Public bug reported: GNOME Shell extensions are enabled if they are listed in gsettings org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions
1. This makes it difficult to handle upgrades if a distro wants to enable any extension by default. 2. This also causes a problem for certain extensions that should be enabled when installed. For instance, if you install gnome-shell- extension-onboard, it ought to be enabled without having to also explicitly turn it on. At least in Debian, it's expected that something usually starts working once you install it. Proposal -------- What about if the enabled key is part of the extension's own gsettings? Then a distro package could easily have the enabled key set or not. And why not enable extensions by default? This would better match the behavior when you install extensions directly from https://extensions.gnome.org/ ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1692823 Title: gnome-shell's enabled-extensions gsettings list is difficult for distros To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1692823/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
