Quantal (12.10) Gnome 3.7.1: User Shell extension not enabled

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 3132 / 2 Years ago, thu, march 24, 2022, 6:32:13

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10 from the previous version.

I have Gnome 3.7.1 (according to Synaptic packet manager) and Tweak Tools. I can't get User ~~Shell~~ Theme Extension enabled in Tweak Tools -- there's an exclamation mark next to that switch. Can somebody help me out? I've been to https://extensions.gnome.org/ but the only User Theme extension is given as "Outdated". I've downloaded two themes from gnome-looks.org and placed them in ~/.themes. If I right-click anywhere, the menu that opens up, looks quite primitive. What can I do to fix the problem?

user shell extension not enabled gnome 3.7.1

right click menu looks strange

You are using the testing release of gnome3 (ppa:ricotz/testing) which will generally not be compatible with extensions. In order to downgrade to gnome 3.6, you will have to purge the ricotz/testing ppa with sudo ppa-purge ppa:ricotz/testing. Then you will have to reinstall gnome shell from the standard gnome3 repository (ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3). Note that at the moment, the content of these two repositories is roughly the same as gnome 3.6 came out less than a month ago.
