Dash-to-panel: [Question] When is Gnome 40 support going to be released?

[ShrirajHegde]

I am waiting to upgrade to Fedora 34 just for dash-to-panel, any ETA? Please release beta at least (ASAP), something is better than nothing...

[YLivay]

you can install the extension from source.
i've been using it for a few weeks now and its been working great for the most part.
the only issue is this pesky one described in https://github.com/home-sweet-gnome/dash-to-panel/issues/1338, which afaik is also blocking the official release.

[ShrirajHegde]

can't it be released as a beta? because even if it's installed from source, thanks to shitty gnome-extensions-app, it auto-updates all extensions to the latest available version in https://extensions.gnome.org/

[ShrirajHegde]

I don't understand who in their right mind decided to have no option to disable auto-update on gnome-extensions-app

[wshihdehx]

@YLivay Do we have a date on when this will be released?

[koa9]

@ShrirajHegde try installing it from the source. It works fine (so far). I agree about having it released as a beta because of the stupid auto-update . I can't understand either why there is no option to disable auto-update. It makes no sense.

[wshihdehx]

@koa9 I tried that but then the auto-update puts it back to the old version causing gnome shell to crash even, I hope this gets released soon.

[ShrirajHegde]

Someone create a bug report for disabling auto-update by default for gnome-extensions-app, Can't even manage without the app because the new gnome-tweaks has no extensions tab

It's 2021 and still gnome-tweaks isn't integrated into gnome-control-center

[jderose9]

It will be released when #1333 and #1326 are resolved, and any other non-working features are removed from the settings UI. I don't have an ETA. I've personally made some headway on #1326 but it still needs some more work and I haven't had a lot of time to work on it.

If you don't care about those issues, you should be able to install currently from the master branch of this repo without having gnome-extensions-app overwrite it. You will want to follow the instructions in the wiki.

[wshihdehx]

Doesn't work on Gnome 40.1, after I install it manually the Gnome shell crashes and all UI elements disappear

"gnome-shell quit unexpectedly"

[koa9]

@wshihdehx You might have tried doing this already (but in case other people are stuck) try removing it from ~/.local.share/gnome-shell/extension/[email protected]/ and then doing a fresh installation using the wiki instructions as provided by @jderose9 .

Noted about the auto-update disaster and will try to avoid it and I am genuinely concerned about this.

[koa9]

@ShrirajHegde Just did it. See here

Unfortunately that didn't work for me, every time I install Dash To Panel on Gnome 40.1 causes the Gnome Shell to crash and the entire UI to disappear. Guess I will just use the default UI until things are more stable and next will I will wait a year before upgrading to new Fedora/Gnome releases, not worth the trouble.

That is probably the wrong repository, the name of the application is gnome-extensions-app

I installed it from the source and I've been using it for 3 days now, works fine so far. BTW, I always update extensions manually I don't even remember if there is auto update for extensions.

the problem is this time, gnome-extensions-app downgrades the extension which isn't compatible with gnome 40

politely criticizing design choice is such a crime! it's not even some entitled rant, mentioned as request and has 4 'please's
I don't understand how mentioning freedom to not update extensions is such an offensive crime.

why not break down gnome-control-center into separate apps for each tab then?

anyway, is there any other application to manage extensions? it's pointless to create issues.

EDIT: "freedom"=bad

Just use the website , but first you need to install the GNOME Shell integration extension for your browser (google it). Official wiki page.

yeah, that is installed, I install extensions via browser. I just have an irrational fear of being offline.

anyway, gnome-extensions CLI tool to the rescue (when offline)

I just installed from source and make the $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]
immutable (chattr -R +i ...) and auto-update problem is circumvented for now.

just removing gnome-extensions-app solves the problem
