Package: gnome-session-bin
Version: 42.0-1
In the journal log I discovered (among other crazy stuff) this:

In general, failing assertions are not good.  Besides this and in plain English, what does the message “GLib-GIO-CRITICAL: g_bus_get_sync: assertion 'error == NULL || *error == NULL' failed” tell us?  Who is the culprit and what to do?  Versions of the packages outputting into the log just before the error occurred:
tracker-miner-fs 2.3.5-2.1, rtkit 0.13-4, dbus 1.12.24-0+deb11u1, systemd 247.3-7+deb11u2, wireplumber 0.4.2-5, gnome-session-bin 42.0-1, gnome-session 42.0-1.
(The machine has many issues, which might or might not be related to this. Among them, e.g., no sound output in gnome through loudspeakers connected via a standard 3-pole 3.5 mm audio jack.)
Gratefully,
