LMDE 5, trouble finding it #2

Closed Nam-Ram closed 1 year ago

Nam-Ram commented 1 year ago

This is really cool! Probably user error (linux newbie but learning), but there were enough inconsistencies with the instructions and my distro (LMDE - Debian based Mint) in case anyone else is struggling. Doesn't seem to be listed under installed applications, or available as an applet, or a Desklet.

Place the chatgpt-gnome-desktop@chat-gpt-gnome-desktop folder in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

I do not have that destination folder, I put it in /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions instead

I did restart Gnome a few times

I'm running x11, but Gnome Shell 3.38.6

When trying to run sudo apt install libgtk-4-dev I get Unable to locate package - seems like updating to 42 would be a major change that I'm not in a place to do, but not sure if that would stop it from showing up somewhere.

Thanks!

Do not touch usr/share/...

Make sure you have gnome-extensions installed. You can enable the extension in the gnome-extensions app.

Once installed, put the chatgpt-gnome-desktop@chat-gpt-gnome-desktop folder in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

Then restart Gnome Desktop Enviorment or Log out and log back in

@Nam-Ram Are you even using the Gnome DE?

Hmm, I'm not sure.

$ echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP returns X-Cinnamon, which seems to be a fork of Gnome3.

X-Cinnamon != Gnome.

I have not tested how the extension works on forks of Gnome. In the extensions early development stage, Gnome 42 is used with focus on bringing compatibility to Gnome 43.
