On one system running GuixSD, Gnome Shell crashes when opening the
activities overview (super key, or clicking on the activities button in
the top left).

(.gnome-shell-real:2471): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:36:30.639: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.

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?

Ben

Could you try to see if setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment where
GNOME Shell is launched to the lib directory of the “gdk-pixbuf+svg” (or
“gdk-pixbuf”) package makes any difference?
You may need to do this in ~/.xsession and launch the gnome-session
manually.

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

I think I ran `gnome-shell --replace` from a terminal, and watched the
output. You might also have some success writing to a log file,
e.g. `gnome-shell --replace 1>&2 | tee gnome-shell.log`.

Great, thanks Christopher. Wow, nice going Ricardo, that fixes the
issue!
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?
Regards,
Ben

Yes, I’ve fixed this on the staging branch for the gnome-shell package.
This also fixes another crash we saw when displaying notifications.
