Gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet: Doesn't work with GNOME Shell 3.36.0

Looks like this is coming from the following exception:
JS ERROR: Extension [email protected]: Error: Tried to construct an object without a GType; are you using GObject.registerClass() when inheriting from a GObject type?
It looks like it's stemming from checks that were introduced by gjs. There is more discussion and proposed fixes in the thread and comment linked: https://github.com/paradoxxxzero/gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet/issues/551#issuecomment-558302621

Opened a PR. Works for me on 3.36. Would appreciate feedback on 3.36 and previous versions.

Sorry, did not realize PR #564 was already open. That one works for me as well.

Is this project abandoned? Last commit was on November 2019...

@leinardi It's still quite alive AFAICT. The core developers seem to be taking their time to prioritise stability and quality over pushing out a release ASAP.

@will-ca prioritize stability and quality is not against the release of an hotfix for a critical bug that makes the plugin crash on every recent Linux distribution.

Hello.
I have updated to ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME 3.36.1 and I get the same error.
The extension does not load.
As @leinardi says, stability does not mean not releasing new versions. Ubuntu focal has been in testing for months.
Thanks and regards.

I updated to ubuntu 20.04 git GNOME 3.36.1 recently and I had the same error. The discussion on the merge request #564 mentioned issues with version 38, a quick check in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/metadata.json showed I had version 39 installed
After restarting the laptop the extension showed up. (I think restarting gnome shell would have been enough)

I can confirm, that a reboot of my Ubuntu 20.04 convinced the extension to show up.

Alt+F2 → r
And it doesn't work on Wayland

Just pitching in, adding to the confusion: latest version running on Gnome Shell 3.36.1 (Ubuntu 20.04) does not work in Xorg but on a Wayland session the applet works just fine... Very strange. Let me know if any data needed for debugging :)

hmm RavanH, have you tried the reload/reboot ?
I do have the monitors available on an X11 session:
> cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=20.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=focal
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 20.04 LTS"
> env | grep XDG_SESSION_TYPE
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
> gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.36.1
@jeantil in the default (Xorg) session I tried Ctrl+F2, r but that did not change anything. Nor did logout/in or even a full reboot.

can you make sure you have version 39+ ?
> grep '"version":' ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/metadata.json
"version": 39
note that depending on how the plugin is installed on your system the actual path could vary
jeantil
on 28 Apr 2020
Yes, it sais 39. Installed from extensions.gnome.org :)
~$ grep '"version":' ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/metadata.json
"version": 39

After upgrading and restarting gnome everything seems to work fine now.

Just to add some information for Ubuntu 20.04 newcomers like me: killall -3 gnome-shell restarted gnome-shell with system-monitor icons showing properly. I found this information here. No system restart needed. The entire procedure I used was:
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-system-monitor
gnome-extensions enable [email protected]
killall -3 gnome-shell
All good.
