Gnome 3.16 compatibility #154

Closed Amxx closed 9 years ago

Amxx commented 9 years ago

Please update to provide compatibility with gnome 3.16. I fell lost without tileable windows

wiegraffolles commented 9 years ago

Agreed! This should be a core functionality of GNOME Shell it's so useful...Ignoring the version with:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation true

No longer works for me in 3.16 either...

timbertson commented 9 years ago

Yup, this was fixed a week ago thanks to @spacepluk (I don't run 3.16 yet myself). I was holding off a release to try and address #149 but I've made a release without those changes for now.

wiegraffolles commented 9 years ago

Do we have to use the Zero installer to get it?

timbertson commented 9 years ago

Until the new version is approved, yes. Alternatively, you can git clone & install it locally (instructions in the README). You'll want to install the 3.16 branch, rather than master.

wiegraffolles commented 9 years ago

Thanks! 0 is in a really bad state on Arch atm, so I will use the manual method for now.

For future googles: you also need to install typescript and node may be installed by nodejs by your distribution

the following worked for me:

ln -s  /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
npm install -g typescript
timbertson commented 9 years ago

@jancr I'm surprised at both of those steps. The readme says you need npm and python, everything else should be taken care of by the build scripts. If you need the ln hack, your distro's nodejs / npm may be busted (what distro?). And I'm pretty sure npm install -g typescript isn't useful, since the build scripts install and use typescript in the local ./node_modules folder.

spacepluk commented 9 years ago

That's probably a debian-based distro. On debian I used to compile node from source because the official package is so broken and old :(

If you're on ubuntu there might be a PPA you can use with a more vanilla nodejs package.

jancr commented 9 years ago

Yest @spacepluk I am using debian 9, where node is installed as nodejs

nodejs --version
v0.10.38

which is the default stretch version (https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=nodejs), thus debian testing is a major version or two behind :).

@gfxmonk I will admit that installing typescript may not be necessary... as I am not a javascript developer I spend 2 hours of desperation trying out different stuff, and when I did the above 2 things it finally worked... I did not uninstall your addon and npm and try to see if it would work with only the symlink hack... (if if finally ain't broken, dont fix it :))
