So if I went here https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ in Epiphany and tried to update an extension with little green up arrow, then for a few of them it might work, but sooner rather than later I would just get a big white on red "ERROR" message where the buttons would normally be. At which point, if I had tried to update extensions which were disabled at the time of me trying to update them, they would become enabled and be stuck on that mode until I restarted my machine. It also appears to break a lot of things with gnome-shell, though what it does each time appears rather random. This issue was present in GNOME 3.22, but certainly got worse with everything in the AO breaking with 3.24. If I try to disable or enable any of the affected extensions using the gnome-tweak-tool then I am unable to move the slider and there is a little "error loading extension" (gnome-tweak- tool_Extension_Errors.png) next to each one, I am also unable to get the "Remove" button to work. I have also attached some screenshots of the kinds of strange things that occur when I do this. You will also notice the "Applications" and "Places" (Applications_Places_Menus_Showing.png) menus being present, those extensions are some of those that weren't on originally, but then got jammed on when I tried to update them even though I never actually tried to turn them on. If I then restart my system I can disable and even remove them, but not until a full restart is performed. Not even restarting gnome-shell seems to work. I have also noticed that after I start seeing "ERROR" on the website that I get the same or just the update arrow reappears a few seconds after clicking it with all the other extensions and thus am unable to update them. This is all rather annoying. Note: Any strange big white boxes or black boxes in the screenshots are just me hiding personal information etc. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1686796/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
