This is the error in the systemd journal:

Hello All,

Thanks a lot for your interest! I have been a bit tied up at work and so haven't been able to actively update OpenBar. I have a few improvements in the plan and will get to it as time permits.

Now, for Gnome 49, I have added support for it and pushed the code to the "main" branch. It would certianly help if you could try it out from their and let me know if you face any issues. I will also submit it to Gnome extension store today so that the new version will be available there in couple days (after review by Gnome extension reviewers).

Hope the update works out well for Gnome 49!
