Extension not enabled after install (in gnome 3.38)

[WuerfelDev]

I don't know if it's just me, but running a command looks like this:

$ gnome-shell-extension-installer 3518
[3518] Obtaining extension info
[Transparent Shell] Downloading extension
[Transparent Shell] Extracting extension
Extension “[email protected]” does not exist

The last line comes from gnome-extensions enable [email protected]. I noticed that the shell needs to be restarted before running the command. That means the extension disabled until the shell is restarted and this command is run manually.

Maybe it is possible to add the extension to settings get org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions instead of the gnome-extensions command ?

Yeah, that's what I was doing before.

Unfortunately, I'm not running GNOME Shell anymore, so this project is probably going unmaintained soon.

Just add chmod -R 755 /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions and restart gnome-shell... This fixes the issue for global installs.
