• Re: Impossible to install extensions with Gnome browser plugin

    From George at Clug@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jun 7 03:00:02 2024
    Hi Jan Krapivin,


    I am hoping someone can help you with your answer as I do not use
    Gnome or have much experience with Gnome.


    Which Debian package or packages are you installing?

    I found a list of Debian Gnome packages at https://packages.debian.org/stable/gnome/


    But I was not able to find a  "GNOME Shell integration" package ?

    You said, "i am unable to install new extensions with browser plugin
    "GNOME Shell integration"".

    Could you please explain the steps to reproduce your problem,
    including  installation of the browser plugin package, how in the web
    browser you add the extension, and an example extension you were not
    able to install?

    Thanks,

    George.

    I have a problem with a Gnome browser plugin. I have even created an
    issue report (see below). 


    Unfortunately I don't know if I am the only one with this problem.


    If you use Debian 12 stable with Gnome, please let me know about your experience.

    "Hello! I use Debian 12 stable with Gnome 43.9. Recently i have found
    out that i am unable to install new extensions with browser plugin
    "GNOME Shell integration". I have tried different browsers: Firefox
    stable, Firefox-ESR, Chrome. In all of them it is impossible to
    install a new extension. Switching a tumbler from "OFF" to "ON" does
    nothing. Though it is possible to view already installed extensions
    and switch them off and on. It is also possible to install an
    extension from file.

    What i have tried: 1) Switching "Disable version validation" on and
    off. 2) Gnome-shell reinstall. 3) gnome-browser-connector reinstall."

    Thank you for your reply. This topic is not about Debian packages, but
    about a performance of a plugin for browsers, it is not a Debian
    package.

    https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/GnomeShellIntegration?action=show&redirect=Projects%2FGnomeShellIntegrationForChrome

    I am trying to install Gnome extensions with it. They are also not
    Debian packages.

    https://extensions.gnome.org/about/

    So maybe a Gnome forum or list or one about the specific plugin or even
    one about the browser is a better place to look for help than a debian
    mailing list?

    Yes, you are right, maybe. Though Debian is probably a rare (if not the
    only) distro that still uses Gnome 43.9, which is, as i use Debian, my
    case. And (maybe) a problem?

    I searched for gnome in https://packages.debian.org/index
    and got 65 package matches for bookworm. I repeated for
    trixie and got 63 matches. Finally I tried sid and got
    94 matches. However, I failed to find the string 43.9
    on any of these pages. How do you come by it? (I don't
    run gnome myself.)

    Cheers,
    David.
