Dash-to-dock: Not work at ArchLinux 3.35.91

[cathaysia]

Hi !
Thanks for your work at dash to dock! My archlinux bring a lot of software update today. And my Gnome Shell update to 3.35.91, it cause many plug-in can't work. dash to dock is one of them.

Dash to dock can't bring any new thing after I installed, there is a big "ERROR" at https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/307/dash-to-dock/ after I installed.

Well， the result gnome-shell --version is "GNOME Shell 3.36.0", but the version of setting show is 3.35.91……

Use git version if you updated to 3.36 (get it from tmp/gnome-3.36 branch, but expect some issues like #1113)

OK. Thanks for your reply

Another option is to downgrade gnome to 3.34.4, I used that archived repo:

Server = https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2020/03/06/$repo/os/$arch

and then pacman -Syyuu

Not a good option for regular Arch Linux users. Anyway this issue is a duplicate of #1084, can be solved using #1097:

I hope devs will sort this asap. Of all big extensions I tried, this is the only one that still doesn't offer 3.36 support, yet it's the only one that totally fits my usage. Duh!

GNOME 3.36 is going to be released March 11 and I like your extension very much and hope it can be updated to include support for GNOME 3.36. Keep up the great work!

Can you explain me how to get it from "tmp/gnome-3.36" ?
Thanks..

@MasterB0t steps to install from the source

First remove the extension folder in .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]

In the Terminal, run the follwing commands:

cd /tmp
git clone -b tmp/gnome-3.36 https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock.git
cd dash-to-dock
make
make install

Reload the Shell with Alt + F2, enter the letter r and hit Enter key

For what it's worth, I just used the tmp option above and I don't have the layout issue. Maybe it has been addressed?

[luca-viggiani]

In my case it shows misplaced in GS 3.36, Wayland and HiDPI screen (tmp/gnome-3.36 branch)

[mathieu-lemay]

Most problems seem to be fixed now in the gnome-3-36 branch.

If it's working, why this extension isn't official already? I'm sure even with slight misalignment, people would still be satisfied and get the job done.

So far I've been using Floating Dock extension. It's very nice but some features like auto-hide is missing, there's always one big blue dot on the screen. But overall, I'd switch easily to it if it had auto-hide working.
