    Enable gnome-shell-extensions

    Hi, is it necessary to enable the gnome-shell-extensions? I have installed

    Code:
    $ rpm -qa | grep gnome-shell
    gnome-shell-extensions-places-menu-3.0.1-3.03660fgit.fc15.noarch
    gnome-shell-extensions-common-3.0.1-3.03660fgit.fc15.noarch
    gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme-3.0.1-3.03660fgit.fc15.noarch
    gnome-shell-3.0.2-1.fc15.x86_64
    gnome-shell-extensions-drive-menu-3.0.1-3.03660fgit.fc15.noarch
    gnome-shell-extensions-alternative-status-menu-3.0.1-3.03660fgit.fc15.noarch
    but without effect.

    Re: Enable gnome-shell-extensions

    If you dont want the hassle of downloading and installing the fixed packages then just do below and restart gnome-shell or computer.
    su - sed -i 's/3.0.1/3.0.2/g' /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/*/*.json

    Re: Enable gnome-shell-extensions

    Or, if you do not what to have to change the version number until 3.2 for global extensions
    Code:
    su - sed -i 's/3.0.1/3.0/g' /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/*/*.json

    Re: Enable gnome-shell-extensions

    It can't work, because these extensions are for gnome 3.1.92 and today there was gnome 3.2 update.
    But any extension doesn't work for me since I've upgraded to Fedora16. Which is strange isn't it?

    Re: Enable gnome-shell-extensions

    I had a couple of the extensions that didn't work for me as well.

    A few weeks ago, I installed the one that removes the accessibility icon thing, and it crashed gnome-shell. Haven't tried it since the latest gnome updates, though.

    But as lipisak stated, once you update to gnome 3.2, it's going to break just about every extension unless you do as fpmurphy suggested up there, but replacing 3.0 with 3.2.

    Just replacing the version number in the extension json files should work for most of them. There may be a few that need some actual coding changes due to the newer version, but shouldn't be many of them.

    Re: Enable gnome-shell-extensions

    The updates in testing right now fix this issue... there is no need to edit (sed) any json files.

    You can get most themes and extensions working again by running these 2 commands:

    Code:
    yum update gnome-shell-extension-* --enablerepo=updates-testing
    and then

    Code:
    yum update gnome-shell-theme-* --enablerepo=updates-testing
    Once updates are installed restart gnome-shell (alt+f2 then r).


    Versions installed:
    Code:
    [user@myhost ~]$ rpm -qa |grep -e gnome-shell-theme -e gnome-shell-extension |sort
    gnome-shell-extension-common-3.2.0-1.fc16.noarch
    gnome-shell-extension-places-menu-3.2.0-1.fc16.noarch
    gnome-shell-extension-presentation-mode-0-0.2.gitc3ce6b2.fc16.noarch
    gnome-shell-extension-remove-accessibility-icon-20110603-1.fc16.noarch
    gnome-shell-extension-user-theme-3.2.0-1.fc16.noarch
    gnome-shell-extension-windowsNavigator-3.2.0-1.fc16.noarch
    gnome-shell-extension-workspacesmenu-0-1.fc16.noarch
    gnome-shell-theme-atolm-3.2-1.fc16.noarch
    gnome-shell-theme-dark-glass-1.0-1.fc16.noarch
    gnome-shell-theme-gaia-1.0-1.fc16.noarch
    gnome-shell-theme-orta-1.0-1.fc16.noarch
    gnome-shell-theme-smooth-inset-3.2-1.fc16.noarch

    Note that the following extensions are still not updated even in testing and still are not working:

    Code:
    gnome-shell-extension-presentation-mode-0-0.2.gitc3ce6b2.fc16.noarch
    gnome-shell-extension-remove-accessibility-icon-20110603-1.fc16.noarch
    gnome-shell-extension-workspacesmenu-0-1.fc16.noarch

    Re: Enable gnome-shell-extensions

    I have GNOME 3.2 and installed few 3.2 compatible extensions, they load without error but they are disabled when I look in extensions tab via LookingGlass (lg) tool.

    How do I enable them?

    Re: Enable gnome-shell-extensions

    User themes are not turned on by default in Gnome, when in Gnome tweak tool you have to enable "User Theme Extensions". I believe that item is on the "Shell Extensions" settings page.


    [Edit]
    Don't forget to restart gnome shell (alt+f2, then r, then enter)

    Re: Enable gnome-shell-extensions

    A new version of gnome-shell-extension-tool (not yet in repos) has support for enabling and disabling 3.2 Shell extensions. That version is available is available at http://fpmurphy.com/gnome-shell-extensions.

    For example to enable a noa11y@example.com extension
    Code:
            gnome-shell-extension-tool -e noa11y@example.com
    To disable a previously enabled extension
    Code:
            gnome-shell-extension-tool -d  noa11y@example.com
    I have enhanced that version of g-s-e-t in a number of ways including -D to disable all extensions at once. That version (gset) is also available the website.
