Error logs (kernel and gnome-shell)

[Cabus1982]

Hello, I use Arch Linux with GNOME (Wayland), and I've noticed that when opening (or using) the app "youtube-music-bin", the AppIndicator extension continuously logs messages.
I haven't seen any impact on functionality, but I'd like to understand why the log gets flooded.
Thanks in advance!

App
youtube-music-bin 3.7.5-1

Can you try enabling the 'Shortcuts (MPRIS)' plugin?

Yes, and no changes. I just added some kernel-level logs that I hadn't noticed before. ☝️☝️☝️

from the stack trace it looks like an issue with your "appindicator" trying to retrieve some D-Bus property every N-seconds and failing.

I looked into their repo and found this issue
ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator#534

Which was already fixed on master by this commit (it just ignores the error instead of spamming it)
ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator@b1db0b6

If you follow the stack trace using master as reference you'll see that those errors in appIndicator.js:190:51 and appIndicator.js:192:32 should NOT happen anymore, since the commit introduced a check to catch it and ignore the error.

TLDR: Try using appindicator's master version.

---

It doesn't look like an issue with youtube-music, I think this can be closed.

If somehow master still doesn't work, go to this issue
ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator#551
(it's probably a duplicate of 534 though, as another user in there already pointed it out)

You may be right, because I installed another extension for that purpose (status icon) and those particular logs no longer appear. We'll see what others think and if necessary, I'll close the case. Thanks
