deserve to waste your time anymore, so I'm posting this to [email protected], signaling that it shall be closed.

I don't know so here are a few other ideas: Do you have any files in ~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal/ ? Compare the output of env between the working and non-working users. You could back up your config files, then remove files to bisect to try to figure out what isn't working. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha

Please create a new user and log in as that user. If the bug doesn't show there, then there is a problem with your user's config. First of all, thank you very much for you prompt answer! In a freshly created user the problem does not show so it is in my config. I lauched "find ~ -iname "*xdg*"|less" and searched in dconf but I couldn't find anything relevant. Where should I look? I'm a "lifelong" Linux user but this bug looks a little puzzling, otherwise I woulnd't have reported a bug ... Thank you in advance for your attention... Kind regards, Paolo

Bug#1108442: xdg-desktop-portal-gnome: Crashes in a wayland session
Package: xdg-desktop-portal-gnome Version: 48.0-2 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Dear Maintainer, xdg-desktop-portal-gnome crashes a Gnome session at login when selecting a wayland session while it runs fine in an Xorg session. Other wayland desktops such as enlightenment and wayfire run fine but Gtk applications starts with a lag of dozens of seconds, showing in logs a similar error. As far as I can say it is this, but I wasn't able to find more details.
