How to install gnome-shell-extension-taskbar?

[David Aldrich]

Hi

I am running Fedora 23 with Gnome Shell 3.18.4

I would like to install the gnome-shell-extension-taskbar to make the desktop more
friendly.

Please can anyone tell me which package I need to install?

If you have any other suggestions for making the desktop easier to use I would be
interested.

Best regards

David

If you have not installed gnome-tweak-tool then you need to do that first.

When you have installed gnome-tweak-tool you start it and then click on
"Extensions" and you get list of some default extensions which you can
activate if you like. For more extensions you click on the link "Get
more Extensions" which open default browser with Gnome Extensions where
you can find TaskBar (if that is your looking for).

Thanks for your instructions. I have installed gnome-tweak-tool, clicked "Get more
Extensions", which opened Gnome Extensions in Chrome. I found TaskBar, but don't
know how to install it from there.

If it helps, I get a message in Chrome stating:

"Although GNOME Shell integration extension is running, native host connector is not
detected."

Can you help me further please?

Best regards

David

OK, need to install the plugin "Gnome Shell Integration" in your
browser. I am using Firefox but there should be plugin for Chrome also.
Yes, I checked that the plugin exist so install it and you should be
able to install "Gnome Shell Integration".

I'm sorry, but I am still struggling with this.  I have installed the plugin
"Gnome Shell Integration" in Firefox. But when I browse to:

https://extensions.gnome.org/

(in Firefox) I then see:

"We cannot detect a running copy of GNOME on this system, so some parts of the
interface may be disabled. See our troubleshooting entry for more information."

The troubleshooting info suggests checking the network proxy configuration and that unzip
is installed. I've checked both of these are ok. Any more suggestions please?

Just not sure if this is relevant. Two questions:

1. Did you restart Firefox after you installed "Gnome Shell
   Integration" plugin?

2. Did you activate the plugin?

I started one of my VM Fedora 22 on my server and did some test to see
if I get same problem as you. I started Gnome-Tweak-tool and clicked on
the link fore more extensions and got same problem as you "We cannot
detect a running copy of GNOME on this system... ". When I looked at
what plugin was there and "Gnome Shell Integration" plugin was missing
so I search for that Firefox plugin. It seems to have changed name to
"Gnome Theme Tweak". I installed it and now I have "Gnome Shell
Integration" plugin installed. I did have to activate it to get it
working, but didn't need restart Firefox.

The Firefox was version 45.

I installed "Gnome Theme Tweak" and was then able to install the Taskbar
extension. 

Thanks very much for your help.

Try installing gnome-shell-extension-window-list. You might need to use 
the gnome tweak tool to enable it.

That depends entirely on what you consider to be easier.
