shellshape doesn't automatically enable itself #65

Closed roteiro closed 12 years ago

Since i really liked bluetile together with Gnome 2, i would love to use shellshape with gnome-shell under my freshly installed Ubuntu 12.04 daily build. Unfortunately, i can't get it to work.

According to the package manager, i installed gnome-shell version 3.4.0. Following the Readme, i simply executed 

0launch --not-before=0.4-pre shellshape-local.xml --replace

after cloning the master branch and switching to the shellshape directory. I then got a bunch of errors and messages in the terminal and shellshape does not seem to work:

Note: appending shellshape to the list of enabled plugins automatically
    JS ERROR: !!!   Exception was: Error: Requiring GTop, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'GTop' (any version) not found

I am not sure, whether these errors have something to do with shellshape, however, i eliminated most of them by installing

gir1.2-gtop-2.0 2.28.4-2

Now, running 

0launch -c --not-before=0.4-pre shellshape-local.xml --replace

gives me the following

with shellshape still not working. Am i missing something? I am thankful for any hint. If you need additional information, just let me know.

gtop isn't related to shellshape, sounds like it's needed for another extensions you have installed.

So I don't know why it's not working, can you please check:

Thank you, shellshape is starting now. As you said, i had to activate it in gnome-tweak-tool, i somehow thought, it would start up automatically after the initial command.

timbertson commented 12 years ago

It is supposed to, but it looks like that part still isn't working quite right :/

timbertson commented 12 years ago

going to close this, and just document that people should enable shellshape themselves once installed.
