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...

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.

  • [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;

    } else {

    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.

  • [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

    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).

  • 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-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?

  • 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-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

  • 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

  • Weird gnome-shell/gdm issue

    This is the first time using arch, though I have been using Ubuntu for a while. I have it installed in 64-bit virtualbox inside an ubuntu host.
    I just installed gdm and gnome-shell, but a weird issue happens when drawing some text. This happens on the login screen on the usernames and in the applications menu on the application names. It draws a weird blur behind them, but it is different for each. It looks like this:
    This actually might not be related, but this is the bigger issue. When I open an application, a small box is drawn along with it. It is always in the same place, and seems to draw part of the window. Specifically, it draws the lower left corner of whatever I try to interact with, whether it is by clicking or typing. Anything that I do isn't shown on the actual window until I press the escape button or drag the window to refresh it. For typing, it doesn't ever seem to work. It looks like this:
    http://i.imgur.com/ui38KWE.png
    Thanks for any help. This is just a virtualbox install, so its not that important, but I would like to try out arch linux.
    UPDATE: The blur issue might have to do with shadows, as shown here, kinda:
    This doesn't happen with my ubuntu install, though.
    Last edited by Aeodyn (2013-02-17 07:37:20)

    Another update: I tried restarting it with gnome-shell --replace which didn't help, but I then accidentally hit ctrl-c. This closed gnome-shell, leaving the windows open, and got rid of the weird box. I don't know if this will help at all. There were also some warnings in the terminal output of gnome-shell, but I couldn't scroll or select them. One last thing: After logging in to gnome-shell, the background is just black, but after restarting it with "alt-f2, r", it gets back the default blue background. The other issues are unaffected.

  • Gnome shell stopped working since last update

    Today, after a -Suy and a reboot, gnome-shell is refusing to work. I get thrown into a window manager with nothing open but with my keyboard shortcuts working.
    Running 'gnome-shell --replace' in a terminal outputs:
    (gnome-shell:4819): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.shell' does not contain a key named 'enabled-extensions'
    Trace/breakpoint trap
    I can see the key using 'dconf-editor' but not when using 'gsettings':
    $ gsettings list-keys org.gnome.shell
    command-history
    development-tools
    disabled-extensions
    disabled-open-search-providers
    enable-app-monitoring
    favorite-apps
    looking-glass-history
    I suspect the database is corrupt or something. Is there a way to delete it and restore to defaults?

  • 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

  • Scion TC Ipod stereo issues since itunes 7 release?

    I upgraded my scion tc back in may of this year to an ipod stereo my ipod worked great with it up until i synced it with itunes 7.0. After this the ipod would freeze up when changing tracks as well as the hard drive could be heard spinning. Ultimately one ipod has been destroyed and the replacement is on its way out. I have had the stereo replaced as well as the car completely checked over by scion and they cannot find anything wrong with it. It has also exhibited issues after being formatted by a mac as well as a pc both running the same versions of itunes and both had the same effect. Has anyone else experienced issues with ipod connectivity in cars since upgrading to itunes 7?
    pc   Windows XP Pro  

    I finally gave up on iTunes 7. After uninstalling iTunes 7 and reinstalling iTunes 6, my iPod became more reliable and Windows XP would consistently mount it. Even though iTunes 7 is well conceived, I founded considerably slower than version 6. The slowdown becomes apparent when iTunes automatically starts with connecting an iPod. Syncing the iPod with a large music database will cause a slowdown; even a crash.
    I do not believe that iTunes is multi-threading well on Windows XP. My other syncing applications do not put a strain on my computer’s resources. My computer handles Photoshop 10 megapixel processing and a 2 gigs bi-directional sync over my network without a hiccup. iTune grinds my computer to a halt with just a 2 gigs syncing to the iPod. In addition, all startup items were disabled in the troubleshooting process.
    Even though features like the Summary tabs and view by album art appeal to me, I will hold off on the iTunes 7 upgrade in place of speed and reliability. I have a couple recommendations as well. These suggestions are for people with large music databases and a large number of hard drive and firewire devices.
    TURN ON – Automatically update selected playlist only
    TURN OFF – Open iTunes when this iPod is attached
    If you restore you iPod, leave your computer alone for several hours while iTunes fills up a large capacity iPod. It took me all weekend to reload my iPod.
