I'm on guix system with Gnome and Wayland. After a guix pull, then guix package -u then guix system reconfigure, I went from gnome 44 to gnome 46 and from linux 6.12 to linux 6.13.After rebooting and connecting to my session, the following message appears after about one minutes: "oh no something has gone wrong a problem has occurred and the system can't recover please log out and try again"
This has happened to me before, and it usually goes away by rebooting once again (restarting GNOME session is not enough).
I think removing dconf configuration would erase your whole personal desktop preferences (including preferences of some applications). I'd avoid doing that.I have no extension to gnome-shell I also did: rm -r ~/.config/dconf rm -r ~/.local/share/gnome-shell the problem remains the same
I'm on Wayland, and I've tried to connect with xorg, but the problem persists. Strangely enough, I can still use my session if I leave the error message on one workspace and I work on another workspace. If I want to close the error message, it closes my session. Does anyone have any idea what to do?
Besides what I mentioned above, I also experience problems similar to the ones mentioned in issue #36924.¹ They occur from time to time after having reconfigured the system. If rebooting again doesn't solve your problem, maybe take a look at that issue for other workarounds.
Right now for example, I can't start a GNOME session using the latest generation of my system (guix f1810c8). When I log in, all I see is a black screen. I assume it is one of those state-related issues because if I create a new user I can log in normally with that user only.
Anyways, good luck,1. https://issues.guix.gnu.org/36924 · GDM, GNOME Shell, etc. break when there are stale caches
