You have been subscribed to a public bug: Installing GNOME shell extensions is quite painfull for two reasons:
# 1) https://extensions.gnome.org is not working The original and time-proven method of installing GNOME shell extensions is not working in Ubuntu 18.04. Even if I install the Firefox (or Chromium) GNOME extension, webpage says: "We cannot detect a running copy of GNOME on this system, so some parts of the interface may be disabled." # 2) "Ubuntu way" Ubuntu integrated the GNOME extensions into the "Ubuntu Software" application. But there is no posibility to sort the extensions by popularity or number of downloads. There is even no way to filter the extensions with basic fulltext. So the "Ubuntu way" is really pain to work with. # What you expected to happen The best would be if the https://extensions.gnome.org/ would work in Ubuntu by default. # Software details I have fresh installed Ubuntu 18.04. GNOME shell 3.28.3. ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bot-comment feature-request gnome -- Installing GNOME shell extensions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1809936 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
