[Bug 1846871] Re: Desktop Icons NG shell extension breaks Activities vew
The Problem is independent from the NG extension. I disabled the Ubuntu Desktop Icons extension by moving it away from /usr/share/gnome- shell/extension because i use nemo-desktop. After that the activity view is broken as described above. I use nemo-desktop the last 4 years together with gnome-shell and had no problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1846871 Title: Desktop Icons NG shell extension breaks Activities vew To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1846871/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1846871] Re: Desktop Icons NG shell extension breaks Activities vew
The extension ID is supposed to be unique. It is a serious bug if NG is using the same extension ID as an existing extension. I imagine the maintainers of extensions.gnome.org would remove an extension for that issue if it was reported. Until that bug is fixed, I don't think Ubuntu has any responsibility to attempt to block the broken extension. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1846871 Title: Desktop Icons NG shell extension breaks Activities vew To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1846871/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1846871] Re: Desktop Icons NG shell extension breaks Activities vew
Extensions are released for everyone, not specifically for Ubuntu, so not the extension developer's responsibility to check, which distros would work. Quote https://extensions.gnome.org/about/ "All extensions uploaded to this site are carefully reviewed for malicious behavior before they are made available for download." As users are normal people, they'd try out any extension out there, and Ubuntu 19.10 would fail. Any extension downloaded from https://extensions.gnome.org/about/ would install it in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions and would override the system extension, user comes first. Both extensions are from the same author, whatever the name of the extension (for example, desktop-icons@csoriano). If we take the system Desktop Icons extension, it cannot be blocked from any future development by the author/maintainer. What we call Desktop Icons system extension is static, as it is, while the maintainer had upgraded it few days ago. The bug is here in Ubuntu Eoan, not with the extension. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1846871 Title: Desktop Icons NG shell extension breaks Activities vew To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1846871/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Maybe there's a way to workaround it on the Ubuntu side, but I think the greater responsibility is on the NG developer side.

It seems to work fine on Ubuntu using GNOME vanilla session. I don't know if it has been reported already to Carlos (I didn't know he was the maintainer), but I wonder if it's possible to fix the status of Desktop Icon on Ubuntu, since it doesn't seem to be possible to disable it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1846871 Title: Desktop Icons NG shell extension breaks Activities vew To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1846871/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You can find the Ubuntu Desktop Icons System Extension here; https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/ShellExtensions/desktop-icons and here; https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1465/desktop-icons/ Both links install the same desktop-icons@csoriano The NG extension allows drag and drop, but won't work in Ubuntu, default session or vanilla session. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1846871 Title: Desktop Icons NG shell extension breaks Activities vew To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1846871/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

On GNOME vanilla session, enabling both extensions it shows a different behavior.

[Bug 1846871] Re: Desktop Icons NG shell extension breaks Activities vew
It affects both Ubuntu session and vanilla Gnome session. In Arch Linux, there's only a vanilla Gnome session, and it works there. This NG extension is been there for few months. The NG developer is the same person that maintains the UBuntu Desktop Icons system extension. His extension is named desktop-icons@csoriano, so probably cannot become.stay as a system extension. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1846871 Title: Desktop Icons NG shell extension breaks Activities vew To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1846871/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1846871] Re: Desktop Icons NG shell extension breaks Activities vew
Does this bug affect the vanilla GNOME session or only the Ubuntu session? If it only affects the Ubuntu session, it is probably just a compatibility problem between Ubuntu's desktop icons extension and the "NG" extension. Since the "NG" extension is newer, I think it's appropriate for the "NG" extension to not break systems where the official desktop icons extension is already installed.
