It unzipped all the files in the directory you're in, instead of in it's own directory.
We'll update the installation instructions.
In the meantime
unzip -d wintile@nowsci.com wintile@nowsci.com.zip
Then you can copy it over
Hi, thank you so much for the help! I have a couple more questions if you don't mind. I'm still having a little bit of trouble getting wintile to install and run properly. What should the correct file structure look like within ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
? And the program GNOME Tweaks is mentioned in the ReadMe for customization. Is it a required dependency for wintile to run? I have restarted my system as well, so I don't believe that is the cause.
First, make sure that you aren't running those commands as root/sudo
Please paste the output of ls -l ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
Also, paste the output by following the updated instructions in the current develop README.md
Here is everything up to the copy:
and here is what is in gnome-shell/extensions
and gnome-shell/extensions/wintile@nowsci.com
after tthe copy:
Good. The new installation instructions worked out fine. Now follow the part about restarting your session.
As for gnome-tweaks, it isn't required. But it's easier than using https://extensions.gnome.org/local/
I have restarted my computer and I am still not able to use the extension by keyboard shortcuts or dragging. Do you have any suggestions as to something I could be missing? So sorry for the trouble.
Go here in a chrome browser and make sure the extension is enabled.
https://extensions.gnome.org/local/
If not, enable it.
If it is, turn on debugging and run this in a terminal as a normal user
journalctl -qf |grep -i -e Wintile -e 'js error'
https://extensions.gnome.org/local/
Also, are you using Wayland or Xorg?
I am using Wayland. The extension is enabled but I don't know if debugging is on correctly. I turned developer mode on for Chrome's extensions and allowed error collection. The website you linked mentions a client side browser connector. sudo apt install gnome-browser-connector
is telling me Unable to locate package gnome-browser-connector
, so is there a different name for the package I should be using? Do I even need the client side part?
Ok, I found your issue. gnome-browser-connector is only for 23.04 and after.
Older ones need to use chrome-gnome-shell
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chrome-gnome-shell
sudo apt-get install chrome-gnome-shell
Just curious if that fixed your issue. Hopefully it does.
@Medik55, just checking 1 last time.
Hello, I am trying to install this and I am getting an error after the
unzip wintile@nowsci.com.zip
step in the installation. The error is as followscp: cannot stat 'wintile@nowsci.com': No such file or directory
which leads me to believe that the file that is created and copied into the gnome extensions directory is not being created or generated properly.I have tried installing from both the master branch and develop branch and both times I got this error. I am using GNOME Shell 42.5 on Ubuntu 22.04. If there are any other details that would be helpful in solving this, please let me know.
Here is a screenshot I grabbed after building and unzipping![image](https://github.com/Fmstrat/wintile/assets/65376397/1d468de9-df6d-4c30-9f28-6b211809aa87)
