Arch Linux User Repository

Update Done

I've forked this package into gnome-shell-extension-pop-shell-git-master_jammy which works with Gnome 42. Once this repo is updated and working with Gnome 42 I will delete it.

@e-v hope this helps

The source repository's default branch is master_jammy. It contains fixes for Gnome 42, for instance. Should the PKGBUILD point to it rather than master?

Should this use provides=('gnome-shell-extension-pop-shell')?

it's probably because your local PKGBUILD have no committed modification

@vincent.ducamps: Sure.

@yochananmarqos sorry for the late I see that your are more active than me I you wish I can let you manage this package?

@vincent.ducamps: This now depends on pop-launcher, see this commit.

@yochananmarqos: Done!

@lgaboury: I can reproduce it with the latest commits. Report it upstream.

I successfully installed this extension however when I click on "Floating Window Exceptions" on the menu nothing happens. Meaning the "Floating Window Exceptions" window does not appear. The following also appears in journalctl every time I take the action: Jul 09 08:32:33 asus-laptop gjs[1173]: JS ERROR: TypeError: DEFAULT_RULES is undefined App@/home/lgaboury/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/pop-shell@system76.com/floating_exceptions/main.js:153:29 main@/home/lgaboury/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/pop-shell@system76.com/floating_exceptions/main.js:213:5 @/home/lgaboury/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/pop-shell@system76.com/floating_exceptions/main.js:216:1 Jul 09 08:32:33 asus-laptop gjs[1173]: Script /home/lgaboury/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/pop-shell@system76.com/floating_exceptions/main.js threw an exception

I also tried to install this extension manually from github with same result. Am I maybe missing an Arch package causing this feature to fail that is not set as an explicit dependency? My apologies if this is not the correct place to report this issue.

@Alterego: You can thank the developers, they added commits today that fixed it. @kamilst96 only relayed that information. Sorry to burst that bubble. Don't get me wrong, @kamilst96 has done a good job of maintaining the package.

Thanks @kamilst96, love you

@Alterego: Fix merged and confirmed working. You can reinstall now.

@yochananmarqos tried but did not seem to work, i'll probably wait for an updated package, no need to upgrade ATM

@Alterego: All you had to do was switch to a TTY, downgrade to a working package version from cache, then restart GNOME Shell. See the comment right below yours.

Cannot do a thing on startup after installing latest package, had to restore via USB

If your overview broke (06.07.2021, head at 3873fc5bbe84c392d1ed424760dc6134aafcbced), you have two options:

1. Checkout commit "a28f1241fc5b0d5033095cc28777c7016e21e6ef" This is a point just before the breakage started.

2. Checkout commit "b33c5e260d1feda39de442cef9a222105e972932". It fixes the introduced issue, but has been reverted, so something must be amiss about it.

@vincent.ducamps: This now requires fd.

@vincent.ducamps: It is two distinct packages as I'm using a split package.

@yochananmarqos for people who doesn't use system76-power it will be better to keep two distinct package isn't he?

@vincent.ducamps: I've converted to a split package for the new pop-shell-plugin-system76-power plugin: diff

I'm getting the following error when installing:

@vincent.ducamps Turning off my VPN resolved the issue. Thanks for the quick check on your part to verify not everyone was seeing that error. For reference, the discussion here tipped me off it might be an ISP-level issue: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=245960

@nicks I have just rebuild package on my computer no issue on my side maybe you need to do an complete update before

@vincent.ducamps I'm getting the following error when running yay -S on this package or the non-git version. Are you experiencing a connection issue with crates.io as well?

error: failed to download from https://crates.io/api/v1/crates/anyhow/1.0.32/download

@vincent.ducamps. Keybindings are included now and the schemas are installed to the system, see my updated PKGBUILD

@coxackie I have create new package in non-git version gnome-shell-extension-pop-shell

There is a first official release: https://github.com/pop-os/shell/releases/tag/1.0.0. Is there going to be a non-git version of this package?

Yes sorry, it should be 644.

@Depau: The Makefile used to install it, but they recently reverted installing schemas and locale files to system directories. Why would it have 655 permissions? Shouldn't it be 644?

Hi, Could you please update the package so that the generated settings schema is installed to /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/?

It should be roughly

install -Dm655 "$srcdir/shell/schemas/org.gnome.shell.extensions.pop-shell.gschema.xml "$pkgdir"/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

Thank you!

@vincent.ducamps that is good news. Wayland is a lot more secure - it will be good to be on it again.

@stuzenz personaly I use it with wayland and no problem meet for the moment

@vincent.ducamps: Until we find a better way to automatically write/reset dconf settings, remove the dbus bit. It seems to be causing more issues than it solves.

