| Mike2358 | hey guys first off I'd like to say that it"s been a while since ive done anything with Ubuntu. 10.04 to be exact. I was attempting to give my plex server rights so that it could read my external hard drive and now when i try to connect plex it tells me that it cannot connect to localhost. i'm currently running 16.04. anyone available to give me a hand? | 00:32 |

| Nonyme | Hello, world! | 12:42 |
| Nonyme | I have a problem with gnome-shell extensions. | 12:43 |
| Nonyme | I never managed to install them the normal way. | 12:43 |
| Nonyme | That is, through https://extensions.gnome.org/. | 12:43 |
| Nonyme | Do you all have this problem or am I the only one? | 12:43 |
| Nonyme | When I do search on the web I find many "solution" | 12:44 |
| Nonyme | but none worked so far. | 12:44 |
| Nonyme | So, there I am. Looking for up-to-date information. | 12:44 |
| Nonyme | I am using Ubuntu GNOME 16.04. | 12:44 |
| Nonyme | And firefox (for the website). | 12:45 |
| Nonyme | I am not sure if the problem comes from the firefox plugin, or my internet connectivity. | 12:45 |
| Nonyme | Here are the non standard caracteristics: | 12:46 |
| Nonyme | My ubuntu is in a virtualbox VM. | 12:46 |
| Nonyme | I am behind an HTTP proxy. (might be the problem) | 12:46 |
| Nonyme | And that's it, I think. | 12:47 |
| Nonyme | I never got this working. Under 12.04, 14.04 or 16.04. | 12:47 |
| Nonyme | I don't know if the problem comes from me using Ubuntu GNOME instead of Ubuntu. | 12:48 |
| Nonyme | Or if it is due to anything else... | 12:48 |
| Nonyme | The failure is message-less. All I get is the slider going green, but nothing happens. | 12:48 |
| Nonyme | And when the page reload, it goes back to off. | 12:48 |
| Nonyme | (I am speaking to nobody, isn't it?) | 12:49 |
| mgedmin | I used to have some success with extensions.gnome.org, using firefox | 12:50 |
| Nonyme | "used to" ? | 12:50 |
| mgedmin | chromium was broken for a long time (because it dropped support for NPAPI plugins) | 12:50 |
| mgedmin | it's been a long time since I last tried to install an extension | 12:50 |
| Nonyme | Ah. | 12:50 |
| mgedmin | bad experiences turned me off the concept of shell extensions altogether | 12:50 |
| mgedmin | you may want to try epiphany (the official GNOME Web browser) | 12:51 |
| mgedmin | but actually no, never mind | 12:51 |
| mgedmin | lack of plugin would give a different error indication | 12:51 |
| mgedmin | there were always _some_ extensions that would fail to install in the manner you describe | 12:51 |
| mgedmin | never got to the bottom of that | 12:52 |
| mgedmin | never found any useful log file | 12:52 |
| mgedmin | sorry :/ | 12:52 |
| Nonyme | Hum. | 12:52 |
| Nonyme | I have a workaround that demands a lot of job... | 12:53 |
| Nonyme | I basically download the xml file (or json, I don't remember) that describe the extension. | 12:53 |
| Nonyme | Pick the right version, and download the archive. | 12:53 |
| Nonyme | That I extract in the extension folder. | 12:53 |
| Nonyme | This work, but it is supposed to be the job of the extension. | 12:53 |
| Nonyme | I do not understand why gnome-shell do not comes with a script that does that. | 12:54 |
| Nonyme | Instead of only a web browser extension that does not provide any error message. | 12:54 |
| Nonyme | Are the extensions a concept that is meant to die? | 12:55 |
| Nonyme | I mean, it looks like an un-maintained service of gnome. | 12:56 |
