I am running 64 bit Fedora 25. Pressing enter in the Enter Query box will immediately freeze the computer. This happens even if the service is off. There were no errors in installation.

Are you using the latest version of mycroft and the extension ? please attach a debug log: journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f -o cat

AIIX commented

There seems to be some issue with key-press-events on keyboard input. I haven't yet figured it out and it seems to be currently only affecting Fedora 25 as on Ubuntu 16.10 it seems to be working fine. I am attaching a workaround extension to this message which has a send button below the enter query box instead of pressing enter(which is disabled in this). Until i can find a fix this is the best option.
Mycroft-AI-Gnome-Shell-Extension-fedora.zip

To Install this you can just replace the extension.js file from the zip in this folder: /home/$USER/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/mycroftaignome@aix.com/ and restart the session.

Fedora 25 defaults to wayland instead of x.org, Maybe that is can be the root of issue. Synapsis is also not working. Spotify also crashes for the same reason in the begining before they pushed a fix.

Another cause of crash can be because wayland has removed apis related to legacy tray. Topicon extension also have issues in F25 because of it. Basically any app which uses status tray api will crash. That is the reason synapsis is not working.

I have for time being switched to xorg during login to work things normally.

switching to xorg fixed the problem.

Switching to xorg is a temporary fix for fedora. Both fedora and gnome-shell will move towards wayland permanently.

AIIX commented

I will look into a fix for Wayland and will work something out by the next release as currently I am tied up with getting websockets to directly work from the extension itself getting rid of external dependencies of python and dbus. Additionally supporting the current version separately for Wayland doesn't make much sense at the moment as most are still on xorg

Keeping this issue open until its fixed for Wayland

Thanks for keeping it open. For wayland, if the problem is only because of status icon api, you can have a switch to disable it for wayland. Read this on discussion of synapsis app. There is a discussion to not use quick access for synapsis on wayland untill some alternative is provided by gnome itself. I am sure they have to provide some way quick because lots of major apps have status icon as their only interface. https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Whiteboards/StatusIcons

I am on Arch Gnome on Xorg and I too have this freeze. This is not a Wayland issue.

AIIX commented

IceWreck, the development of this extension has been depreciated here, the new extension work is happening else where, will notify on release(Soon(In the coming days)) 😄. All previous issues should stand resolved in the new release.
