Details

Description:
First of all, as mentioned also on the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lenovo_ThinkPad_P52 , the default display port is from nvidia graphic card.
So I am not sure if it's because of an incompatibility between the latest versions of gnome, xorg and nvidia, or is just a gnome issue.
I have another laptop, that uses the default inter graphic card and I head no issue with it.

The manifests as follow: after the update, I am able to log in, I have Microsoft teams automatically opened and it works, but if I try to open activities, and start a new app, everything crashes.
I do not see any app, only the ones in favorite, and I can not open any of them. Even by using the shortcuts I can not open a terminal window.

The system is unusable.

Additional info:
* package version 3.36
* log files are attached (last 2 hours) from before the update and after downgrading for jourlnalctl, while for the pacman.log, there are all that head n /var/log
* I do not know of any upstream errors.

Steps to reproduce:
Using a ThinkPad P52 install the latest updates.
   pacman.log (0.96 MiB)
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Reporter: i made some more investigation and it looks like an gnome extension was creating the issue, i removed all of them, and now it works, on the lts kernel with the nvidia lts driver.

I am attaching again the log file. It was to big. have split it in 2.
journalctl --since "2 hour ago" > logs.txt
head -n 13000 logs.txt > logs2.txt
tail -n +13001 logs.txt > logs3.txt

   logs2.txt (1.35 MiB)
   logs3.txt (1.71 MiB)

If you downgrade glibc to 2.30-3 can you still reproduce the issue?
