Thread: can't activate shell extensions

hello,

downloaded extension, , put in .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions, directory contains "myext" subdir extension.js , metadata.json files.

open gnome-tweak-tool , click on "shell extensions" tab, don't see extension there... doing wrong?

thanks!



edit: forgot mention did try restart gdm (/etc/init.d/gdm restart), , extension: https://github.com/knisterpeter/gnom...-calender-open

also, in lookingglass ext. doesn't appear too, while other extension installed through apt work fine.

creating simple dummy extension gnome-shell-extension-tool works fine (the extension correctly displayed after restarting gdm)

considering extension simple (below full code), maybe can achieve same result "manually"? tried gconf-editor got error saying schemas , pairs cannot edited gconf-editor
