frequently crashes shell (3.26.2) on changing activity

[jmberg]

This happens very frequently for me (every few changes of activity), but I have no idea how to debug.

I'm running the latest afaict (commit 0d815b2) and can easily upgrade/debug/etc. if you tell me how - I'm proficient in C and debugging in general, but know next to nothing about shell extensions.

Same here. I run fedora 28 with gnome-shell 3.28.2, hamster-shell-extension crashes gnome-shell on every other change of activity or so.

same here, fedora 28

as well as openSUSE Leap 15.1

Please test with gnome-shell-3.28 or one of the later code bases matching your GNOME version (see https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster-shell-extension/tags).

@jmberg, @chama-chomo, are you still on fedora28? Solutions are reported to work on fedora30 and fedora31. So we would like to close this within two weeks, unless needed otherwise.

Are two weeks for feedback also OK for you, @mgoppold?
Anyway, issues can be re-opened.

[jmberg]

I'm on 31 now. I was on 29 far too long/late due to some work packages, but never much on 28, IIRC. Certainly not now.

Actually, it doesn't crash for me these days. I vaguely remember something in this area but I'd have to dig. Right now I'm on gnome 3.34.4 and hamster-extension 3c320e9.

[jmberg]

I have a vague feeling it might somehow have been related to " factsBox: use GObject.registerClass()" or such, but TBH I really don't know right now. I'll try to dig out more later, if I can.

Hi, I'm not with Fedora and even Hamster anymore. Good to hear you were able to fix it, though.

Thank you very much for your quick feedback, @jmberg, @chama-chomo!
I just noticed I forgot to "ring" @wolffi (same request for feedback, please).
