briner commented 10 years ago

Hello,

I would love to have this extension on my shell.

I'm actually using debian, testing which ships gnome-shell 3.8.

I've try to insall it through: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/565/gajim-im-integration/

with no success

I do not know whut to tell you more than:

it is not working.

What can I do to enable this software.

cED P.-S. What is strange is that the site: https://extensions.gnome.org/ does not show you plugin if I seach for the word "gajim"

Hi!

The version on extensions.g.o is outdated, a new version has been waiting in the review queue for months but no one seems to care enough about this to review it...

So, I advise you to install the extension manually by copying the directory to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions, then restart the shell and enable the extension with the tweak tool.

I can confirm it works on Debian with GNOME 3.8 and 3.10.

arh :[ this is still not working.

the steps, that I've done:

cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
git clone https://github.com/philn/gnome-shell-gajim-extension
logout and login
nothing appeared in my tweak tool.

Is there somewhere a log file, that I could parse.

I've also done a ALT+F2, lg,and I do not see a gnome-shell-gajim-extension

Any hint.

Regards.

The checkout directory should be named gajim@base-art.net

arrrh

GLib.FileError: L'ouverture du fichier « /home/briner/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/gajim@base-art.net/schemas/gschemas.compiled » a échoué : échec de open() : Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

my translation: GLib.FileError: Opening of the file « /home/briner/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/gajim@base-art.net/schemas/gschemas.compiled » has failed: fail of open() : No files or directory of this type

the only file i get there is : ls gajim@base-art.net/schemas/ org.gnome.shell.extensions.gajim.gschema.xml

philn commented 10 years ago

Oh sorry I forgot to mention the glib schemas should be compiled.

Go in gajim@base-art.net directory
Run: glib-compile-schemas schemas

Then restart the shell

briner commented 10 years ago

youhou :)

thanks it finally works:

So to resume, this what I've done to enable it.

cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
git clone https://github.com/philn/gnome-shell-gajim-extension gajim@base-art.net
cd gajim@base-art.net
glib-compile-schemas schemas
logout / login (maybe "ALT+F2, r" works also)
