Hi
Likely running Wayland rather than Xorg in the GNOME DE?

Can you check via;


echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

If it is wayland, then logout and select Gnome on Xorg from the cog dropdown.

Hi
Doesn’t look like it, even when enabling Nautilus to control the desktop. There was a GNOME Shell extension, but has not been maintained…

Hi
Yes, it would need updating for the latest versions on GNOME Shell… contact the author and see if will consider reviving it, else fork the code and see if you can getting working?
