Public bug reported: Here's what I'm trying to do:
1. Go to https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1379/mpris-indicator-button/ 2. Click the toggle switch to install it. 3. Use the extension after it is installed. Here's what should happen: 1. I am prompted for confirmation to install the extension. 2. I click Install. 3. The toggle switch goes from Off to On and the extension is added to my top bar. Here's what happens instead: 1. I am prompted for confirmation to install the extension. 2. I click Install. 3. The toggle switch stays in the Off permission, and the extension is not added to my top bar. Here's what I see in journalctl: Nov 06 13:13:24 jik-d42-x1 gnome-software[2200]: State change on user /*/*/shell-extension/mprisindicatorbutton_JasonLG1979.github.io/* from available to installed is not OK I've also tried unzipping by hand into a subdirectory of ~/.local/share /gnome-shell/extensions, restarting gnome-shell, and enabling the extension at extensions.gnome.org/local, but that doesn't work either. The toggle switch goes to On when I toggle it, but the extension isn't actually enabled and when I reload the page the switch is Off again. I've tried with https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/779/clipboard- indicator/ and https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/7/removable-drive- menu/ too. They won't install and activate either. *** I do not have this problem on a second Ubuntu 19.10 computer I use. *** I have no idea what is different between the two computers or how to troubleshoot further. I am using Xorg, not Wayland.
