Can't update gnome-shell-extensions-common

https://extensions.gnome.org/
Note that this site currently only works in firefox. Find the extension you want and toggle the switch to on, it then asks if you want to install the extension.
I am not sure what extensions I Have installed. I don't think I installed any out of the default, though I did recently install cinnamon.
how can I tell what needs to be removed?
--nixIT
ps. still learning gnome 3
If you don't run into any trouble when running an update you should be fine. If you do pacman should tell you which packages are causing the issue.

[SOLVED] Gnome Shell Extensions won't install from website

When I go to https://extensions.gnome.org/ from either Chromium or Firefox, extensions fail to install. If I click the toggle to turn a new extension "ON", nothing happens. Reloading the site switches it back to "OFF".
I was able to install gnome-shell-extension-mediaplayer-git from the AUR. (Which also pulls in gnome-shell-extension-common-git.) It works fine. The problem is that most of the extensions on the AUR appear to be outdated and the users directed to the official site.
This is a relatively new install of Arch and extensions have never worked. Maybe there's a package I'm missing? Or is there a way to get any debugging output? I'm not sure where to look.

I found the following from AskUbuntu (not my own words, pasted from the source:
I'll take a wild stab in the dark: If you're using Chrome/Chromium, navigate to about:plugins and make sure "Gnome Shell Integration" is enabled. Then navigate back to extensions.gnome.org and when the ribbon appears at the top make sure you "Always Allow for this Site"
On Firefox you'll have to do something similar if you've turned extensions off. Browse to about:plugins and make sure libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so is present / enabled. If it's not, upgrade Gnome Shell, or find it on your filesystem and link to it from to ~/.mozilla/plugins (you shouldn't have to do this though).

Gnome shell extensions issues since 3.2 release...

I may be a little early in the game here but I figured I would just mention that I'm having issues with pretty much all the cool extensions I had installed prior to 3.2. I was wondering if anyone else was having similar issues. I changed 3.0 to 3.2 in the metadata.js file to no avail, they are still unusable. Was there any other changes that needed to be made?
The ones I cared the most about are:
system monitor (the cool one in the aur, not the one in repo)
weather
a11y (i know there is a hack, but I'd prefer a extension... or just an option to be able to remove the dang universal access icon period)
frippery (which are a bunch of different ones such as the apps button, quick launch, and such)
Also all my themes are a bit messed up... so what was the biggest changes in 3.2 besides the transparency finally working in the terminal?
I still like gnome 3 and know sometimes you have to take steps back to go forward...

wonder wrote:who cares about extensions. they are unsupported by upstream
Well i care about extensions, since i can not login into gnome after updating to 3.2.
Maybe i didnt spend hours on fixing the problems, but is this the sence it is supposed to be?
The extensions were disabled by default, after the error message came, and it didnt do anything.
Then i moved the extensions out of /usr/share/gnome-shell, to make it work temporarily.
What happened? Only one extension left that made problems: gnome-shell-theme-selector.
Does anybody how to switch this off? Or something, that can login again?
Edit:
i found the info again, that this theme-selector is in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
I moved the extension one directory higher. And now in this error message window it is said that i should re-login,
but there is nothing said about any extension any more.

New GNOME Shell Extensions That Provide A GNOME2-Like User Experience

Ron Yorston has created some pretty cool GNOME Shell extensions that "provide a user experience more akin to that of GNOME 2". Using these extensions you can move the clock next to your username, get an old-style menu, disable dynamic workspaces and place the favourites on the top panel.
you can get more info here:
at webupd8.org and on his homepage
I also made a package: gnome-shell-frippery
here's a screenshot:

I download gnote extension from this page: http://www.fpmurphy.com/gnome-shell-extensions/
I edit extension.js from ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected] to have more tray icons on status bar and not only gnote (which I am not using). So I added Pidgin and Skype to the file. But with Pidgin there is problem, it has icon very top and I would like to have it in center like icon Skype...anyone know how to do this?

