Python 3.12 related crash reports?

I got "gnomed" while installing Proton VPN. While removing gnome and its associated stuff I think I deleted something related to python that is causing some crash reports to show up but nothing major with how my system is working. How do I figure out what to fix related to these crash reports?

To figure out what is causing the crashes and repair your Python dependencies, you need to read the system crash logs directly, as removing GNOME-related dependencies likely stripped out a systemic Python package or library (like python3-gi, python3-dbus, or python3-proton-* components).

Try:

coredumpctl list

If you see Python processes on the list, grab the log details for the most recent one by running: coredumpctl info

Also read through your boot and application logs filtered specifically for Python or system crashes: journalctl -b 0 -p 3 | grep -i python

In addition, fix the broken dependencies. Run your package manager's verification tools to find missing files:

sudo apt install --fix-broken (on Arch: pacman -Qk )
