Public bug reported:
I updated yesterday (I think), and after a reboot today all extensions
were disabled.
I went to the gnome-shell extensions website, ticked to enable my
extension and it toggled on. The extensions did not seem to work. I
reloaded the page and they are off again. I clicked enabled, still
nothing. Reload page and all are off.
I check logs in journalctl and could see nothing relevant.
Eventually a bit of searching suggests enabling via gnome-shell-tweaks,
so I open that up and they're all unticked, and disabled (can't be
ticked). I realised there's a global "enable extensions" tickbox which
has been unticked. Enabling this fixes everything.
I have had to do this in the past, several months back as I had forgotten until
now.
Something is disabling this on upgrade and it is not obvious from the
extensions web-page that they have been disabled.
Ideally they should not be disabled at all, but if they are at least
there should be some more obvious feedback after upgrade and on the
extensions website
