"Error loading extension" error in Ubuntu 17.10 64 bit #77

I have installed Gnomenu in Ubuntu 17.10 64 bit. But i am not able to enable it. I could see an error message "Error loading extension"

That's not much to go on. Can you check the output of journalctl for errors related to gnomenu and let us know what you find?

@contactvinoth89 @passingthru67 The main problem is that Ubuntu 17.10 ships IMHO a broken GNOME desktop. In brief, I guess the problem is that the gir1.2-gmenu-3.0 dependency is missing in Ubuntu 17.10. Moreover, the gnome-session must be used instead of the ubuntu-session.

So, installing gir1.2-gmenu-3.0 could probably fix the issue:

apt install  gir1.2-gmenu-3.0

Edit: I post this launchpad link here just for documentation purposes as it is related to the issue that menu extensions don't work on a vanilla Ubuntu 17.10.

Gnome shell menu extensions won't install on 17.10: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/1711768

Installing gir1.2-gmenu-3.0 solved my problem. I guess what @lexruee said about Ubuntu 17.10 Gnome is correct. It has loads of bugs. Even my mouse movement is not consistent. Thanks for helping out.
