gnome-shell crashes when mounting, umounting usb drives

It might be the places-status-indicator extension.

My gnome-shell 3.26.2 session crashes (under Wayland) when mounting/unmounting an external USB disk or when unmounting a disk from an external USB DVD drive.

Bugs I found:

  • https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell-extensions/issues/48
  • https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell-extensions/issues/44
  • https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/issues/33

Running gjs 1.50.3 here. No newer release tag found.

Looking at the activity in the issue trackers, this seems to be a quite recent thingy cropping up.

UPDATE: 2018-02-07:

An update to gjs has been released as 1.50.4. An updated Fedora package arrived yesterday. Plugging and unplugging an USB device works again with activate places-status-indicator extension.
