 @mcnesium:matrix.org | I am on nixos-unstable with gnome. just did nh os boot to update first time since recent branch-off. after rebooting I log in my user with the gdm login screen, but instead of taking me to my gnome session, it keeps returning to the gdm login screen. what is going on? is this a known issue? how can I debug and fix it? | 13:47:28 |
| @mcnesium:matrix.org | in the journal it says

| winston | I've seen another signal 6/ABRT being reported on discourse before, but I haven't seen the session is already running message 🤔 | 14:47:23 |
| winston | could you share a coredump or full journal logs? | 14:47:45 |

 hexa | bobby285271 Jan Tojnar what's the state of the gnome team? | 21:00:21 |
| hexa | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/518768 removes two former members who haven't contributed for a long time | 21:00:38 |
| hexa | and the last gnome release felt a bit hectic | 21:00:49 |
| hexa | Redacted or Malformed Event | 21:00:55 |
| hexa | I think it would probably be time to onboard new people, too | 21:01:17 |
| winston | I'd love to join and help out 😄 | 21:13:32 |
| hexa | I guessed as much :p | 21:14:59 |
| winston | I gave GNOME with evolution-data-server-gtk4 a try, from what I can see Mail (Evolution)/Contacts/Calendar all work, with OAuth login (google) all work fine | 21:15:15 |
| winston | from what I can see GNOME OS has been using webkitgtk-6.0 for a while: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/-/blob/master/elements/core-deps/evolution-data-server.bst#L25 | 21:17:57 |

| hexa | uhhh, so I'm considering making pkexec opt-in during this release cycle … aka tomorrow, this week, next week … very soon | 20:27:35 |
| hexa | can someone find out what in gnome, if anything, requires pkexec? | 20:27:43 |
| hexa | like what does it use in its elevation prompts? | 20:28:19 |
 K900 | Uhhh polkit is already off by default no? | 20:33:21 |
| K900 | Well enabled with GNOME I think | 20:33:29 |
