[Bug] Failed to load metadata.json 'Permission Denied' #37

Closed rockycruz closed 2 years ago

rockycruz commented 2 years ago

I tried to install the extension on /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions but I'm having this error message when I checked 'journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell'

gnome-shell version: 3.32

Tried extension version Shell: 3.32 Extension: 30

This isn't an issue with this extension, it's just how gnome and linux permissions work @rockycruz

User extensions aren't designed to be installed in /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions they should be in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions

I'd suggest you install it from the extensions website or to your local directory.

If you really want to run it from the global extensions directory you will need to use chmod to give the correct permissions for the directory and files.

Understood. I was able to install it to /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions and got this new error.
