Gnome 3

[alex152]

Hi everyone!):P

I've just installed gnome 3 on top of ubuntu 11.04 and I have a problem adding extensions:

I've installed the "git" application and cloned the git repository, but when I try to add a new extension using this (for example):


./autogen.sh –prefix=$HOME/.local – enable-extensions=”dock”

make install

I get this:


alex@alex-Extensa-5630:~/gnome-shell-extensions$ make && sudo make install
Making all in extensions
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/alex/gnome-shell-extensions/extensions'
Making all in user-theme
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/alex/gnome-shell-extensions/extensions/user-theme'
Makefile:434: *** missing separator. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/alex/gnome-shell-extensions/extensions/user-theme'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alex/gnome-shell-extensions/extensions'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1


Any ideas?

Me too!

According to what I've read it has something to do with a weird tab in the makefile.

I just installed gnome 3, I am wondering if I can get the windows looking the same as they did in unity. I like the layout and enviroment in gnome 3 better but my windows look like there from the 90's.

Every screen shot I see online has the rounded corners and looks more modern, but mine look like windows 2000. anyone know how to do this?

I have played around in the gconfig-editor and with the tweak tool but I can not change the actual appearance, only colours.

See if gnome-tweak-tool will help:

if you add the testing ppa from ricotz https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/testing (https://launchpad.net/%7Ericotz/+archive/testing)
it will install the base/offical extensions then you can install them from synaptic :-)
you'll need gnome tweak tool too :-)

Yes this is a missing tab in front of the indicated line. Just add it to the Makefile and it will compile.

Sorry, could you show me what the makefile line should look like?
I've added a tab to line 434 but it doesn't make.

You have to edit the Makefile which caused the error. For example:


make[2]: Entering directory `/home/alex/gnome-shell-extensions/extensions/user-theme'
Makefile:434: *** missing separator. Stop.This means that the Makefile in the directory: "gnome-shell-extensions/extensions/user-theme" has a missing seperator in line 434. This is where you have to add the tab.

Hope this could help
