Dash-to-panel: cant start programs nor leave the activity page

[JerryPenguin]

Things to do first

• Confirm that the problem persists when Dash-to-Panel is the only enabled extension. To do so, disable every other extension, then restart gnome-shell by running the r command from the prompt that appears when pressing Alt+F2 on an X.org session, or by logging out/in on a Wayland session.

done

• Look for Dash-to-Panel errors in your log. To do so, run the journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f -o cat & command and reproduce the problem.

Go and check @VitalyOstanin comment here: https://github.com/home-sweet-gnome/dash-to-panel/issues/1132#issuecomment-673689980

What I did:

• Ctrl + F5
• cd .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
• mv [email protected] [email protected]_old
• Ctrl + F1

This will "disable" the extension.

This is affecting me too. Started after updating the system (Ubuntu 20.04)
@PJFonseca Thanks for the tip. Installing from extensions.gnome.org instead worked!

For Fedora 32, extensions.gnome.org already is the primary way to obtain this extension, as there is no package in the DNF repos. Can confirm that the latest version, installed manually from extensions.gnome.org, does not work with F32 and GNOME Shell 3.36.4.

Can confirm that. Did it right now...still fails.

Please search existing issues before opening new ones and install the latest master from Github until the next version is released on e.g.o. Thanks!

[PeteS4]

@charlesg99 Correct me if I'm wrong, but the latest release on Github is v38, which is the same version available on e.g.o. I installed the Github release anyway, but it's still broken on Fedora 32/Gnome 3.36.4.

This is not quite correct, with git clone the release package is not installed, but the current repo is synchronized and installed with make install. You can also see from the timestamps that changes were made in the repo after the release of v38.

In my case the uninstallation and reinstallation directly from the GIT (not the release, but via git clone and make install) worked.

many thanks @charlesg99

and many greetings

This is what I like on comments. You just made me learn about make files and how to fix the issue. Thanks for that.

@JerryPenguin Thanks, I was misled by the mention of a fix for 3.36.4 in the release notes of v38. Now it's working perfectly again!
