Description: On GNOME 3.28 gnome-shell will freeze when a
seconday HiDPI display is attached. This also affects GDM
when running with the Wayland backend.
Steps to reproduce: * Have a laptop with a built-in (HiDPI) display * Attach a secondary HiDPI display This bug is tracked upstream in: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/153 If you're affected by this bug you should see some entries along the lines of `Failed to set CRTC mode 3840x2160: Invalid argument` and `Failed to flip: Invalid argument` in `journalctl` (aside from the obvious hint of your whole system freezing when you plug in the monitor). |
This task depends upon
` and run a `pacman -Syyuu` to downgrade to that version of the archive.
I've been able to upgrade past 2018-03-24 by updating pacman.conf as follows to avoid GNOME getting updated:
```
IgnorePkg = gnome-* evolution-* dconf gcr gdl gegl gsettings-* jsonrpc-glib libanjuta libdazzle libgdm libgtop libgweather libnautilus-extension *gobject* template-glib yelp-xsl zenity
IgnoreGroup = gnome gnome-extra
```
Note that partial upgrades like this is pretty much unsupported by Arch, but at least seems to work on the machines I tried it. Please inspect the output of a `pacman -Syu` carefully and adjust the `IgnorePkg` according to your system if you want to try this.
