gnome-shell 43 libsoup error

[xerxes2]

I just updated and got a bunch of new Gnome 43 stuff. So I thought I should reboot but now gnome-shell doesn't start because I get an error about using mixed symbols in libsoup.

Code: Select all

gnome-shell[1605]: libsoup2 symbols detected. Using libsoup2 and libsoup3 in the same process is not supported.

The error looks just like this: https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bug ... 68441.html

Can I fix it somehow?

Try to uninstall libsoup2.4_1-2.74.2-1.mga9 and/or lib64soup2.4_1-2.74.2-1.mga9
If this does not work, ask at dev mailing list or create a bug report.

That does not seem like a very good idea as tons of packages depend on libsoup2. I'm using Fluxbox now until it get fixed. If not more people are hit by this error it's something weird going on in my system.

No, remote-viewer is also affected.

Code: Select all

$ remote-viewer

(process:324050): libsoup-ERROR **: 15:10:10.248: libsoup3 symbols detected. Using libsoup2 and libsoup3 in the same process is not supported.
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

I am using KDE Plasma, which is working fine.

I filed a bug report about my remote-viewer issue
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30897

But I could not reproduce your gnome-shell issue. It may be fixed meanwhile.

Yeah, I updated today and it installed lib64soup-gir3.0 which seems to have fixed this error. Now gnome-shell spits out another error though. Seems to be related to a gsd-sharing error. Will see if I can fix it?

[xerxes2]

So now I got two errors I can find before gnome-shell gives up. First this one:

Code: Select all

dbus-daemon[1540]: [session uid=988 pid=1540] Activated service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1' failed: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1

And also this one:

Code: Select all

Failed to monitor ICC directory: Error creating directory /var/lib/gdm/.local/share/icc: Permission denied

I don't know if they're related though.

[xerxes2]

Success finally!!

First I removed /var/lib/gdm and reinstalled GDM but it didn't help. Did some digging and found out that /var/lib/gdm/.local/share was owned by root. So I just did a quick "chown -R gdm:gdm /var/lib/gdm" and it worked. Gnome 43 started just fine.
