Hi Debian and Gnome enthousiasts :) Summary: Lock then unlock GNOME session result in all GNOME extensions to be deactivated. Intermittent bug. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install fresh Debian 8.8 Jessie 2. Using https://extensions.gnome.org install and activate all the following extensions: • https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/310/alt-tab-workspace/ alt-tab-worksp...@kwalo.net (version 10.0) • https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/484/workspace-grid/ workspace-g...@mathematical.coffee.gmail.com (version 18.0) • https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/495/topicons/ topIcons@adel.gadl...@gmail.com (version 29.0) • https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/672/disable-screen-shield/ disable-screenshi...@lgpasquale.com (version 7.0) • https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/425/project-hamster-extension/ hams...@projecthamster.wordpress.com (version 26.0) • https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1082/cpufreq/ cpufreq@konkor (version 12.0) 3. Lock GNOME session 4. Unlock GNOME session. Notice that all extensions are now deactivated :( Expected result is that they should remaining activated per their configuration. 5. Using "Tweak Tool"/"gnome-tweak-tool" re-activate all those extensions. Restart GNOME by pressing "ALT-F2" keys, type "r", press "Enter" key. The extensions are now working. 6. Lock GNOME session again 7. Unlock GNOME session again. Issue is reproduced again. All extensions are deactivated. This bug is intermittent though. It depends on various factors, including but not limited: • Which extensions are activated • Your personal configuration with "gnome-tweak-tool" and "gnome-session" packages 8. This issue can also be reproduce with rebooting, instead of lock and unlock the session. Same steps to reproduce as above. But simply reboot. What I tried that was effective but temporary: Here is a related Ubuntu ticket which includes some temporary fixes, such as: # 12 at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1236749/comments/12 # 57 at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1236749/comments/57 What I tried that was ineffective: • Restart GNOME by pressing "ALT-F2" keys, type "r", press "Enter" key. • Rebooting • Using Terminal as user, run "gnome-tweak-tool" to see if any significant error where returned • Activate the extension using http://extensions.gnome.org insted of "Tweak Tool"/"gnome-tweak-tool" • Review “dconf-editor” for any suspicious configuration. /org/gnome/shell/disable-user-extensions default value was already set to “false” • I created a ticket at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1697229 After I created that ticket I realized that that launchpad seems to be for Ubuntu. Since gnome-session is primarily maintain by bugs.debian.org it seems more appropriate to create this ticket with bugs.debian.org System: • Base system: Debian 8.8 Jessie, 64-bit • Gnome: 3.14.1 • gnome-tweak-tool: 3.14.2-2 • gnome-session: 3.14.0-2 • gnome-session-bin: 3.14.0-2 • gnome-session-common: 3.14.0-2 • Kernel: 4.9.0-0.bpo.3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.25-1~bpo8+1 (2017-05-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux I would be happy to contribute testing if needed Let me know if you have any questions or need anything else Cheers, Francewhoa --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-0.bpo.3-amd64 Debian Release: 8.8 500 stable-updates mirror.it.ubc.ca 500 stable security.debian.org 500 stable repo.skype.com 500 stable mirror.it.ubc.ca 500 stable dl.google.com 100 jessie-backports ftp.debian.org --- Package information. --- Package's Depends field is empty.
