Description Albert Flügel 2023-06-23 08:29:08 UTC
See summary. In the gnome-extensions application i read:
The extension is incompatible with the current GNOME version

This is only half true. Simply the version of gnome shell (44) 
: rpm -q gnome-shell
gnome-shell-44.2-1.fc38.x86_64
is not listed in /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/vertical-overview.com/metadata.json :
{
    "name" : "Vertical overview",
    "description" : "Bringing back vertically stacked workspaces",
    "original-author": "rens.althuis",
    "shell-version" : [
        "42",
        "43"
    ],
    "url" : "https://github.com/RensAlthuis/vertical-overview",
    "uuid" : "vertical-overview.com",
    "version" : "9"
}

The problem can easily be fixed by adding 44 to this file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Gnome
2. Start gnome-extensions-app
3. Check the entry for Vertical overview
Actual Results:  
vertical overview does not work

Expected Results:  
vertical overview works

Comment 1 Bas Mevissen 2023-07-03 09:18:51 UTC
Please update this extension. Upstream might need to be poked to implement what is discussed in https://github.com/RensAlthuis/vertical-overview/issues/122
Thanks!

Comment 2 Carl George 🤠 2023-07-03 17:23:02 UTC
Upstream has stated they "do not have the time to properly maintain this extension".  They also recommend the v-shell extension, which is packaged as gnome-shell-extension-vertical-workspaces.

Regardless of that, thanks for linking to that issue.  Because of that I found the related pull request (ironically from the v-shell author), and will include it as a patch in the gnome-shell-extension-vertical-overview package.

Comment 7 Bas Mevissen 2023-07-04 10:20:40 UTC
Can confirm it works in F38. Thanks a lot!
Maybe good idea to remove it for F39 or later when the author thinks it is superseded by another extension?

Comment 8 Albert Flügel 2023-07-07 13:19:08 UTC
Thank you for adding some more gnome-shell version numbers to come :-)

Yeah I'm considering this.  It's difficult to depend on unmerged pull requests that I can turn into patches to keep things compatible.  Once GNOME 45 hits rawhide, I'll check if it breaks this extension again and make a judgement call then.
