I installed a prior version of this on the same OS fine, Gnome shell version was 3.36.3 at that time, and the commit used rebuild.sh still, I don't know how to find the version```

Can confirm this issue on Ubuntu 20.10 - Gnome 3.38.1. Kernel: 5.8.0-31-generic

Error: gnome-extensions enable "[email protected]" Extension “[email protected]” does not exist make: *** [Makefile:61: enable] Error 2

When run "make local-install"

Hoping someone comes up with a solution soon I love the pop-shell but can't migrate to pop-os.

I get a similar error in ubuntu 18.04

gnome-extensions enable "[email protected]" /bin/sh: 1: gnome-extensions: not found Makefile:61: recipe for target 'enable' failed make: *** [enable] Error 127

EDIT: nvm found out pop os shell doesn't support ubuntu 18.04 bionic

Updated first comment, I realized that it for some reason it was cutting the bottom half off, not just hiding it Also accidentally closed the thread somehow

I just tried reinstalling it and it works fine now. The System has been updated since then, but it might be a result of a gnome-shell restart. Should I close?

Hello @BlackHawk185 - I am adding some relief on this - once PR merged, should handle this and future local-installs.

I freshly updated Ubuntu to the 22.04 version with Gnome 42. I tried to update the pop-shell too, but I got this message:

I noticed that the changes provided in #782 are reverted. The installation works well after restoring them.

Restoring that commit worked for me, thanks for that. I used git cherry-pick 425f1e4dd851017be80b83cd3eeda803f0ac8f1f to restore the commit locally.

Is there an open issue for this? If not I'd be glad to create one.

It's probably better to reopen this one

git cherry-pick 425f1e4dd851017be80b83cd3eeda803f0ac8f1f helps with clean install on Ubuntu 22.04

I have installed on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS by this way:

sudo apt install git node-typescript make 
git clone https://github.com/pop-os/shell.git 
cd shell 
make local-install

and installed GNOME Tweaks afterwards. Now I have a problem that changing input source from Englist(en) to Thai(th) turns on Scroll Lock. Can anyone please teach me how to uninstall and reinstall Pop Shell ?
