This crashing been occurring for me too for several months. I don't know if it's helpful, but it the activities overview *was* working fine for a long time, but I could only guess when that was - perhaps 6-12 months ago?

It's been a while since I've experienced this issue, and I don't think I have the generation that was affected around anymore. If I remember, I think I may have worked around this by removing a package, although I'm not sure which.

Christopher, can you tell me how you found these error messages? I'm interested in troubleshooting to see if I'm having the same issue. All I can find is the following in /var/log/messages after I click "Activities", "Show Applications": Apr 24 13:56:34 localhost gnome-session-binary[857]: WARNING: Application 'org.gnome.Shell.desktop' killed by signal 6 Regards, Ben [-- Attachment #2: This is a digitally signed message part --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 833 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

I ran: $ find ~/.guix-profile/ -type d -wholename '*lib/gdk-pixbuf*' /home/ben/.guix-profile/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 /home/ben/.guix-profile/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0 /home/ben/.guix-profile/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders and then: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ben/.guix-profile/lib gnome-shell after which I could then select "Activities" and "Show Applications" without any problems. As you suggested was able to make the workaround persistent with: $ echo "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ben/.guix-profile/lib gnome-session" > ~/.xsession $ chmod a+x ~/.xsession Is there a way to fix this more permanently in Gnome?

Yes, I’ve fixed this on the staging branch for the gnome-shell package.
