Extensions are pretty badly buggy for me on Focal. Some work, but many don't, and won't upgrade, can't be configured, and don't give any information about why they have failed.
If I go to https://extensions.gnome.org/, the installed extensions page tells me that there are extensions like gsconnect and night-light-slider have an unspecified error but that they can be upgraded, but when I tell them to upgrade I just get another unspecified error and when I refresh the page, it says again that I can upgrade them. Both those extensions do apparently have 3.36 versions - I just can't upgrade them. Likewise, trying to install these extensions from git doesn't work. I still get an error but with no indication what it is. The new gnome-shell Extensions application doesn't show any extensiosn unless I use the On/Off button to disable and then re-enable them. Then it shows some extensions, but not all, and some of the manually installed ones appear in the Built-In section. None of the configuration/settings windows work, whether I try to launch them from gnome-tweaks, https://extensions.gnome.org/, or the new gnome- shell Extensions application. Coverflow-alt-tab is just broken in X11 (but works in Wayland) - see https://github.com/dmo60/CoverflowAltTab/issues/117. There are some errors in journalctl -e, such as this one: JS ERROR: Error: Wrong type number; string expected: _updateState@resource:///org/gnome/shell/extensionPrefs/main.js:706:9 I read somewhere that the configuration/settings windows not working is a known issue in 3.35, so I'm looking forward to 3.36 arriving in Focal and hopefully fixing some of these things. ** Bug watch added: github.com/dmo60/CoverflowAltTab/issues #117 https://github.com/dmo60/CoverflowAltTab/issues/117 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1866228 Title: Gnome shell extensions are badly broken Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi, After an upgrade this morning, the following things are not working: - Earlier the Application key brought up something called "Activities", which happens now via ApplicationA or SuperA, the microsoft key - I can not find and search for extensions in the "Software" application. There are just a few addons/extensions, gstreamer ones, fonts and some input - any attempt at removing an installed extension results in a "you have no permission" error, without asking for a password. Apparently gnome-shell is crashing in the background, i'll attach logs if the tool does not. - The Tweak app shows a warning triangle next to the "Dash to panel" extension, by clicking on it the "Extension" thing starts up which shows nothing. - If I install the dash-to-panel extension from a package the top bar does not appears properly, the icons, workplace switcher etc all crumpled into the top left corne,r overlapping each other, thus being mostly unusable. I think that the extensions are not yet upgraded to gnome-shell 3.35, but I have no way to check it. I also have no trivial way to downgrade gnome shell to 3.34. Please advise.
