Issues after bluefin 38-20230930 upgrade to latest 38-20231004

[Cyber-Oto]

Greetings Team,

I have upgraded today 3 of my devices (2 desktop PC and one VM) from bluefin 38-20230930 to latest 38-20231004 and all of them had the same issue - I cannot use special keys and some GNOME shortcuts do not work.

e.g.

• on my keyboard I have mute and volume up/down - not working after the upgrade
• some Super key shortcuts are not working, e.g. Super+L, Super+F1, ALT+Super+8, etc.
• navigation to GNOME Settings > View and Customize settings crashes with core dump each time

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Looking further in the logs, I found references to gsd-media-keys core dumps, e.g. Oct 04 14:53:51 ryzen5 systemd-coredump[2679]: Process 2657 (gsd-media-keys) of user 1000 dumped core. and Oct 04 16:35:12 ryzen5 systemd[1096]: Failed to start org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.MediaKeys.service - GNOME keyboard shortcuts service.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Update:
Went to pin to specific version - tested 38-20231003, 38-20231002 and latest working for me is 38-20231001,

Went also on Fedora 39 branch - same thing as above.

Update 2
Same problem, for me, also with 38.20231005

Can confirm, I am on 38.20231005 and Super+L and Media keys stopped working

I have also tested Bazzite GNOME – same issue as with Bluefin.

Switched to Beyond and all is OK.

Thank you very much for your report. It took me some time, but I was able to reproduce the issue.

I've installed a fresh vm with rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-image:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin:38-20231001

Indeed the shortcuts are working.

After that i have rebased with rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-image:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin:38-20231005
Shortcuts are not working anymore and I see the segfaults reported in the issue.

I've pinpointed the issue. Working on a fix.

I have made PR that should fix the issue. After its merged you should have functional keyboard shortcuts again. This issue will close automatic. Feel free to re-open this issue if it did not fix the problem for you.

Thanks again for the reports.