If someone can help to clarify:

Does anyone know if gnome-shell-extenision-pop-shell is now compatible with wayland? I previously disabled wayland a couple of months ago as per below due to a number of issues/bugs that seemed to exist for pop-shell to work properly with wayland.

/etc/gdm/custom.conf

# Comment out again when I want to use wayland
WaylandEnable=false

I notice that with the current arch package here (r576.fd2380c-1) that it now has a dependency on dbus-x11 (due to me not using wayland). If I try to install dbus-x11 it has dependency conflicts as below:

Package conflicts found:
 -> Installing dbus-x11 will remove: dbus, dbus (libdbus)
 -> Conflicting packages will have to be confirmed manually
[Repo Make:2]  xmlto-0.0.28-4  doxygen-1.8.20-1
[Aur:1]  dbus-x11-1.12.20-1

Which leads me to wonder if pop-shell is now working nicely with wayland which will stop me having to satisfy dependencies (and associated conflicts) on a path that will hopefully be deprecated one day. Can someone please let me know what combination is working well at the moment?

Vincent, Thanks for maintaining the package! I really do like this tiling manager with gnome3.

@yochananmarqos So we can't use the origin dbus in the future?

@vincent.ducamps: No, that issue happens when the install file executes which is in a chroot. See PKBUILD: install.

@yochananmarqos do you use gnome on your root session?

@laichiaheng: See my comment below, you'll need dbus-x11.

@vincent.ducamps: Turns out each dconf reset ... command has to be done one by one, the way I had it didn't work. See my changes.

@vincent.ducamps: Your install file is fine and I have no issues. If you're using X11, you may need to use dbus-x11, see my PKGBUILD.

anyway I have push last version to avoid issue with rebuild.sh

@yochananmarqos sorry it's the first package that I try to maintain so I'm little slow

I have try to improve instalation but I think that post_install is not execute could you tell me if I have done a mistake you can find my repo here: repo

UUID is "pop-shell@system76.com" rm -rf /home/laichiaheng/.cache/yay/gnome-shell-extension-pop-shell-git/pkg/gnome-shell-extension-pop-shell-git//usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/pop-shell@system76.com mkdir -p /home/laichiaheng/.cache/yay/gnome-shell-extension-pop-shell-git/pkg/gnome-shell-extension-pop-shell-git//usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/pop-shell@system76.com cp -r _build/* /home/laichiaheng/.cache/yay/gnome-shell-extension-pop-shell-git/pkg/gnome-shell-extension-pop-shell-git//usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/pop-shell@system76.com/ install: 無法取得 'rebuild.sh' 的資訊: 沒有此一檔案或目錄

I have the same issue as @core_contingency. I'm a bit of a newb, so any help would be appreciated.

@vincent.ducamps: Well, now my point is moot as rebuild.sh is gone and configure.sh can be run after install / upgrade.

makepkg -s fails with:

    Aborting...

@vincent.ducamps: The install file works if that's what you mean.

@yochananmarqos yes but when you execute the rebuild it is execute in a normal user context. have you try to execute dconf write command directly in root?

@vincent.ducamps: What do you mean? The commands in my install file are exactly the same as in the rebuild.sh.

@yochananmarqos I'm not sure that your way work because root don't acces to user dconf for change shortcut

@vincent.ducamps: The rebuild.sh should not be run as is after installing / updating via this package as it runs make commands that will install the extension in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/.

Instead, setting / updating the keyboard shortcuts should be done in an install file. See my PKGBUILD & install file.

after this instalation we need apply rebuild.sh on user session to overwrite gnome default shortcut it will be good maybe to add rebuild.sh in the package to avoid to download the file from git one more time

Seems like it is quite verbose by default, is that normal?

                                          }

Agreed with @laichiaheng. The shortcuts are not set using this package. Installing the package from source has all the shortcuts correctly set. If you look at the rebuild.sh on the source, it does a lot of dconf edits to correctly apply the keyboard shortcuts.

Maybe add pop-shell-shortcuts as an optional dependency?

Warning that pop shell is fubar'd on Wayland right now. There is an open issue upstream for more details: https://github.com/pop-os/shell/issues/166

Works great. Shortcuts work as well (after installing pop-shell-shortcuts. I had to make few changes to default gnome shortcuts to avoid some conflicts.

I have added the dependency but since I don't currently have an Arch Box running, I was only able to test the build in a container.

The shortcuts doesn't work at all.

There appears to be a dependency missing pop-shell-shortcuts when I try to view all shortcuts. It's probably shell-shortcuts.
