gnome-shell-extension-prefs is now in universe. That makes the remainder of this bug a simple SRU candidate. I uploaded this change to the focal queue earlier today. It will need to be manually approved to be accepted into Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
** Summary changed: - [SRU] Move gnome-shell-extension-prefs to universe and add chrome-gnome-shell to its recommends + [SRU] Add chrome-gnome-shell to the recommends of gnome-shell-extension-prefs -- 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/1866841 Title: [SRU] Add chrome-gnome-shell to the recommends of gnome-shell- extension-prefs Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: [Impact] * Since GNOME 3.36, Shell Extensions can no longer be installed using GNOME Software (Ubuntu Software), instead there was a new Extensions (gnome-shell-extension-prefs) application prepared to replace this functionality. However, this application itself does not support installing new extensions, instead, it opens a web browser with a extensions.gnome.org website that allows browsing and installing new extensions. This website depends on a chrome-gnome-shell package that provides GNOME Shell integration (connector) for Firefox, Chrome, Chromium and other web browsers for this functionality. Without this connector, it is not possible to install Shell Extensions on Ubuntu 20.04. * In this SRU, I want to propose adding this chrome-gnome-shell package to recommends of the gnome-shell-extension-prefs package. However, since the gnome-shell-extension-prefs package is in a main repository and chrome-gnome-shell is in universe, it would be probably also needed to first move the gnome-shell-extension-prefs package to universe. [Test Case] * Install the "gnome-shell-extension-prefs" (Extensions) application. * Open the "Extensions" application, click the "i" button in the window header, click the "extensions.gnome.org" link. * In the web browser window, click on link inside the blue notification on extensions.gnome.org to install a browser extension (frontend for the connector), then refresh the page. * After this, a red notification appears on the web page telling the user that host connector is not running. [Regression Potential] * Without the chrome-gnome-shell package installed, it is not possible to install Shell Extensions on Ubuntu 20.04.