| Nonyme | Hum, seems like this will do the job: http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/76-gnome/345-gnome-shell-install-remove-extension-command-line-script#h2-all-in-one-installation-removal-script | 12:59 |
| Nonyme | If it were working... | 13:08 |
| jbicha | Nonyme: gnome-software 3.22 will include the ability to browse and install extensions so you won't have to use a web browser plugin then | 13:10 |
| Nonyme | That is a good news, except that I am stuck with LTS, which means I won't see the benefit of that until 2018.04... | 13:11 |
| Nonyme | Ok, so that script relies on "gnome-session --version" | 13:12 |
| Nonyme | And gnome-session does not have a --version option apparently... | 13:13 |
| Nonyme | Hum, no, it has one, but it is broken. | 13:14 |
| Nonyme | At least on my system. | 13:14 |
| Nonyme | Let's use gnome-shell --version instead... | 13:15 |
| Nonyme | Gnome Shell version is 3.18.5. Extension Applications Menu version 3.20 has been installed in user mode. | 13:15 |
| Nonyme | What... | 13:15 |
| mgedmin | one fun thing about ubuntu gnome is how it mixes and matches gnome components from various gnome releases, for reasons | 13:17 |
| Nonyme | Can we know those reasons? | 13:18 |
| Nonyme | Does ubuntu have the same "funny" thing? | 13:20 |
| Nonyme | I am stuck with Ubuntu LTS, else I would have used something structurally sane. [troll]like archlinux[/troll] | 13:22 |
| jbicha | Ubuntu comes with Unity; Ubuntu GNOME comes with GNOME Shell but they use the same repositories so installing Ubuntu first instead of Ubuntu GNOME (probably) won't help you with a GNOME bug | 13:22 |
| Nonyme | For some reason my P key stoPPed working unless in caPs... | 13:24 |
| jbicha | Nonyme: the Applications Menu extension is already installed by default (as part of the gnome-shell-extensions package; it is used in GNOME Classic mode) | 13:25 |
| Nonyme | I know, but I have some other that are not. | 13:25 |
| Nonyme | I disabled the gnome-shell-extensions Package to see if the bug did not comes from that. | 13:26 |
| jbicha | Firefox works here on UG 16.04; there was a little bar under the address bar I had to click to enable the plugin to work on extensions.gnome.org and then I reloaded the page | 13:27 |
| jbicha | and then I installed dash to dock | 13:27 |
| Nonyme | Yes, I had that too. | 13:28 |
| Nonyme | But it didn't work. | 13:28 |
| Nonyme | I even enabled the Plugin "always" | 13:28 |
| Nonyme | In the oPtions. | 13:28 |
| Nonyme | [f**k this P key...] | 13:29 |
| jbicha | could you try with a brand new user account? | 13:29 |
| mgedmin | which extension were you trying to install? | 13:29 |
| Nonyme | I will try. | 13:29 |
| Nonyme | Heh... | 13:30 |
| Nonyme | I cannot swith user account because of autologin... | 13:30 |
| Nonyme | Hum even after disabling autologin. | 13:31 |
| Nonyme | Ok, I will assume Virtualbox is the culPrit. | 13:31 |
| Nonyme | (for the P key too) | 13:32 |
| Nonyme | Let me kill it (with fire) then start it again (with hoPe...) | 13:32 |
| Nonyme | Hi, me again. | 14:02 |
| Nonyme | How do I lock my session and change user? | 14:02 |
| Nonyme | When I do lock my session I cannot change user, it log me back it. | 14:02 |
| Nonyme | (I do not have a Password) | 14:03 |
| Nonyme | (and how my god I still have this P Problem...) | 14:03 |
| Nonyme | That is what you get when you have a windows host. | 14:04 |
