Bug Description
gnome-shell crashes instead of displaying a login screen:
gnome-shell[1954]: Running GNOME Shell (using mutter 45.3) as a Wayland display server
gnome-shell[1954]: Settings schema 'org.gnome.
It seems the cause is a package version mismatch in mutter-common:
ii gir1.2-
ii libmutter-
ii libmutter-
ii libmutter-test-13 45.3-1ubuntu1 amd64 Test helper library for GNOME's window manager library
ii mutter 45.3-1ubuntu1 amd64 Example window manager using GNOME's window manager library
ii mutter-13-tests 45.3-1ubuntu1 amd64 Tests for GNOME's window manager library
ii mutter-common 46.0-1ubuntu6 all shared files for the Mutter window manager
ii mutter-common-bin 45.3-1ubuntu1 amd64 shared programs for the Mutter window manager
Downgrading mutter-common to https:/
Changed in mutter (Ubuntu): | |
status: | Triaged → In Progress |
milestone: | none → ubuntu-24.04 |
Rather than treating this as a temporary issue I think we should fix the dependencies that led to it.
