Xwayland crashes with wl_display@1: error 1: invalid arguments for [e-mail]_pool

[Saroumane]

System :
Ubuntu 21.10
Kernel 5.13.0-35
Session : Wayland

Each time I try to rip a CD with "abcde" gnome-shell crashes
What I understand from the logs :
Before the CD is ripped, abcde downloads a picture (from internet) as a cover of the CD.
When tracker-extract discovers this picture something bad happens.
Then gnome-shell crashes.
After the crash (and re-login into Ubuntu) I can resume the ripping process as the picture has been cached by abcde, and tracker-extract does not interact again with it.
Obviously the problem is back for each new CD.

The problem appeared quite recently, probably less than 1 month ago.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It sounds like some part of the system has crashed. To help us find the cause of the crash please follow these steps:

1. Look in /var/crash for crash files and if found run:
    ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash
Then tell us the ID of the newly-created bug.

2. If step 1 failed then look at https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/ID where ID is the content of file /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id on the machine. Do you find any links to recent problems on that page? If so then please send the links to us.

3. If step 2 also failed then apply the workaround from bug 994921, reboot, reproduce the crash, and retry step 1.

Please take care to avoid attaching .crash files to bugs as we are unable to process them as file attachments. It would also be a security risk for yourself.

It looks like we're probably looking for a crash from 'Xwayland'.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Tracking upstream in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1306 or probably more accurately: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1283

Sounds like the fix is in mutter 42.beta

I guess mutter side can be closed, since we've already beta in archive.
