Selecting GPU crashes settings window

[w8jcik]

Description

Selecting a GPU from the Main GPU dropdown in GPU settings leads to a hang of the interface for 5-20 seconds and a crash (disappearance) of the window.

After the crash the GPU activity history graph is empty until hovered with a mouse. The rest of extension works fine despite the crash.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Settings / GPU / Show : Enable
2. Select Main GPU from the dropdown.
3. Window disappears.

Environment

• Astra Monitor Version: 29, 28, 27, 26, 25 (didn't try older)
• GNOME Version: 46
• Operating System and Version: Ubuntu 24.04
• Other Relevant System Information: Nvidia RTX 2060

Logs

This appears in journalctl -xef when settings window disappears

Additional Context

My Nvidia GPU has the issue of a very long GPU name #152 but it is probably unrelated. Intel GPU has a short name and crashes in the same way.

Coming back to settings after the crash and selecting None also leads to a crash.

I have tried building the extension with updated girs packages, the issue persists.

[ljuzig]

I've occasionally encountered this issue as well, but it's a bug related to Gnome and GJS, so there's not much I can do about it. It shouldn't happen all the time, though. At least in my experience, most of the time, I'm able to successfully select the GPU. Currently, I can't reproduce the issue, so it might already be fixed. Could you try again and see if it still crashes? If it does, does it happen consistently?

[w8jcik]

It shouldn't happen all the time, though. At least in my experience, most of the time, I'm able to successfully select the GPU. Currently, I can't reproduce the issue, so it might already be fixed.

It does happen every time (just tried it right now), at least on Ubuntu 24.04 running it's default GNOME 46. The version of extension is 46 (v29). I am pretty sure I also tried it with Ubuntu 24.10 running it's default GNOME 47 and the issue was the same.

I'm able to successfully select the GPU.

Yes, kind of. Settings window crashes, but the GPU gets selected. Although graphs do not show anything until hovered with a mouse so one can believe that it doesn't work at first. I noticed it after some time, after trying to debug the issue for a while.

[fedkad]

I can confirm that the crash (settings window closes unexpectedly) happens always. Message in syslog like this:

Ubuntu 24.10 fully updated, GNOME 47, X11, Astra Monitor 29 (EGOv46).

[MarkyMarkDE]

Have the same issues, my onBoard GPU has also a long name and breaks the complete settings page and the best: my GPU isn't supported ... really? If it was correct detected, then Astra should be able to get its stats I think 😉

Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
GNOME v46
Astra v33
