The extension won't install and run on UbuntuGNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20. The slider on the extension page just jumps back to 'Off' as soon as I try tro install it.

Hi @cdysthe,

Have you checked that the package libgtop-2.0-10 is installed?

In the Gnome desktop session press Alt + F2 and type the lg command. Now select the Extensions tab on the top right corner. Scroll down to the System Monitor entry and click on the Show Errors label. Do you see any errors there?

sudo apt install gir1.2-gtop-2.0

Please add that note to the extension install page since that package is required for Debian and Ubuntu but nothing depends on it (meaning it won't otherwise be installed) and as far as I know, there's not an easy way for an extension to automatically install dependencies like that unless the extension itself is packaged in the repositories.

@jbicha Thanks for the correct package name. :+1: I've updated the description here https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1064/system-monitor/

@cdysthe Please install the package mentioned above and check if the extension installs without an issue.

I can confirm that installing gir1.2-gtop-2.0 and then reloading GNOME with Alt + F2 and R works for me.

Thanks @HarlemSquirrel.
