I’m on Arch and just updated the system today. I was using Transmission via flatpak (latest version) but this happens with every other flatpak that opens the older file/directory picker instead of Nautilus, so I’m assuming that this has something to do with the Gtk desktop portal.
I was in the process of asking Transmission to move the contents of a torrent to another download directory. After it opened the directory picker, I clicked on the sidebar to select the directory I wanted (that was listed in the recents list) and my entire session crashed.
Looking through the system logs, I could see that nouveau
crashed, which caused gnome-shell
to crash. The relevant logs are here.
As I can’t actually tell if this is a nouveau
or a gnome-shell
bug, I’m posting this to ask you for guidance in order to better diagnose this situation.
Thank you for your attention.
