You can reopen this issue once you provide a full backtrace with all the required debug symbols!

[Vityacv]

ok, maybe I can retry it using other distro in vm, I don't have debug symbols, for now I can provide backtrace from gdb:

You have missing debug symbols, the backtrace is useless without them.

[Vityacv]

I did a build with latest commit and passed --buildtype=debug to meson
got this stacktrace
(gdb) backtrace

also checked that live cd mint 22 doesn't have this issue (nemo 6.2.6)

[Vityacv]

Did a build of 6.2.6 version, it crashes too, so not sure what can be the reason, I have this in stdout before crash

Segmentation fault

[leigh123linux]

The backtrace isn't usable as it still has missing symbols for glib and gtk3.

It isn't reproducible on fedora

 [leigh@mpd-pc ~]$ nemo --version
nemo 6.2.8
[leigh@mpd-pc ~]$ nemo --existing-window
[leigh@mpd-pc ~]$

[Jeremy7701]

It isn't reproducible in LMDE6

jeremy@hal:~$ nemo --version
nemo 6.2.8
( Launch nemo via GUI )
jeremy@hal:~$ nemo --existing-window
This causes the GUI nemo window to gain an additional tab

[mtwebster]

Is this Cinnamon or something else? Wayland or x11?

[Vityacv]

I'm running sway on nvidia, maybe some missing desktop services that expected to run causing this

[mtwebster]

It's because the code currently relies on x11 to work properly -
