Enabling extensions

Open ai-mind opened this issue 3 months ago • 3 comments 

gnome-extensions-cli -F install SOMEEXTENSION
gnome-extensions-cli enable SOMEEXTENSION

Do I still need to reload gnome session between install and enable steps? I tried to run these commands and reboot AFTER but it didn't work, the extension was not enabled.

Installing an extension will automatically enable it, especially if you are using the dbus backed.

Do you have the gnome confirmation dialog when you install your extension? If yes, then you are using the dbus backend and the extension will be enabled afterward.

But if the extension is not enabled after the install, maybe there is an issue with the extension itself. Could you provide some details? What is your Linux distribution? Version? Extensions you try to install?

I wanted to make a script without GUI. So if my understanding is correct I intentionally forced non interactive option by -F

Yes, sure version: gnome-extensions-cli 0.10.6-1 extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/5060/xremap/ OS Name: Manjaro Linux OS Build: rolling OS Type: 64-bit GNOME Version: 48 Windowing System: Wayland Kernel Version: Linux 6.12.44-3-MANJARO

I couldn't reproduce your issue @ai-mind Maybe you are missing a system dependency, like a libbrary used by the extension which prevent it from working?

Did you investigate more on the problem?
