Updated to newest version out today supporting gnome 44 and still isn't working

[clabbin]

I'm on a fresh install of Fedora 38 an have today's Improved OSK update supporting gnome 44 installed and the extension refuses to work no matter what I try with any of the extension settings or system settings. Any ideas?

Check if the system has disabled all user extensions. There's a toggle that does that at https://extensions.gnome.org/local/, or you can run gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-user-extensions false in the terminal to enable everything again. Also, I know how it sounds, but try logging out and back into the system after you've installed/enabled the extension and see if it works after that.

If those 2 things made no difference, some follow-up questions:

• Can you see the extension icon in the taskbar?
• Are you using one of the supported language layouts (see here)? If not, let me know which language you're using, and I'll add it.
• Does it show in the list of extensions when you run gnome-extensions list in the terminal?
• Does journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f -o cat show any errors?
• Can you see any errors in Looking Glass? (Press Alt + F2, enter lg, switch to "extensions" tab and click "show errors" for Improved OSK extension).
• How did you install the extension?

Yeah just using english as the language. I can see the icon in taskbar but it just pops up the regular gnome keyboard and typing doesn't work in anything but gnome apps as usual. I installed it using Extension Manager. Didn't see any errors in Looking Glass.

Here's what terminal spits out: gnome-extensions list apps-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com background-logo@fedorahosted.org launch-new-instance@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com places-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com window-list@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com improvedosk@nick-shmyrev.dev [surstu@surfedora ~]$ journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f -o cat == Stack trace for context 0x558eae8ba340 ==

After enabling the extension, try logging out of the system, then logging back in to restart the Gnome Shell. Doing a full reboot also works. I should also mention that I've enabled the "Screen Keyboard" in Accessibility Settings to get the keyboard to show up on a system without a touchscreen, but since you're already seeing the default OSK, this shouldn't be the issue.

I've tested it in Fedora 38 (both live env., and a full install) with version 15 of this extension, and installed from extensions.gnome.org. It worked fine:

I don't know what I did or maybe didn't do to fix it but I had already tried all of that (logging in and out, restarting) stuff yesterday and when I turned my computer back on this morning to mess with it, it's just working.... Well in any case, I really appreciate you taking the time to help figure it out and definitely appreciate you maintaining this project!! :)
