Gnome 43 crash with pano enabled and something related to libsoup3 symbols detected. Using libsoup2 and libsoup3 in the same process is not supported.

[truongan]

Describe the bug Have gnome 43 on archlinux with fcgur repository. The gnome shell sessions crash right after I install pano, logout then log back in. After the crash, Gnome will default back to all extension disabled. If I then enable all extension back on, the session will crash again.

To Reproduce

• GNOME Shell version: 3
• Distro: Archlinux
• Steps to reproduce, if applicable:

1. Install pano (unzip the file https://github.com/oae/gnome-shell-pano/archive/refs/tags/v10.zip into ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions)
2. Enabled pano
3. Gnome-shell sessions CRASHED. I got thrown back into gdm login screen, with all my extension disabled
4. Log back in from gdm screen
5. Re-enabled extension
6. Gnome-shell crash again, back to step 3.

I had the same problem. Did you install the libgda6 package? This solves the problem for me.

[truongan]

Wow, that was spot on. I used to have arch's community/libgda 5.2.10-3 installed, as per instruction. After I replaced it with fcgu/libgda6 pano seem to work now.

Perhaps some insight should be availabe on the READ.me, then we can close this issue.

[AdsonCicilioti]

Install an another lib version from an alternative repository not is a good solution for Arch users with Gnome 43. The Gnome 43 arrives today on Arch and i need unistall Pano extension to still use Gnome 43.

Awaiting an good solution from extension author.

[oae]

libgda5 and gnome 43 are in conflict and crash the gnome-shell. Arch Linux from the fcgu repo is not complete. You either install libgda6 (and remove libgda6) or wait for the official gnome packages to upgrade it.

[underdoeg]

As a quick fix: this PKGBUILD allowed me to install libgda6 in arch and use the extension again https://gist.github.com/underdoeg/db2b2e6d357e3cb7fdd94ae526fab6b9 I might submit an aur as well, if I get to it

[truongan]

I saw a new libgda6 package on Arch's official community repository today, still fresh: https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/libgda6/ Last Packager: Antonio Rojas Will try it out and report back

[AdsonCicilioti]

Thx @truongan ! I'll try it

[AdsonCicilioti]

The new libgda6 from community repo fix it!

[truongan]

I think that's settled it then. This issue is quite arch's specific and has been fully resolved.

[kfirufk]

same libsoup issue on gentoo, there is no libgda6 package. i'll try to see if i can get it installed manually and see if it solves it in this case as well.
