Created attachment 521946 [details] the empty gnome-tweak-tool "Shell Extensions" submenu Description of problem: I installed all available gnome-shell extensions (curiosity!): gnome-shell-extension-auto-move-windows-3.1.4-3.20110830git6b5e3a3e.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-pomodoro-0-0.2.git13030cd.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-alternate-tab-3.1.4-3.20110830git6b5e3a3e.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-remove-volume-icon-0.1-1.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-remove-bluetooth-icon-0.1-1.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-remove-accessibility-icon-20110603-1.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-places-menu-3.1.4-3.20110830git6b5e3a3e.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-noim-1.0-1.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-noripple-1.0-1.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-alternative-status-menu-3.1.4-3.20110830git6b5e3a3e.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-dock-3.1.4-3.20110830git6b5e3a3e.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-systemMonitor-3.1.4-3.20110830git6b5e3a3e.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-common-3.1.4-3.20110830git6b5e3a3e.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-user-theme-3.1.4-3.20110830git6b5e3a3e.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-icon-manager-0-0.2.gite9deb2b.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-cpu-temperature-0-0.1.git712153f.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-windowsNavigator-3.1.4-3.20110830git6b5e3a3e.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-gpaste-1.2-1.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-mediaplayers-0-0.1.git259f96e.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-apps-menu-3.1.4-3.20110830git6b5e3a3e.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-presentation-mode-0-0.2.gitc3ce6b2.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-righthotcorner-1.0-1.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-native-window-placement-3.1.4-3.20110830git6b5e3a3e.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-theme-selector-0.9-3.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-pidgin-0-0.2.git4ca78b1.fc16.x86_64 gnome-shell-extension-drive-menu-3.1.4-3.20110830git6b5e3a3e.fc16.noarch gnome-shell-extension-workspacesmenu-0-1.fc16.noarch But if now starting gnome-tweak-tool, the "Shell extensions" submenu remains empty - no extension is shown. And I see no extension effect in the user menu (top right), or, for example, there is no menu in the system status area that tracks removable disk devices [this should be provided by gnome-shell-extension-drive-menu-3.1.4-3.20110830git6b5e3a3e.fc16.noarch].

Actual results: No device menu has been added Expected results: device menu has been added Additional info:
Running LookingGlass (alt+f2->lg->extensions) complains: no extensions installed.
Confirmed on Fedora 16 Beta (updated on 2011-10-15). This happens because the Gnome Shell Extensions have a different version than the Gnome Shell itself. Gnome Shell = 3.2 Extensions = Some are 3.1.4 To enable them (and so the Tweak tool -- why is it in Acessories and not System Tools?) do the following: Edit the metadata.json file for each extension in "/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/*/metadata.json" to be 3.2.0
Just a clarification, that will make the tweak tool SEE the extensions, but GNOME 3.2 still fails to load them.
I was able to get the extensions to work by checking them out from the git repo (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Extensions) and copying the files over to /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions.
Confirming that installing dock extension doesn't work with F16
just for others which installed Fedora 16 final and wonder why extensions don't work: gnome-shell was upgraded to 3.2.1 so the extension's metadata.json should mention that (3.2.0 will obviously no work).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
