 uep | it's mildly annoying but mostly ignorable and, as you say, better than any other current option I have seen | 23:24:54 |
| uep | most of the other options seem to have serious issues with multi-monitor cases from what I can tell, and these issues might also be a lesser aspect of the same thing | 23:25:37 |
| uep | In reply to @maralorn:maralorn.de
Awesome, thanks! Cool! But also that tends to confirm that it should be filed as a bug upstream | 23:26:35 |
 @maralorn:maralorn.de | Not sure which upstream. Also had the issue with mumble. | 23:33:02 |
| uep | the suggestion above was mutter's XWayland | 23:33:29 |
| uep | (I don't know if that's the right suggestion either, but that's what I was referring to) | 23:34:40 |

 Jeff | Is there something special that I need to add to my config to get the background apps showing up in the quick settings menu? | 21:35:04 |
 Fernando Rodrigues | You need GNOME 44, which is currently only available on NixOS 23.05. Switch to the unstable channel and upgrade your system. | 21:42:54 |
| Jeff | yep, already on unstable. fully up to date as of a few minutes ago | 21:45:25 |
| Jeff | I think that I may have found the answer... https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/12ydvct/background_apps_feature_not_working_in_gnome_44/ | 21:45:47 |
| Jeff | Looks like it only works with things that were installed as flatpaks | 21:46:05 |
| Jeff | If that's true, it's annoying as heck as I don't need flatpak on NixOS | 21:47:10 |
| uep | wtf | 22:05:50 |
 Jan Tojnar | Jeff: yeah, support for non-flatpak apps is not currently implemented https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3699 | 23:19:54 |

 vcunat | FYI geary fails: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/227907#issuecomment-1529439976 | 07:33:07 |
| vcunat | (I don't know if it's considered an important package.) | 07:33:34 |
| vcunat | Probably fixed by https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/228476/commits/82cea11923906492263ea968ccd986a01238b5d9 | 08:14:11 |

 ElvishJerricco | So this extension only claims to be compatible with gnome 43. But it seems simple enough that it would likely work with gnome 44, right? Is there a way with nix to gnome to let me use it?

https://github.com/Nova1545/gnome-shell-extension-customreboot | 23:06:05 |
| ElvishJerricco | (or if anyone knows a better extension to use) | 23:07:04 |
| ElvishJerricco | Well, this allows the extension to at least show up and "work":
pkgs.gnomeExtensions.custom-reboot.overrideAttrs (old: {
postInstall = ''
${old.postInstall or ""}
sed -i 's/43/44/' $out/share/gnome-shell/extensions/customreboot@nova1545/metadata.json
'';
})
But it doesn't actually do what it's supposed to do. The menu of boot options it can show me is empty and I don't see any messages in journalctl
| 23:19:44 |
| uep | a more general option: gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation "true" | 23:49:54 |
