From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

SOLVED GNOME extensions stopped working after upgrade to Fedora Workstation 42 (lemm.ee)

I've just upgraded to Fedora Workstation 42 and am now unable to activate any GNOME extensions. The little switches in the GUI do not respond and it's the same for all extensions. The Extensions and Extensions Manager apps are both installed as flatpaks - do I need to adjust their permissions in Flatseal? Is the problem due to something else? Thanks!

Edit/solution: I totally missed the 'Use Extensions' switch at the very top. All my extensions are working on the current GNOME version (48) now. I am the most silly. Hopefully the other solutions in the comments will be useful to someone else in future :)

As others have pointed out, the extensions are likely not (officially) compatible with the new version of GNOME yet. Which extensions are you having trouble with?

There are a couple of extensions that are available for installation through dnf for which Fedora takes care of making them compatible at the same time at which they make available a new version of GNOME. Caffeine and Dash To Panel are two examples. For a full-ish list, try dnf search gnome-shell-extension.

Alternatively you can also try manually editing the extension's metadata to "make it compatible". Your mileage may vary with this approach, but it worked fine for Net Speed Simplified, for example.
