I installed Netspeed and Nightlight slider extensions to my Gnome 3 but these are not working even after I restarted the gnome and then the whole OS. I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04.

    Ubuntu 18.04 uses Gnome instead of Unity, and you need to install/enable some things differently.

    Nightlight

    Gnome has this feature built in now.

    Go to settings->devices->display and turn on "Night Light"

    Netspeed

    This is now a Gnome Extension. It, and many other useful extensions can be installed via apt.

    From the command line install extensions and tweak tool:

    sudo apt install gnome-shell-extensions gnome-tweak-tool

    You will need to reboot, then run:

    gnome-tweaks

    and you can then enable the desired extensions by clicking the extension button on the left of the window.
