ERRORS on GNOME Shell block all GNOME Extensions
Hello, I installed an Arch Linux-based distro (kernel: 5.18.7-arch1-1) with GNOME 42.2 and GDM as Display Manager and Windowing System as Wayland.
On my system I just installed three Gnome Extensions:
flypie@schneegans.github.com
burn-my-windows@schneegans.github.com
appindicatorsupport@rgcjonas.gmail.com
and the other Gnome Extensions are installed by the system:
apps-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com
auto-move-windows@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com
drive-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com
launch-new-instance@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com
native-window-placement@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com
places-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com
screenshot-window-sizer@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com
user-theme@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com
window-list@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com
windowsNavigator@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com
workspace-indicator@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com
When I run the system, the Extensions I install don't work. I tried also to uninstall all of them 3, rebooting and reinstalling one of them but with no luck. When I install new Gnome extensions and enable them, I don't get any error. Furthermore, I can access correctly to the gnome-extensions prefs . They only don't start when I run them.
So, I guess the issue is not related to these Gnome extensions since if I uninstall all of them and I reinstall another different extension, it is not run.
By executing sudo journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell
I get the following messages with several errors (PS: I uninstalled the 3 extensions above so they don't appear, but even if they were installed, the errors don't change):

Probably one of these errors is affecting the correct working of the Gnome extensions? How can I fix them?
Thanks
