Install Gnome Shell Extensions 22.04 LTS

  • 772

Using this guide which is for ubuntu 20.04 (and worked successfully in that version with Gnome version 3.36.8) what are the installation requirements in 22.04 LTS to avoid the following error message?

Although GNOME Shell integration extension is running, native host connector is not detected. Refer documentation for instructions about installing connector

I have taken the step $ sudo apt install chrome-gnome-shell but to no avail.

The version of Gnome in 22.04 LTS is v42.0

Have I missed something vital?

  1. Use the extension manager instead, it has lesser steps to getting the extensions compared to getting thru Gnome shell add-on integration with Firefox. Once installed, you can use the GUI and find what's compatible to 22.04.

    sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-manager

    Remember to do your update/upgrade prior to installing the extension manager:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade

    Just to add, because Firefox is now a snap by default. hence, Gnome Extensions can no longer be installed via Firefox in Ubuntu 22.04
