After rebasing my Dell Latitude 7390 2-in-1 Convertible from Fedora Silverblue 38 (38.20231114.0) to 39 (39.20231115.0), gnome-shell segfaults when trying to login to a Wayland session, dropping me back to the login screen. Login with X11 is working fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Created attachment 2000437 [details] Journald output from startup to core dump
According to a german entry in the Ubuntu users forum (https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/gnome-unter-wayland-startet-nicht-nach-update-/), a fix is to delete the users dconf settings file (~/.config/dconf/user). This also worked for me, but I don't think some dconf setting should crash the session.
This component is maintained by the GNOME project. Issues with it should be reported directly to GNOME at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/. This issue should only be kept open if it: 1. Relates to Fedora packaging or integration with other Fedora components 2. Is required for Fedora release processes, such as blocker bugs and freeze exceptions If this issue isn't needed for either of these two reasons, please: * create an issue with GNOME * add a link to the GNOME issue here * close this issue as CLOSED/UPSTREAM Thank you!

gnome-shell on Wayland dumps core after login on Fedora Linux 40 (Workstation Edition) Kernel version : Linux 6.9.4-200.fc40.x86_64 However it X11 continues to work correctly The above recommendation "delete the users dconf settings file (~/.config/dconf/user)" fails to rectify the issue. Initial Fedora40 liveusb clean install worked sucessfully, issue materialized on next reboot following dnf update. journal extract has been attached.
