[Destroy666x]

Are you going to fix this (and possibly other ES6 errors) in the near future so that this useful extension works on Ubuntu 19.04?

[askmrsinh]

Yes, I do intend to fix these (https://github.com/user501254/TouchpadIndicator/issues/35, https://github.com/user501254/TouchpadIndicator/issues/34) issues. The upstream changes provide a good opportunity for at least a partial rewrite of the extension while dropping support for older gnome-shell versions. I also want to adopt some good practices like linting and setting up build configuration for the project. I haven't yet started making the changes but hope to do so in the coming month.

~Until then, you can use the unstable-3.32 branch if you wish to.~ (these issues have been fixed, please use the master branch)

[askmrsinh]

@Destroy666x Please check if the current master works for you. Let me know in case of any issues.

[mauriziopinotti]

@user501254 I can confirm the latest code works on gnome-shell 3.32.

[askmrsinh]

@mauriziopinotti Thanks! There are still a couple of things that are stopping me from uploading the new version on the GNOME Shell Extensions website (eg: extension will crash if there are no detectable input devices). Once I have them sorted out, I will update with a new release.

I'm totally new with gnome, so I don't know if I did something wrong, however I receive an error with the git version:

The settings of extension touchpad-indicator@orangeshirt had an error:

TypeError: comp[1] is undefined

@Totoro83 Can you please tell me the branch you are currently using? (it must be the master branch and not unstable-3.32). If you are already on the master branch, please share the output for the below commands:

1. xinput --list
2. egrep -i 'synap|alps|etps|elan' /proc/bus/input/devices

[askmrsinh]

Fixed under v33.
