Doesn’t work for me đ Installed extensions change nothing here.
Doesn’t work for me too.
On Ocelot i get following error in looking glass: âextension is not compatible with current GNOME Shell and/or GJS versionâ
Sorry, forgot to say which extension: its gnome-shell-extensions-dock.
Same here, doesn’t change a bit and it won’t show up in the Advanced-Settings-Tool as well.
Tried alternate-tab (need that badly!).
I also tried to clone the git-repository and built the extension from there, but that won’t show up either and I don’t know how to load it…
Using another ppa worked for me:
