Gnome Shell extensions attempts to update on Plasma and fails #779

Worble · 2021-10-26T10:28:49Z

What did you expect to happen?
Topgrade to run successfully.

What actually happened?
Gnome Shell extensions attempts to update even though I'm using Plasma, and subsequently errors with

―― 11:19:32 - Gnome Shell extensions ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Distribution: Arch Linux
Desktop Environment: Plasma
Topgrade appears to be running gdbus since it is installed, however this is only as a dependency of xdg-desktop-portal, and presumably fails because I'm missing other GNOME dependencies. Should there also be a dependency on gnome-shell or something similar?

topgrade -v Output:

Correction, the previous error was based on the spelling mistakes fixed in #778, however running the master branch gives this error instead, presumably for the same reasoning as stated above:

I receive the same output on GNOME.

tranzystorekk · 2021-10-26T15:40:06Z

I am getting this error on a WSL2 instance of Arch Linux (no desktop environment), where gdbus is part of the glib2 package, which is a dependency for many packages:

MCOfficer · 2021-10-26T15:55:22Z

Can you try if installing gnome-shell does the trick? or do you need gnome-shell-extensions?

In case of the former we could check if gnome-extensions is in PATH and skip the step if it isn't.

ETCaton · 2021-10-26T16:44:41Z

This also happens on macOS

clesecq · 2021-10-26T17:23:10Z

@Worble, I think I found the error: the object path must start with /.
But for me, the command employee does not allow to update the extensions but just to check if there are updates available.

Bad3r · 2021-10-26T17:30:45Z

I am experiencing the same issue.

OS: Arch Linux, 5.14.14
Topgrade Version: 8.0.0

How can I disable this step?
I tried to add

disable = ["gdbus"]
# and
disable = ["Gnome Shell Extensions"]

Both are unknown variant, and it causes topgrade to throw an error message

2021-10-26T17:21:13.823Z ERROR topgrade::config > Failed to deserialize /home/$USER/.config/topgrade.toml

Edit:
To disable it, add gnome_shell_extensions to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/topgrade.toml

disable = ["gnome_shell_extensions"]

onefish2 · 2021-10-26T21:35:11Z

This is happening to me on RHEL 8, Manjaro various desktops Gnome or not. Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu Server 20.04 (no desktop installed), Arch etc.

edoardottt · 2021-10-27T08:45:31Z

Same on Ubuntu 21.10, if I type the command run by topgrade (https://github.com/r-darwish/topgrade/blob/develop/src/steps/os/unix.rs#L138-L151):
$> gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.Shell.Extensions --object-path org/gnome/Shell/Extensions --method org.gnome.Shell.Extensions.CheckForUpdates
I get this error:
Error: org/gnome/Shell/Extensions is not a valid object path

omid · 2021-10-27T09:44:13Z

@edoardottt read #779 (comment) & #779 (comment)

edoardottt · 2021-10-27T10:01:48Z

@omid Thank you, but I would like to have this fixed ... if possible, As a workaround I can just type N when asked to retry

omid · 2021-10-27T10:04:10Z

@edoardottt or you can follow #779 (comment) to disable it

modularTaco · 2021-10-28T08:51:25Z

@Worble, I think I found the error: the object path must start with /. But for me, the command employee does not allow to update the extensions but just to check if there are updates available.

This is the correct behavior, the method called is checkForUpdates which only checks the gnome extensions for updates and gnome installs pending updates on the next login (check https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/906 for reference)

r-darwish · 2021-10-28T16:48:22Z

Can any gnome user tell whether gnome sets some environment variable that we can check to see if we're running inside gnome?

yochananmarqos · 2021-10-28T16:58:46Z

@r-darwish

❯ echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

r-darwish · 2021-10-28T19:40:27Z

Thanks @yochananmarqos. Should be fixed now

frezbo · 2021-10-29T05:12:34Z

@r-darwish when running topgrade --verbose --only gnome_shell_extensions
