home-sweet-gnome / dash-to-panel

An icon taskbar for the Gnome Shell. This extension moves the dash into the gnome main panel so that the application launchers and system tray are combined into a single panel, similar to that found in KDE Plasma and Windows 7+. A separate dock is no longer needed for easy access to running and favorited applications.

panelManager is null #2201

Describe the bug

Occurs under X11 and Wayland

I have the panel at the bottom of the screen. I can "fix" the error by moving the panel to the top and then back to the bottom. That seems to reset it. However the error remains in the extensions list.

Even if I manage to recover from the error, it returns after reboot or sleep.

Error:

TypeError: panelManager is null

Linux distribution and version Ubuntu 24.04

GNOME Shell version 46.0

Dash-to-Panel version 64

Where was Dash-to-Panel installed from? GNOME extensions website

As already mentioned in the linked issue, it seems multi-monitor is a factor in this problem. Also, the "fix" I mentioned above doesn't always work.

The only foolproof solution is to restart; then it works perfectly until the first time I suspend. Not a workable solution of course.

Let me know if I can do any diagnostic testing, to help find the error...
