[Bug 1875038] Re: Lock screen not really functioning - Gnome Shell extensions visible and active even in lock screen

2020-04-28 Thread Daniel van Vugt
I know getting bugs fixed or even recognised as bugs can be very time
consuming and frustrating.

In the case of gnome-shell extensions we only have the choice between:

  * Allow extensions, and allow them to do anything including breaking
the shell; or

  * Disallow extensions.

A more restricted middleground for extensions does not exist and is
unlikely to ever exist because it would be such a large long term
change.

2020-04-28 Thread florin
I have had this discussion with Gnome Shell developers when I first saw
the bug, some versions behind, they see it as a feature, not as a bug.
It is like fighting the wind over there. In the real world, where people
expect computers and OS's to do what they say they do, a lock screen is
supposed to lock access. Whatever else is running behind, access should
be restricted, otherwise, it is worthless as a secure OS and lock
screen. I know this should be on Gnome Shell developers, but as Ubuntu
joined the boat using it, it becomes a problem for Ubuntu, too. I am
tired of posting bugs on Gnome bugzilla because it is difficult, close
to impossible to fight them (a lost fight was there to add back file
sorting by extension in search, for instance).

In theory you're right. In practice, gnome-shell gives extensions free
rein to do whatever they want, including painting over whatever they
like. gnome-shell can't enforce anything.

It just sounds like a bug in the extensions so you need a newer version
of the extension that properly supports gnome-shell 3.36.

I know, but does that matter? Lock screen should be over every piece of
soft, "locking" the access to computer unless you insert the password.

Thanks for the bug report.

You appear to be using 'dash-to-dock' which is not part of Ubuntu so we
can't support that here.

Please instead report the bug to the developers of your extension at:
https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock/issues

** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)
   Status: New => Invalid
