Title:
gnome-shell-extension-manager update feature doesn't work unless
gnome-shell-extension-prefs is installed
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in gnome-shell source package in Jammy:
In Progress
Bug description:
Impact
------
There are 2 apps available in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to manage extensions: the
older Extensions app built as part of GNOME Shell but included in a separate
binary package (gnome-shell-extension-prefs) and the newer third party
Extension Manager from Matt Jakeman (packaged as gnome-shell-extension-manager).
Extension Manager has a feature that automatically updates GNOME Shell
extensions (like the Extensions app). However, the feature wasn't
working unless the Extensions app was also installed because GNOME
Shell didn't recognize the Extension Manager app as permitted to
update GNOME Shell extensions.
Test Case
---------
0. Make sure you don't have the gnome-shell-extension-prefs app installed.
Open a terminal and run
sudo apt remove gnome-shell-extension-prefs
1. Extract the bluetooth-quick-connect-27 archive to
~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
This should create a folder:
~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]
2. Install the updated gnome-shell packages
3. Open a terminal and run
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-manager gnome-shell-extension-manager
4. Log out
5. Log in
6. You should see a notification letting you know that there is an extension
update available.
7. Click the notification. The Extension Manager app will open.
8. At the bottom of the app is a message like:
"Updates are available. One extension will be updated on next login."
Click the Log Out button.
9. Log in.
10. Open the Extension Manager app. Click the Bluetooth Quick Connect row. It
should show the version number as greater than 27 (in my testing, the new
version was 29 but new versions can be released at any time). You can also
click the button to remove the extension if you want. Or you can turn the
extension on if you want.
