| Not sure which upstream. Also had the issue with mumble. | 23:33:02 | |
| the suggestion above was mutter's XWayland | 23:33:29 | |
| (I don't know if that's the right suggestion either, but that's what I was referring to) | 23:34:40 | |

| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| yep, already on unstable. fully up to date as of a few minutes ago | 21:45:25 | |
| 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 | |
| Looks like it only works with things that were installed as flatpaks | 21:46:05 | |
| If that's true, it's annoying as heck as I don't need flatpak on NixOS | 21:47:10 | |
| wtf | 22:05:50 | |
| Jeff: yeah, support for non-flatpak apps is not currently implemented https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3699 | 23:19:54 | |

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

| 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 | 23:05:54 | |

| (or if anyone knows a better extension to use) | 23:07:04 | |
| Well, this allows the extension to at least show up and "work":
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 | |
a more general option: gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation "true" | 23:49:54 | |
| (which you can, of course, set declaratively via nix if you want) | 23:59:29 | |

| well, after some patching because the code isn't quite right, the list is too long and it doesn't scroll so it's useless anyway :P | 00:05:59 | |
Here's the patches I used. If anyone knows how to make the menu scroll, maybe I'll use it :P | 00:06:49 | |
