the same to you ,who can help us?

[sgtnasty]

I just tried to run it today to see if it works.

Extension "[email protected]" had error: Error: Type name Gjs_DashToDock_MyDashActor is already registered
I turned off "Ubuntu dock" extension in Gnome Tweaks before I installed it.

• Ubuntu 19.04
• 5.0.0-20-generic

Did you mean "...Ubuntu 19.10 code named _Eoan Ermine_?"

If so, I just tried the daily build of Ubuntu 19.10.
I downloaded Dash to Dock from extensions.gnome.org and installed under /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions.

Gnome Tweaks is complaining "Error loading extension".
I see two different errors in my logs:

1. Extension "[email protected]" had error: TypeError: dockManager is undefined
2. Extension "[email protected]" had error: Error: GrabHelper owner must be a Clutter.Actor

Here is some info about the Ubuntu build I tested...

gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.33.91

dpkg -l libgtk-3-0
libgtk-3-0:amd64 3.24.11-1ubuntu1

```

+1: I have the same issue in Eoan (gnome-shell 33.33.9) with dash-to-dock from latest git:

Extension "[email protected]" had error: Error: GrabHelper owner must be a Clutter.Actor

It'd sure be nice if gnome-shell gave more any information whatsoever about the file and line where the error occurred!

still not working

The version from GitHub works on 19.10. Just follow the instructions.

Not working for me too...

@skonsoft: There is a version at https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/307/dash-to-dock/ for gnome-shell 3.34 that works for me in Ubuntu 19.10 - maybe you need to upgrade or reinstall?

This works for me. Just reinstall the extension and press Alt+2 -> r and wolah! It worked.

@akash6019 Try uninstalling this package: gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock before install dash-to-dock

sudo apt remove gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock

I had the same problem in 19.10 and the solutions above did'nt work for me, because I installed version 66 of the extension into ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected] directly from git (long time ago). This seems so overrule the deb package (V67-1) installed in /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected].
So I ran:

sudo apt remove gnome-shell-extension-dashtodock
rm -r ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-dashtodock
Alt+F2 -> r

Now it works again...

This seems so overrule the deb package ... installed in /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions

I believe this is intended behavior, so the user can override default extensions by setting and configuring them locally.

Thanks bolek2000, it worked
