Cannot run argos in Gnome 3.34.1 #102

stevenart · 2019-11-28T17:36:40Z

Hi,
I installed Ubuntu 19.10 and I could not get argos to work. I installed it and it "worked" (the default script seemed to be working, I saw "Argos" in the topbar), but then it quickly vanished and I cannot get it to show up again.
Someone has tried it on this new version of gnome?
Any luck getting it to work ?
Thanks.

I have the same problem on Arch Linux with Gnome-Shell 3.34.1 (more specifically, after upgrading from 3.34.1+12+ga43c22e3a-1 to 3.34.1+56+gbb24df2f9-1).

We can't see if an error occurred in LookingGlass because Argos doesn't appear in the extensions at all. Installing the extension system-wide through a package manager doesn't change anything.

I guess it's on Gnome fault, but how could they screw the API with such a small version change ?

@stevenart, maybe you should change the title of the issue as it happens in another system than Ubuntu 19.10

stevenart · 2019-11-30T11:49:26Z

@rodolpheh Of course you're right, I just did.

artfulrobot · 2019-12-02T12:14:35Z

I've just found this extension, and am v excited - thanks!

I'm on Ubuntu 19.10. It installed OK.

I downloaded the world clock from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/matryer/bitbar-plugins/master/Time/worldclock.1s.sh - installing this caused a clock to appear, and clicking the clock shows the other times, BUT, the clock is never refreshed; so it just says the time it was installed! I had misnamed the file. All clear now.

@artfulrobot Are your system up-to-date? Can you execute the following command and share your complete version of gnome-shell?
apt-cache show gnome-shell | grep Version

artfulrobot · 2019-12-02T13:52:40Z

@stevenart I installed 19.10 fresh this morning.

gnome-shell:
  Installed: 3.34.1-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.34.1+git20191024-1ubuntu1~19.10.1

@artfulrobot My guess is that when you'll do a dist-upgrade it will update to a new minor version of gnome-shell and argos will stop working. If you're ready to risk it, I'll be curious to know. ;-)

artfulrobot · 2019-12-02T15:02:26Z

Sorry @stevenart, I can't replicate this; I've just done a dist-upgrade which brought gnome-shell up to 3.34.1+git20191024-1ubuntu1~19.10.1 and argos is still running!

stevenart · 2019-12-02T16:07:40Z

@artfulrobot Don't be sorry, this might be good news ! :-) Now I just have te figure out why it stopped working on my system.

@rodolpheh Any update on your side? Did you try to install argos again? Do you still have the issue?

rodolpheh · 2019-12-08T12:03:33Z

I've thoroughly updated everything since but still no luck. When trying to install it from the gnome-shell extensions website, it shows nothing. When I reload the page, the switch is off, almost like it didn't install.

stevenart · 2019-12-08T13:20:18Z

@rodolpheh
Ok, I got it to work. Here is what I did :

Uninstall extension from Tweaks and/or Gnome Extensions website.
Completely remove folders (rm -Rf) ~/.config/agos and ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]
Restart gnome (reboot or logout).
Reinstall argos from Gnome Extensions website.

For me it worked.

rodolpheh · 2019-12-08T13:47:33Z

I'm typing this as I'm doing your instructions :

Step 1 is unnecessary on my side because Argos doesn't install at all when going through the Gnome Extensions website
On step 2, I find a broken link for ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected] which links to $HOME/argos/[email protected]. This should not happen, so I'll remove it.

Now it is working. So the issue was probably some broken link that was create who knows how. Thanks @stevenart for your instructions. Seems that this ticket can be closed, right ?

I am running Argos on Solus Gnome (Gnome 3.34.2) and Argos starts and all extensions show, but if I click on them nothing happens, no dropdowns. I rolled back to 3.34.1 and everything works fine. sorry this could be completely different issue then described above but seems like Gnome is making lots of breaking-changes

creissig · 2020-02-10T15:03:20Z

Same situation here. Running Argos on Solus Gnome (Gnome 3.34.3) and Argos starts all extensions, but nothings gonna happen on clicking the menue entries. No dropdown menü. The example script under https://github.com/p-e-w/argos#shell_log1ssh is showing up the logfiles entries within the 1 line of the menuebar. So the script is working, but the dropdown and corresponding features wont show. Strange.

pm314 · 2020-02-10T15:52:43Z

Yes, I didnt find any solution and the extension is no longer being developed so I ported my python scripts to Albert launcher which is DE independent. Its not quite the same experience but I am working on a way for each script to have its own tray icon to bring it closer to the same.

"no longer being developed"? like unmaintained? Wow that would be a pity! Can you reference where you saw that?

stevenart · 2020-02-10T18:44:39Z

@pm314 Last update is from last month... Where did you saw it was no longer being
developed ?

artfulrobot · 2020-02-10T20:14:24Z

#108

mstoetzer · 2020-05-06T05:35:15Z

There is a dev RPM package using the following patch for menuitem.js: link

stevenart · 2020-06-11T17:56:21Z

And with Ubuntu 20.04, Argos is really gone.
I tried the patch sent by @mstoetzer with no luck.

Anyone could get it to work with recent gnome?
Or know can suggest an alternative?

stevenart · 2020-06-11T19:39:29Z

Forgot I said anything. I should read before I post. There are other tickets open with this new problem... and a solution.
