I can confirm this patch solved my issues also. I have some other issue that ends up in a mutter restart on suspend resume and this bug made supending compleatly unusable since I lost the desktop.

I tested this with the very small patch indicated in #1 and it worked. I did "apt-src install mutter" applied the patch.txt file with "patch -p1 < patch.txt" "apt-src build mutter" it fails all the tests but apparently this is expected, so i just went into the obj directory and did "sudo ninja install" and it replaced all the versions from the original .deb package. I logged out and back in, and then I was able to restart gnome-shell (alt+f2 and r) while I still had windows open. Their discussions about this issue seem to have gotten bogged down in minutiae of what other bugs are related, does some other bigger patch fix those bugs, no one tested it, etc. So I think it might be a good idea to carry this small patch for now, and hopefully by the time it starts conflicting it will no longer be necessary because it will be fixed some other way. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2040453 Title: Gnome 45 crash on restart in X11 session [Window manager error: Another compositing manager is already running on screen 0 on display “:0”] Status in GNOME Shell: New Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Arch Linux: New Bug description: Hello, Since the upgrade to Ubuntu 23.10 with Gnome45, it is no longer possible to restart gnome-shell without crashing the session.

This bug is definitely important to me, being able to restart GNOME Shell after it locks up, crashes, or updating an extension, _without_ losing any of my work or having to restart a large amount of open programs, is one of the main reasons I still run it on X11. Luckily I was testing 23.10 in a VM while working on porting an extension and so haven't updated my main machine yet. But I won't be doing that until this is fixed. There is a patch on their gitlab but they have to test it? It's relatively simple so we could all test a PPA with the change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2040453 Title: Gnome 45 crash on restart in X11 session [Window manager error: Another compositing manager is already running on screen 0 on display “:0”] Status in GNOME Shell: New Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Arch Linux: New Bug description: Hello, Since the upgrade to Ubuntu 23.10 with Gnome45, it is no longer possible to restart gnome-shell without crashing the session.

yeah, I haven't necessarily reported every crash I've experienced in launchpad as I've been restarting gnome-shell quite a bit when updating my extensions to gnome45 and couldn't be sure whether the crash was caused by the extension or gnome-shell itself. This crash on the other hand stayed when I upgraded on bare metal and was also reported by a number of people contributing to gnome-extensions which is why I felt it was worth investigating.
