Install from command line
Closed this issue · 11 comments
Hi,
how can we install and enable this extension from command line?
I'm trying to install it with ansible.
Thanks a lot
you have to put files into .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/#extension id as written in metadata.json#/
Then restart gnome shell to load the extension, and use gsettings to enable it. This procedure works in general for all extensions.
thanks @p91paul I did try that, but it still doesn't work.
I did git clone https://github.com/arelange/gnome-shell-extension-hibernate-status.git hibernate-status@dromi22
It works if I user firefox gnome extension to install it. But with git clone, I get a get a orange triangle with a question mark in gnome extensions list.
I use debian buster and have gnome-shell 3.30.2.
it's hibernate-status@dromi, not dromi22. Not sure if you just copied it wrong here.
You also need to run:
glib-compile-schemas schemas/
in the extension's folder

yes I just copied it wrong
You also need to run:
glib-compile-schemas schemas/
in the extension's folder
So, here is exactly what I did:
git clone https://github.com/arelange/gnome-shell-extension-hibernate-status.git hibernate-status@dromi
cd .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/hibernate-status@dromi
glib-compile-schemas schemas/
I add hibernate-status@dromi in the enabled plugins in dconf
I even reboot: I still have the orange triangle with a question mark in gnome extensions list.
can you post journalctl log? probably some error occurred
what's your gnome-shell version?
First of all, thanks for your time and help @p91paul !
gnome-shell version is 3.30.2
journalctl | grep hibernate
gives me that error:
gnome-shell[2820]: Extension "hibernate-status@dromi" had error: TypeError: GObject.registerClass() used with invalid base class (is ModalDialog)
I see. Latest master does not support gnome shell 3.30, unfortunately, try checking out commit 3c81d57
Also, I have to warn you: gnome is making big changes to the shutdown menu in 3.36.
Most certainly this extension is not going to work, and will require a full rewrite. I hope that either gnome will include a hibernate option in its default menu, or someone is going to create another extension, but this one is likely to die.
