After updating to Gnome 3.38.6, dash to dock is not working and in the settings, I see the following error message:

The settings of extension dash-to-dock@micxgx.gmail.com had an error:

daniel-hartmann commented 3 years ago

There's this list of things it must be made to port to gnome shell 40: https://gjs.guide/extensions/upgrading/gnome-shell-40.html#contents

This diff make the extension work again, but still with errors:

I was having this issue on my kali linux 2021.3. I tried @daniel-hartmann solution but when I ran "make" I got the error shown below.

**

glib-compile-schemas ./schemas/ msgfmt -c po/ar.po -o po/ar.mo make: msgfmt: No such file or directory make: *** [Makefile:54: po/ar.mo] Error 127

**

After a lot of googling I managed to find another solution:

First install the "GNOME shell integration" to your chrome browser. Once installed click on the "GNOME shell integration" extension in chrome. It should take you to "extensions.gnome.org" Once there search for "dash-to-dock" extension by michelle_g Click on it and install the extension to your computer When its done installing, the favorites bar should appear. To verify that the extension has been installed go to the extensions application on your OS and under manually installed you should find the newly installed Dash to Dock extension.