Gnome-shell-extension-places-menu

Hello,
I have some questions about the places menu.
1. Is it possible to have it show an item that I have in my bookmarks which is to a samba share?
smb://192.168.1.202/temp/ (named Temp)
While that location is mounted, the item shows as a removable device. However, I would like to be able to mount the location from the places menu.
2. Is it possible to show removable devices (such as usb flash drives) before they are mounted? (I don't automount my drives)
3. Is it possible to see a newly added bookmark without restarting the shell? (or see removed bookmark go away)
I guess I am asking if it is possible to have the places menu in the shell show the items that are in the "places" of nautilus.
I have also played with the gnome-shell-extension-drives-menu. The description of the package describes that it can be used to mount and unmount removable media. How do I unmount without opening Nautilus?

Thanks
FYI gnome-shell needs to be restarted for changes to appear.
Alt+F2 type 'r' and enter to restart it.

[Gnome Shell extension] PopupMenu not working

Hi!
I'm trying to develop a gnome shell extension, more precisely, a modification of the globalmenu extension. I want the old gnome2-globalmenu style instead of what have been already ported to gnome 3. So I've got a problem with my PopupMenu :
I've got the menu but I can't click on it, the cursor doesn't have any effect on the menu, I can only click through all the menu items. The panel button code is shown below :
function MyButton(label, path, app) {
this._init(label, path, app);
MyButton.prototype = {
__proto__: PanelMenu.Button.prototype,
_init: function(label, path, app) {
PanelMenu.Button.prototype._init.call(this, 0.0);
this._metaDisplay = global.screen.get_display();
this._targetApp = app;
let bin = new St.Bin();
this.actor.add_actor(bin);
this.actor.reactive = true;
this._label = new St.Label({ style_class: 'panel-globalmenu-item',
text: label
bin.set_child(this._label);
/*this._visible = !Main.overview.visible;
if (!this._visible)
this.actor.hide();
Main.overview.connect('hiding', Lang.bind(this, function () {
this.show();
Main.overview.connect('showing', Lang.bind(this, function () {
this.hide();
this.menu.connect('open-state-changed', Lang.bind(this, this.refreshMenu, path, this.menu));
refreshMenu: function(obj, open, path, menu) {
if(!open) {
return false;
var xwindow = this._getTargetXWindow();
if(xwindow != 0) {
var manager = new Manager();
manager.GetUiRemote(xwindow, path,
Lang.bind(this, function(result, error, xwindow) {
this.rebuildMenu(menu, path, result, xwindow);
}, xwindow)
return false;
rebuildMenu: function(menu, path, ui, xwindow) {
var xml = XML('<menu>'+ui+'</menu>');
var i = 0;
menu.removeAll();
var current_group = new PopupMenu.PopupMenuSection();
for each (var item in xml.*) {
var visible = !([email protected]() == "false");
var sensitive = !([email protected]() == "false");
var menuitem = null;
switch(item.name().toString()) {
case "radio":
case "check":
var active = ([email protected]()=="true")
menuitem = new PopupMenu.PopupSwitchMenuItem([email protected](), active);
break;
case "item":
if([email protected]() == "true") {
menuitem = new PopupMenu.PopupSubMenuMenuItem([email protected]());
menuitem.menu = new PopupSubMenu(menuitem.actor, menuitem._triangle);
menuitem.menu.connect('open-state-changed', Lang.bind(menuitem, menuitem._subMenuOpenStateChanged));
menuitem.menu.connect('pre-open-state-changed',
Lang.bind(this, this.refreshMenu, path + i + '/', menuitem.menu));
} else {
menuitem = new PopupMenu.PopupMenuItem([email protected]());
break;
case "separator":
//menuitem = new PopupMenu.PopupSeparatorMenuItem();
if(visible) {
menu.addMenuItem(current_group);
current_group = new PopupMenu.PopupMenuSection();
break;
case "empty":
case "tearoff":
default:
menuitem = new PopupMenu.PopupMenuItem(item.name().toString());
visible = false;
break;
if(menuitem) {
if([email protected]() != "") {
menuitem.actor.tooltip_text = [email protected]();
menuitem.actor.has_tooltip = true;
menuitem.actor.visible = visible;
if(!sensitive) {
menuitem.actor.add_style_pseudo_class('insensitive');
menuitem.connect("activate", Lang.bind(this, function(menuitem, event, xwindow, path) {
var manager = new Manager();
manager.EmitRemote(xwindow, path);
}, xwindow, path + i));
current_group.addMenuItem(menuitem);
i++;
menu.addMenuItem(current_group);
if (path == "/" && i == 1) {
var quitMenu = new PopupMenu.PopupMenuItem("Close %s".format(this._targetApp.get_name()));
menu.addMenuItem(quitMenu);
quitMenu.connect('activate', Lang.bind(this, this._onQuit));
_getTargetXWindow: function() {
if (this._targetApp == null)
return 0;
var list = this._targetApp.get_windows();
var window = list[0];
return GlobalMenu.meta_window_get_xwindow(window);
I don't know how to solve this issue, maybe someone could help me.

