It's 3.30, the extension doesn't work in 3.31 any more. I'm a sad panda now.
Good. 3.30 is the one in my distro. I updated your README.st (PR #303). Please act as like you feel. (And don't forget to update https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/425/project-hamster-extension/ as well.)
So this question is settled, and my initial request becomes: Why does it not work on my system. ;-)
What can I do to debug the situation? I can launch hamster
on my system and see the corresponding window, but nothing like
Should a text like "Hamster 02:52" appear in the top bar?
Still true for 3.32 / Fedora 30 today. Nothing is displayed at all.
May be a duplicate of #315.
@DirkHoffmann https://github.com/mwilck/hamster-shell-extension should work on 3.34.

Thank you, @gregorydk. But this is about 3.32. However, @mwilck's GNOME-3.32 branch worked fine for me. I can live with it.
The problem is that the standard distribution path (for gnome-shell extensions) is broken, this repository is not up to date (since April 2019) and manual installation bears a number of pitfalls (the README is wrong as of today). That's why I leave this issue open.
@DirkHoffmann I thought you'd already be running Fedora 31. ;-)
@DirkHoffmann
manual installation bears a number of pitfalls (the README is wrong as of today).
Care to elaborate ? At least two of us have trouble installing the extension from sources.
The extension does not show up anywhere on screen on lubuntu-19.04, even after doing
> gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.32.2
git clone https://github.com/mwilck/hamster-shell-extension.git
# GNOME-3.34 was not better
git checkout GNOME-3.32
make dist
rm -rf ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/contact@projecthamster.org
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/contact@projecthamster.org
tar -C ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/contact@projecthamster.org \
-xvf dist/contact@projecthamster.org.tgz
# reload shell (on xorg; on wayland one needs to logout/login): ALT+F2, r, Enter
> sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool
Unpacking gnome-tweaks (3.32.0-1)
> gnome-tweaks
The extension is listed, checked (blue) at the first tentative,
but closing and reopening gnome-tweaks
:
Works for me in Gnome 3.34 : https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster/issues/433#issuecomment-591952169
Possible diagnostics :
sudo journalctl -fel /usr/bin/gnome-shell
and sudo apt install gnome-shell-extensions
helped; now the hamster-shell-extension has no error.
It is checked in the gnome-tweaks
, and there are no errors in the Gnome Looking Glass
(thanks for the tips !)
sudo journalctl -fel /usr/bin/gnome-shell
showed errors prior to the gnome-shell-extensions
installation. But now there is only:
févr. 27 17:43:30 lubuntu-1904-vb gnome-shell[677]: GNOME Shell started at Thu Feb 27 2020 17:43:29 GMT+0100 (CET)
févr. 27 17:43:38 lubuntu-1904-vb org.gnome.Shell.desktop[677]: Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x2e00007
But nothing shows up. It should be at the top, right ?
All the above is correct. I have no better recipe than the one above.
For the time being, four people were found to pick up the orphaned repository hamster-shell-extension. Please give us a couple more days to integrate the good work by @mwilck into the main repository and start from solid grounds again. Individual care would be counterproductive at present, I am afraid. Sorry!
Picking this up from the other ticket for memory:

Could you provide some more info, e.g.
journalctl --user -b
output, from running the 3.34 code in under 3.32?
and
@DirkHoffmann, could you try if reverting 69af56af fixes the issue on GNOME 3.32?

The commit ID to be reverted would now be 85d09e2, as I've re-posted PR #316 with new commit IDs (signed commits).
@DirkHoffmann, IIUC this is fixed? Please confirm and close.
Yes, there were many duplicate and redundant issues for gnome-shell > 3.28, and we lost slightly track. I do not the check the relationships and history exactly. But as this was oriniginally reported by me, I take the freedom to close it (satisfied).
I am glad to see that there are error reports (at least one: #295) concerning gnome-shell 3.30, and they are accepted.
Are the statements that 3.26 is the latest or 3.28 as in the README then obsolete? (I can provide a PR for the latter, but not the former, if you confirm.)
