Cannot enable extension after update #855

Closed eliorc closed 4 months ago

eliorc commented 4 months ago

Describe the bug I've installed the PaperWM extension through extensions.gnome.org and everything went well. Then I got prompted to log out and in to get an update. After I clicked the prompt and re-logged, I cannot enable the extension.

I tried to remove the extension and reinstall it, same problem.

Also, through the command line, I tried enabling.

hmmm. Can you try a manual uninstall, login and then try reinstall? E.g.

rm -rf ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/paperwm@paperwm.github.com

Logout, login, and then reinstall via extensions.gnome.org.

Just did a clean install of PaperWM via gnome.extensions.org. Can't reproduce.

Anyone else seeing this?

jtaala commented 4 months ago

Have you recently (or before) installed the source code version? Sometimes it can get confused and usually requires deleting the source code version installed symlink.

Anyways, let me know how you go.

Now I haven't it's a fresh Ubuntu install, I'm going to try what you mentioned with the manual reinstallation

@jtaala didn't work

jtaala commented 4 months ago

hmmm. Can you paste the output of.

Okay, let's manually remove again:

rm -rf ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/paperwm@paperwm.github.com

after that, can you paste the out of:

ls ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

Just need to make sure it's clear.

On a sidenote, it looks like you can't enable any extension from your extension UI screenshot you put up?

True that. Seems like something locked the ability to enable extensions. In /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/extensions-mandatory the value of enabling extensiosn was locked. After I removed it everything works okay. I guess this is not a result of anything related to PaperWM.

Thanks for the replies anyhow :)
