[Touch-packages] [Bug 1832407] Re: Ubuntu's gnome-shell extensions can't be uninstalled (safely)

2022-01-03 Thread Daniel van Vugt
I agree this should be fixed, but it's also not a priority. You can
disable them in the Extensions app (sudo apt install gnome-shell-
extension-prefs).

** Description changed:

  I like the Ubuntu themed GNOME desktop but I don't like dash-to-dock.
- As the preinstalled extensions, especially gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock 
are not deactivable and not removable atomic (they are hard dependcies of 
ubuntu-desktop), the only way to remove them is to rename the extensions 
folder. This will also restore the dock with every update of the 
gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package, as it creates this folder.
+ As the pre-installed extensions, especially gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock 
are not atomically removable (they are hard dependencies of ubuntu-desktop), 
the only way to remove them is to rename the extensions folder. This will also 
restore the dock with every update of the gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock 
package, as it creates this folder.
  
- Therfore, we should remove the hard dependcies.
+ Therefore, we should remove the hard dependencies.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1832407] Re: Ubuntu's gnome-shell extensions can't be uninstalled (safely)

2022-01-02 Thread Amr Ibrahim
Please move

- gnome-shell-extension-appindicator,
- gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng,
- gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock

from depends to recommends in ubuntu-desktop-minimal and ubuntu-desktop.

Those extensions are not a must for gnome-shell to function, and
recommends is sufficient to be installed by default.
