Doesn't work on Fedora 41

[BruceWayne-Linux]

Hi. First of all, thanks a lot for reviving this extension. It's really a huge plus for customizing gnome.

I'm on Fedora 41, upgraded from beta to stable yesterday. I came to know about the extension day before yesterday and installed it that day. The colors were not applying properly but if i check with pywal(from terminal) the color schemes are correct, but the extension is not picking it on fedora. Yesterday, I installed the same extension and tried it on arch(endeavouros). It worked flawlessly. Here are some screenshots of the coloring in fedora and arch for the same wallpapers:

I think this issue is not specific to just Fedora 41 but rather Fedora in general. I came across this issue while i was looking for a fix: https://github.com/avanisubbiah/material-you-theme/issues/71 Could be related.

Have you tried using the python backend in Fedora?

[BruceWayne-Linux]

yea, but that totally removes the material you colors and gives the default gnome theme.

[FrancescoCaracciolo]

Try installing the sass package on Fedora and running the python backend

[FrancescoCaracciolo]

Also, if you still have issue with python backend, go into ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/material-you-colors@francescocaracciolo.github.io/adwaita-materialu, run ./run_integration.sh and send the output here

Okay. Installed sass from npm and also R-sass(from fedora offical repositories). Didn't work. still it's using default gnome theme.

Also, if you still have issue with python backend, go into ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/material-you-colors@francescocaracciolo.github.io/adwaita-materialu, run ./run_integration.sh and send the output here

It's giving a error.

Also, while i was turning off and on the extension after logout, this error came. It's not happening always but came 2 or 3 time now. Could this be a cause for the malfunction of the extension? (turned off the python backend here)

It's giving a error.

For now let's solve this issue. Try running ./local-install.sh in the same folder and then try running that command again

Just ran the things you said in the above comments on arch linux. No errors whatsoever. Python backend seems to be the issue. With it disabled, even on arch, the colors are loading wrongly like on fedora.

[FrancescoCaracciolo]

Ti fix the python issue above try removing pygoobject from requirements.txt and run it again, maybe il will work

[BruceWayne-Linux]

Mmm. Not sure what made it work but i tried installing materialyoucolor manually, since when i ran local-install.sh it kept showing errors. so installed python3-devel package from fedora repository and then it got installed. (Without python3-devel on fedora, materialyoucolor won't install; it gives a g++ error). then removed pygobject from the requirements.txt. It's working now.