No offense taken, and yes, I've seen the other threads. However this one is interesting since it a) works under root login and b) works on my laptop running an almost identical Arch setup (down to SLiM login and various other config files).
Oh, and the gnome-shell-extension-apps-menu package is in the official repos, not AUR.

Gnome-shell-extension-windows-navigator styling differs from the AUR

I installed gnome-shell-extension-windows-navigator 3.0.1-0.20110513 from extra. When I used the AUR package, the styling was better.
1) When hitting Ctrl the workspace number was displayed.
2) When hitting Alt the window numbers were shown in the same style as close button just on the left side of the window. Now they are in the windows' top left corner and they are hard to seen.
Is there a way to get that styling? I think I could get the extension's stylesheet.css from the AUR package, but it will be overwrite with every upgrade.thumbs

[SOLVED] gnome-shell-extension-user-theme doesn't work.

gnome-tweak-tool shows that I have the gnome-shell-extension-user-theme extension installed and I can turn it on and off, but it has no effect. I still can't choose a theme. The exclamation mark next to the drop down selector is still active when the extension is on. Any idea what might be wrong?

Well yea I agree, but atm it's not going to happen. Anyway, since GS won't work with Catalyst for now I resorted to DWM and try to avoid all the gconf/dconf stuff. Works quite well

Gnome-shell-extensions for status bar

Does anyone know if it would be possible to make a gnome-shell extension to make the status bar at the bottom of gnome-shell always visible and that windows don't cover it?
Thanks.

Gnome-shell-extension-system-monitor

Good Morning Everyone,
do you know how to make the above package work under GNOME? I've installed and configured lm_sensors on my ThinkPad T420 and that works quite nicely. However, installing the above package (via pacman) does not make it appear in GNOME shell. lg shows that it has been found/activated but there's no other sign of it running.
If you know about any other extension that will allow me to display system information (temperatures, fan speeds, ...), please let me know. I've already checked extensions.gnome.org but haven't found a suitable alternative. The above package is available from there as well but is documented as only being compatible with GNOME 3.3.
Cheers,
Smoerrebroed

Hello,i know that the version from extensions.gnome.org its compatible only whit gnome 3.3 but from there you have the link to github,and you can actually install it by there give it a try,it`s a nice extension

Gnome-shell-extension-user-theme does not work.

Hello everyone,
I am having an interesting issue with using custom gnome-shell themes via the gnome-tweak-tool and user-theme extension on a fresh install today. It is showing as enabled in the shell extension list, but when trying to select a gnome-shell theme, it's grayed out and says extension is disable. All other theme options work correctly. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
thanks in advance.

Yes, there's a problem with the latest version of user theme package. See last post in this thread (post #75):
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127459&p=3
Basically, you need to remove user theme extension, download the one specified in that post and install that instead, using pacman -U packagename
I just fixed that same problem on my machine less than 10 minutes ago

Can not update ANY installed extension.

While firefox will alert me to avaiable updated extensions when I proceed to update all I get for my troubles: (the below example is for adblock, but also happens to the only other extension I have which is stumbleupon)

Since latest updates - Gnome Shell, scrolling is reversed

I upgraded a bunch of updates relating to xorg earlier (testing repo is enabled). Since rebooting, the scrolling on my touchpad is reversed. I really don't want this.
A bit of googling suggests that to enable reverse scrolling you must edit ~/.Xmodmap, but the file is non-existant, so it technically shouldn't be enabled in the first place.
Any ideas on how to fix it?
Edit: I just noticed if you scroll on the left side of the touchpad, it scrolls the right way. If you scroll around the top and bottom it scrolls too. It seems like circular scrolling is permanently on and also reversed. Very strange.
