gjs is not responding in Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

it flag

I am receiving gjs is not responding popup when logging into the system. I have also noticed that if I click on force quit then a black screen comes followed by the login screen. That is, on clicking force quit, i've to again login by entering the password. Below is the screenshot for the same.

enter image description here


The output of the command ps -aux | grep -n gjs is:

Most likely caused by a gnome-shell extension.

For me this worked:

(Note: That this will disable desktop icons, as it is part of that extensions functionality. Personally I only use my desktop to watch a pretty picture = ok)

sudo apt-get remove -y gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
