I've noticed that /usr/bin/gjs-console has been recording a crash related to /usr/bin/gnome-characters. Easy to replicate just opening gnome-characters, but it occasionally happens at boot as well. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 812608 [details] coredumpctl debug backtrace
Created attachment 812611 [details] emerge --info
Could you try running it form the console or check journal for any output at the point it dies? It's probably an assert. (Also, is it built with USE=debug or something?)

It seems to run fine in the console, except it logs that core-dump. $ gnome-characters Gjs-Message: 18:11:36.301: JS LOG: Characters Application started Gjs-Message: 18:11:36.437: JS LOG: Characters Application activated Gjs-Message: 18:12:22.885: JS LOG: Characters Application exiting > (Also, is it built with USE=debug or something?) I don't think this ebuild doesn't have a USE=debug USE flag, but (as you know) I have the debug flags enabled for GCC, in general.
Thanks! No immediate ideas. I think report upstream? I see some examples of this same error at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=276470 and https://forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-stuck-on-dell-logo-after-update/118576?page=4: >May 16 22:51:53 jack-swift-x org.gnome.Characters[3794]: Bail out! Gsk:ERROR:../gtk/gsk/gskrenderer.c:144:gsk_renderer_dispose: assertion failed: (!priv->is_realized) From piecing it together from your coredumpctl output, it looks like the same assertion. You definitely don't have USE=debug on glib or something? (Having USE=debug on is bad as it leads to different codepaths being taken and either enabling assertions or making them fatal, even if harmless in normal operation).
> You definitely don't have USE=debug on glib or something? TBH I've never built any ebuilds with USE=debug at all, so...for sure, I don't have it enabled. Should I enable it on glib, and see if the errors changes at all? ...and yes, I can report to upstream.

Nah, you're good as-is -- keep it off, I just wanted to check. Thank you!
So should I be reporting this upstream? If so, is this the correct repo: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-characters?
Some people suggest the crash maybe be solved since gjs-43.1, could you try? Thanks
