Gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet: Not working on Ubuntu 20.10

[staticdev]

I did as always did on 20.04. All commands seem to succeed, but even after a restart I don't see it in the toolbar:

Instalation steps on a fresh installation of ubuntu:

git clone https://github.com/paradoxxxzero/gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet.git
cd gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet/
make install
killall -SIGQUIT gnome-shell

Is there anything relevant in journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell?

I installed it on Pop Os 20.10 along with all the dependencies, can confirm it doesn't work

[jaantalvet]

this is my favorite system monitor, but it didn't work on my Ubuntu 20.10 system either. After it didn't work after installing either from the extensions.gnome.org site, or cmd line. I found this thread. I uninstalled it the extension, then tried again from the site but watched the logs results. Here are the log results:

Then i tried rebooting and it worked!

This solution worked and for some other people in another issue thread #567 , and turns out was right in the instructions

@jaantalvet I found an easy solution to work on 20.10:

sudo apt-get -y install gnome-shell-extension-system-monitor
killall -SIGQUIT gnome-shell  # restarts gnome
