GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 704211
Unable to install Places Status Indicator extension on Fedora 19.
Last modified: 2016-04-26 22:26:39 UTC
Trying to install the "Places Status Indicator" extension via the extensions.gnome.org site: the On/Off slider just goes Off all by itself after confirming the install. No related error reports I can find in .xsession-errors. Have to mention I've migrated my home directory from the previous F18 install, so there might be some residual inconsistencies I'm not aware of.
I have the same problem with fedora 20 (64 bits): the extension won't load, even if installed from the fedora repository and trying to use the 'Gnome Classic" mode. 'lg' shows up following error for this extension : "Error: Argument 'path' (type utf8) may not be null". On the extensions.gnome.org site, the extension appears with a red "ERROR" fla, without any further indication.
I encounter the same problem on Debian 8 jessie 64-bit and Gnome 3.14.1 installed. Exact same message in errors.
This was fixed in 3.16. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 741033 ***
