Support GNOME 3.20 about gnome-public-ip-extension

[zapashcanon]

In metadata.json, replace line 2:
"shell-version": ["3.14","3.16","3.18"],
by:
"shell-version": ["3.14","3.16","3.18", "3.20"],
and it should work I think. ;)

Normally, starting with Gnome 3.22, version check is going to be dropped. Good news, no need to worry about it anymore.

still not installed on Gnome 3.22.1

@Kaaveh-MD, how did you install the extension ?

What OS are you using ? Maybe they changed the default behavior of gnome (>=) 3.22, so you should try:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation true

And after installing it, did you enable it (with gnome-tweak-tool or any other tool) ?

I enter gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation true in terminal. Then
installed from https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1004/public-ip-address/ and click install but noting happened! even in tweak tool - Extensions section
I'm using Kali 2016.2 with Gnome Shell 3.22.1

I think it's related to gnome or to the extension website then. I already had this issue on many extensions.

Try to do the following:

git clone https://github.com/growing/gnome-public-ip-extension.git
cd gnome-public-ip-extension/
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]
cp -r convenience.js extension.js metadata.json prefs.js stylesheet.css icons/ ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]

Then restart gnome-shell and see if the extension is available in tweak-tools.

This solution is not perfect as you'll still have to compile schemas to get the extension working. But, I think your issue is not specific to the extension.

Still not working for me ...

I just wrote a Makefile to install the extension, please, see here and try it, should be ok.

Still not working ... When I make ,print:
fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home) Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set). rm -rf /root/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected] mkdir -p /root/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected] cp -r /home/kaaveh/Desktop/gnome-public-ip-extension-makefile/build/* /root/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]

How did you get the source code ?
You must switch to the Makefile branch using: git checkout makefile once you're in the directory.

I downloaded an archive.
Can you explain after cd to extracted archive folder, what command I must use?

[zapashcanon]

git clone https://github.com/zapashcanon/gnome-public-ip-extension.git
cd gnome-public-ip-extension
git fetch origin
git checkout makefile
make

Unfortunately not working for me...

[zapashcanon]

What's not working exactly ?

Sorry 😅
Actually extension not installed.

[zapashcanon]

Did you try to restart gnome-shell after doing it ?

Yes I do. I also have problem to install caffeine from extensions.gnome.org until I try this:
git clone git://github.com/eonpatapon/gnome-shell-extension-caffeine.git cd gnome-shell-extension-caffeine ./update-locale.sh glib-compile-schemas --strict [email protected]/schemas/ [email protected]/schemas cp -r [email protected] ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions

[zapashcanon]

Could you try again:

git clone https://github.com/zapashcanon/gnome-public-ip-extension.git
cd gnome-public-ip-extension
git fetch origin
git checkout makefile
make

And show me the whole output ?

You don't have to run any of this command as root. The extension is installed to the current user $(HOME), so, when you run as root, it goes in the wrong folder. That's why you don't see it in tweak-tool.

Do it again but with your personal user and it'll be fine.

Ops! .... Sorry for that. Now it's installed on my system.
Tnx a lot
