Workspacematrix has to be disabled and enabled after each reboot/ gnome-shell restart #228

Closed ghost closed 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

Description of Issue

After each reboot of the system, workspacematrix doesn't work but is displayed as active in the gnome-extensions-app. Disabling (not uninstalling!) and re-enabling fixes it and it works until the next reboot.

I reinstalled it several times and tried to find a solution in the web. Maybe only I have it.

System-specs:

Pop_OS! 22.04 with gnome 42.1

extension was installed via extensions.gnome.org

Thank you

Thank you in advance for reading. I really like this program and fixing this would make it perfect.

I am of course compliant to giving logs or anything else if needed

Please look in the logs (journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell) if there is anything connected to this extension. Is it the same issue if your reload GNOME Shell instead of rebooting (Alt+F2 and the r command on Xorg, log out and log in on Wayland)?

Thank you for the reply! I am working answering your questions. But first: Yes, after restarting the gnome shell via alt + f2 and r, wm-matrix stops working as well.

I don't know how to open the logs (I'm not power-user enough to know how). I found them, but nano doesn't do the trick

Edit: I tried cat as well

You just have to execute the command journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell in the console. It will print the logs in the less pager. There, you can type /wsmatrix and then hit Enter to search for log entries related to this extension. Hit q to close less.

Excuse my lack of knowledge, now I have it in front of me. I don't really understand what it means though. from what I can see this isn't the case (I mean: I don't think there is anything tied to wsmatrix). Might I bother you with a screenshot of the output?

That's exactly what we're looking for. Is this all of the error message?

ghost commented 2 years ago

there is this befor that, but it doesn't include the word wsmatrix. Take a look:

So yes, that is all

I think I found a solution: If you disable the "Cosmic Workspaces" extension it does work after reboot and gnome-shell-restart. If anybody else has this problem, they are welcome to confirm. This issue is now obsolete. Thanks @mzur for this wonderful extension and the immediate help on this issue! I will close the issue in one week
