How to use this project #1

Open SJFCS opened 2 months ago

SJFCS commented 2 months ago

Thank you for creating this great project. How should I use it? I cloned this project locally and it failed to take effect after enabling it according to the readme. Could you please add that the readme manual provides detailed usage guidelines?

Also, is there any intention to push it to aur?

I had trouble getting the extension running as gdm as well. What's in the Readme worked for me on Ubuntu 24.04. Did it work with the unlock-dialog? Maybe your version on gnome-shell is not compatible with the extension?

Thank you for your reply. It may not be compatible. I use archlinux gnome47.

I've just checked the Readme again, and there was an error (the install path is /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/).

If you're running Wayland, you can launch a nested session and try if the lock-screen behavior works:

env MUTTER_DEBUG_NUM_DUMMY_MONITORS=2 MUTTER_DEBUG_DUMMY_MODE_SPECS=1440x768 dbus-run-session -- gnome-shell --nested --wayland

The gdm-login-style extension has this command to enable the extension

sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-extensions enable multi-monitor-login@derflocki.github.com

Prompt that it is incompatible with gnome 47 version. Here are my steps：

git clone https://github.com/derflocki/multi-monitor-login.git
sudo mv multi-monitor-login/ /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/multi-monitor-login@derflocki.github.com
gnome-extensions enable  multi-monitor-login@derflocki.github.com