| Nonyme | Lets reboot this haunted beast. | 14:04 |
| Nonyme | Ok, so... | 14:23 |
| Nonyme | Without Num Lock: p | 14:23 |
| Nonyme | With Num Lock: | 14:23 |
| Nonyme | (pas p) | 14:24 |
| Nonyme | Oups, my french slipped out. :-) | 14:24 |
| Nonyme | Anyway, it is working correctly in tty. | 14:24 |
| Nonyme | Weird Virtual Box bug I guess. | 14:25 |
| Na3iL | Nonyme, what was your problem again? | 14:29 |
| Nonyme | Which one? | 14:30 |
| Nonyme | I was trying to install gnome extensions. | 14:30 |
| Nonyme | Ah, let me try on a clean user with firefox. | 14:30 |
| Nonyme | (I had a problem in the mean time) | 14:30 |
| Nonyme | ... | 14:31 |
| Nonyme | I cannot change user. | 14:31 |
| Nonyme | This worked 5 min ago... | 14:31 |
| Na3iL | The display manager doesn't appear when you log out? | 14:31 |
| Nonyme_ | Nope. | 14:34 |
| Nonyme_ | Not working on an other fresh account. | 14:35 |
| Nonyme_ | Although that might be due to the proxy. | 14:35 |
| Nonyme_ | Anyway, using a script to install them manually seems to work. | 14:35 |
| Nonyme_ | Except that the script was asking for gnome-session --version | 14:35 |
| Nonyme_ | Which does not respond... | 14:36 |
| Nonyme_ | Do you know why we have this frankenstein gnome mix on ubuntu gnome? | 14:36 |
| === Nonyme_ is now known as Nonyme | ||
| Nonyme | And I guess that is the same mix on ubuntu itself. | 14:37 |
| Nonyme | Is it too hard to use a released version correctly? | 14:38 |
| jbicha | it's not frankenstien and installing extensions works fine here | 14:38 |
| Nonyme | It is a mix between 3.14, 3.18 and 3.20. | 14:40 |
| Nonyme | Ah, I see some 3.6 | 14:40 |
| Nonyme | What does gnome-session --version gives you? | 14:41 |
| jbicha | nautilus 3.18 had regressions so it was better for an LTS to use a version without does regressions; anyway nautilus isn't realated to your issue at all | 14:41 |
| jbicha | nothing, but apt policy gnome-session says I'm using 3.18.1.2-1ubuntu1.ubuntu16.04.1 | 14:43 |
| Nonyme | gnome-session --help says that gnome-session --version is handled. | 14:44 |
| Nonyme | Anyway, I can install the extensions by hand (with a crappy script). | 14:45 |
| Nonyme | I guess the problem is due to the proxy. | 14:45 |
| Nonyme | But I can only guess, there is no log file/error message for the plugin. | 14:45 |
| Nonyme | As for the p that does not work when Num Lock is enabled... I don't understand. | 14:46 |
| Nonyme | How do you enable Nun Lock at startup? | 14:46 |
| Nonyme | (I am using Virtualbox) | 14:46 |
| jbicha | I don't know, my computer doesn't have a separate numpad | 14:47 |
| Nonyme | Lets assume that problem is due to me using EFI boot in Virtualbox. | 14:48 |
| Nonyme | How do I migrate to a BIOS boot without reinstalling the system? :-) | 14:49 |
| Nonyme | I am guessing the hard part is to migrate from GPT to BIOS partition table. | 14:49 |
| Nonyme | Then I will only need to install grub2-pc instead of grub2-efi | 14:50 |
| Nonyme | gpart has that feature, good. | 14:53 |
| Nonyme | Expert -> Recovery -> Convert | 14:53 |
| Nonyme | (if you ever need it) | 14:54 |
| SrAceves | Hello | 15:09 |

| SrAceves | (please) | 15:13 |
| Nonyme | So... | 15:16 |
| Nonyme | I broke my mbr then repaired it. | 15:16 |
| Nonyme | I am now booting in BIOS mode. | 15:16 |
| Nonyme | And I still have that p problem. | 15:16 |
| Nonyme | However, I used the livecd to repair my mbr and in the live cd the p problem did not appear. | 15:17 |
