Bug#1121170: GNOME Shell 48.4 crashes with OBS recording

Show all headers | View raw

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 48.4-1~deb13u1

Hello, GNOME Shell version 48.4 is affected with crash when recording with OBS.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start GNOME Shell 48.4 with Wayland and Pipewire
2. Start some program (I used chromium in flatpak)
3. Start OBS and start to record program window from step 2. (I used OBS also from flatpak)
4. Wait 1-3 hours for recording
During step 4 the GNOME will crash or break wayland socket, making
all programs to close and OBS to also crash. The only fix is fully restart GNOME shell.

My logs when this issue happens:
    gnome-shell[2101]: WL: error in client communication (pid 2837)
    gnome-shell[2101]: WL: file descriptor expected, object (83), message add(huuuuu)
    gnome-shell[2101]: WL: error in client communication (pid 7809)
    gnome-shell[2101]: WL: error marshalling arguments for format_table: dup failed: Too many open files

From GNOME gitlab bug tracker this is known issue which is fixed in GNOME 48.5+:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/8659
This looks like the patch for fix:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/4577

Can GNOME shell in debian stable updated to 48.5 or fix patch be ported?

I am using Debian GNU/Linux 13.2, kernel 6.12.57+deb13-amd64
and libc6 2.41-12.

Thank you!
