Gnome-shell keeps crashing a few seconds after login

Gnome-shell crashes a few seconds after login. KDE login works. GDM works fine. It crashes with “gnome” and “gnome classic”.

gnome-shell dumps core, and libmutter bails. Mutter bailing is the first error.

libmutter:ERROR:../src/backends/native/meta-kms-impl.device.c:1222:meta_kms_impl_device_get_fd: assertion failed: (meta_kms_in_impl_task (meta_kms_impl_get_kms (priv->impl)))

Hi and welcome to :fedora:
Thank you for reporting upstream!

I have absolutely same issue with Arch Linux OS, Gnome Wayland, hybrid notebook (Intel+Nvidia). On mouse move gnome-shell crashing again and again with error message: libmutter:ERROR:../mutter/src/backends/native/meta-kms-impl-device.c:1221:meta_kms_impl_device_get_fd: assertion failed: (meta_kms_in_impl_task (meta_kms_impl_get_kms (priv->impl))).
I have managed to resolve this issue by rolling back following packages: gnome-shell (1:48.0-1 => 1:47.5-1) and mutter (48.0-4 => 47.6-1).
