+1 MacbookAir 6,2 Issue is present with all extensions disabled (minus user themes). In addition to the delay after login, there's this weird behaviour: after waking from sleep induced by closing the lid, the desktop shows for a while before going back to the greeter screen. Not sure if this is related (maybe others can corroborate?), but it's there more often than not.

Indeed, removing all extensions should be the first thing to check when dealing with gnome-shell bugs. But calling them extension crashes isn't quite right. Extensions can effectively modify the code of gnome-shell at runtime and then gnome- shell crashes. This is unfortunate for reliability, but is probably the reason why we can have so many extensions at all. So I don't imagine gnome-shell will ever have a more reliable way of dealing with buggy extensions aside from us reminding people to uninstall them when problems occur. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1736011 Title: CRITICAL: Unable to create a DBus proxy for GnomeScreensaver: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.ScreenSaver: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.ScreenSaver exited with status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1736011/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I too have the error displayed in the original bug. I intentionally waited a good few seconds before logging in to help with the log timestamps, my machine boots in ~3-5 seconds.

[Bug 1736011] Re: CRITICAL: Unable to create a DBus proxy for GnomeScreensaver: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.ScreenSaver: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Pr
I have the same error after a clean install (today) of 17.10 using nvidia 384.98 driver in an xorg gnome session. I presume the screensaver failure is responsible for a failure to switch users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1736011 Title: CRITICAL: Unable to create a DBus proxy for GnomeScreensaver: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.ScreenSaver: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.ScreenSaver exited with status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1736011/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I was getting this error on Ubuntu 17.10 on a Mac Pro 2,1 and was also having problems with soft lockups associated with errors saying "CPU#x was stuck for 22s" (where x was the CPU number). When I removed gnome- screensaver, both issues stopped. However, when I reinstalled gnome- screensaver, the bug here (CRITICAL: Unable to create a DBus proxy for GnomeScreensaver) started happening again but the CPU lockups did not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1736011 Title: CRITICAL: Unable to create a DBus proxy for GnomeScreensaver: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.ScreenSaver: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.ScreenSaver exited with status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1736011/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
