Installation not possible in Fedora29

[dschier-wtd]

Hey, I am using Fedora 29 - Workstation and am getting an error during the installation of the extension. I don't know, if this may a problem with my setup (gnome-terminal is removed) or with the distro / shell version.

May you have a look in it? If something is needed from my side to debug the issue, please feel free to reach out to me.

Thanks for the awesome idea. I hope to get it running soon.

I haven't really tested without gnome-terminal installed. I'll see if I can reproduce the issue. What terminal emulator are you using?

[dschier-wtd]

I am using tilix from the official fedora repositories.

I have confirmed that overriding the default from gnome-terminal doesn't seem to work. Could you send the output of:

dconf dump /org/gnome/desktop/applications/terminal/

You also wrote that you're seeing an error during the installation of the extension, can you cut and paste this error? Thank you.

[dschier-wtd]

The path dconf dump /org/gnome/desktop/applications/ does not exist in my dconf.

dconf dump /org/gnome/desktop/
/org/gnome/desktop/a11y/              /org/gnome/desktop/notifications/
/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/       /org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/
/org/gnome/desktop/background/        /org/gnome/desktop/privacy/
/org/gnome/desktop/calendar/          /org/gnome/desktop/screensaver/
/org/gnome/desktop/datetime/          /org/gnome/desktop/search-providers/

/org/gnome/desktop/interface/         /org/gnome/desktop/wm/
/org/gnome/desktop/media-handling/    

during installation I can see the following logs:

Thank you.

There were two issues:

• The extension failed when gnome-terminal wasn't installed.
• The extension wasn't building the command line properly if another terminal emulator than gnome-shell was used.

Both issues should have been addressed. Please try this zip file: ssh-search-provider@extensions.gnome-shell.fifi.org-v3-7-g13d6d33.zip Just unzip it under ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ssh-search-provider@extensions.gnome-shell.fifi.org and overwrite the files.

If you want to use something else than gnome-terminal as terminal emulator, please follow the instructions on the home page.

And please report if the bug is fixed or not, with the relevant output of:

dconf dump /org/gnome/desktop/applications/terminal/
journalctl -b

Thank you.

With the provided fix, the extension can be enabled and presents some login possibilities.

Since the above path is not present in my installation, I am not sure where to change the terminal. I will check and open another issue, if needed. The installation seems to work for now.

Thanks a lot for having a look!

[dschier-wtd]

my fault, the path exists in dconf.

Nevertheless, the shell is not quite the same as presented by your screenshots.

You are right. That was because the extension was still relying on Gnome-Terminal to be around. It took some work to completely get rid of it. Please try this update: ssh-search-provider@extensions.gnome-shell.fifi.org-v3-24-g2ac5967.zip Just unzip it under ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ssh-search-provider@extensions.gnome-shell.fifi.org and overwrite the files.

Note that you must now configure your terminal emulator of choice in the extension preferences (Gnome Tweaks > Extensions > SSH Search Provider Reborn > Gear Icon (disregard the old instructions on the web page). Select "Tilix" as a Terminal Emulator, and the defaults should work out of the box.

[dschier-wtd]

Hey, I have tested the above code and everything is looking awesome :)

Thanks a ton for the fast help and for maintaining the extension.

I have released version 4 which fixes the problem. It's currently under review by the gnome-shell team. In meantime you can get it from the project homepage or download version 4 directly here.
