[arch-general] Gnome extensions and the extension site
For a while now I get the following message when I visit https://extensions.gnome.org/: We cannot detect a running copy of GNOME on this system, so some parts of the interface may be disabled. See our troubleshooting entry for more information. It was working a few months ago; since this is Arch it was quite a few updates ago ;) Now a couple of the extensions I like are out of date and I'd like to update them. I've looked at the "troubleshooting entry" but nothing there improves the situation. Are others seeing this, or am I alone? Any ideas of what I should check/modify to get it back to a working state? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus What gets measured, gets done. -- Tom Peters

What browser are you using? If it is Chromium/Google Chrome, they dropped support for NPAPI plugins, so this will not work in Chromium anymore. If your using Firefox, do you see "Gnome Shell Integration" in about:addons in the Plugins tab?

This has never really wored for me in Firefox. I always use Epiphany (“Web”) for this purpose which works quite well.

I found the "GNOME Shell Integration" extension in Firefox and changed it from "Ask to activate" to "Always activate" and it fixed it.

Any pointers on how to do that? All instructions I find rely on the plugin actually appearing on the web page so I can click something. However, the Gnome plugin doesn't. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then being a real problem in the longer term. -- Alan Kay

No, I'm sorry. For me, the plugin was just there after installing the "gnome" group.

What do you mean by "there"? It's in 'about:plugins' but I find no way to interact with it to set its "Always active" status. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus The results point out the fragility of programmer expertise: advanced programmers have strong expectations about what programs should look like, and when those expectations are violated--in seemingly innocuous ways--their performance drops drastically. -- Elliot Soloway and Kate Ehrlich

Thanks. That seems to have fixed it. I came at it from the about:plugins, where there seems to be no such handy dropdown for each installed plugin. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Goto labels should be left-aligned in all caps and should include the programmer's name, home phone number, and credit card number. -- Abdul Nizar
