Dear mainteiner,

I start gnome-maps
$ gnome-maps

I left-click the second upper left button (Choose map type)
I left-click to the open pop-up (Open shape layer...)

gnome-maps stop to respond for few second and then it crash with the
following errors:

Gjs-Message: 09:17:48.278: JS LOG: Failed to request Wikipedia metadata: Impossibile connettersi: I/O sul socket scaduto
Gdk-Message: 09:17:48.314: Lost connection to Wayland compositor.


I have had this problem only once, but i think gnome-maps must not crash

Ciao
Davide

Hello,

I have redirected the wikipedia and wikidata DNS entries in the hosts
file to the localhost
and I was getting "Gjs-Message: 10:33:42.634: JS LOG: Failed to request
Wikidata entities: null" message in the terminal, but the application
didn't crash anytime.

I consider this as done, if the problem still persist, please open a new
bug report.

Thanks,
Dawid Kulas
