Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
occured two days after installing Debian DVD-1. I did not try viewing the gnome-shell version beforehand, so I have no idea whether this has to do with my installation or not
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
"gnome-shell --replace" mostly works, but does not fix the bug and gives the following output: "Gjs-Message: JS LOG: Failed to launch ibus-daemon: Failed to execute child process "ibus-daemon" (No such file or directory)
Gjs-Message: JS WARNING: [/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/extension.js 9]: assignment to undeclared variable _activateOriginal
(gnome-shell:2157): Gjs-WARNING **: JS ERROR: Exception in callback for signal: startup-complete: Error: Requiring GSystem, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'GSystem' (any version) not found
