fthx / no-overview Goto Github PK

Thanks for this extension, however, there are two problems when the extension is enabled:

1. It is almost impossible to leave the overview via clicking on something or pressing SUPER. The only thing that works for me is clicking on Activities several times.
2. The first typed character in the overview is repeated several times in the search box (instead of once), or the typing is ignored.

Tested on Fedora 35, GNOME Shell 41.4 on Wayland.

Hi there, thank you for adding this functionality.

It looks like enabling this extension stops applications in ~/.config/autostart/ from actually starting up when logging in. Gnome version 40.4.0 with no other extensions enabled.

Thx for your extension, it's very useful to me.
But I also found new problem. When I press the win button, I still found this overview. So I want to know how to solve this problem,thanks.

So, with the extension enabled, if I hit 'Super' key, to get the overview, it is hidden away automatically.
I have to hit 'Super' key a second time to get the overview as I expect it.

To fix this, I just disabled the extension....

I'd like to monitor the version up in this project with anitya project.

Unfortunately the extension home page is a little difficult to parse the version:
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4099/no-overview/

Probably I think it would help me if you could use git tag when you release the new ZIP file.
E.g. https://release-monitoring.org/project/13778/

I'm using Debian Testing/Bookworm GS 41.
Default behaviour in GS 41 is to show the workspace overview every time a workspace becomes empty or you switch to an empty workspace. Not just at startup/login.
This extension works, but when I disable it, it doesn't restore normal behaviour.

const Main = imports.ui.main;

class Extension {
constructor() {
}

enable() {
    if (!Main.overview._runStartupAnimation) {
        Main.overview._runStartupAnimation = Main.overview.runStartupAnimation;
    }

    Main.overview.runStartupAnimation = (callback) => {
        callback();
    }
}

disable() {
    Main.overview.runStartupAnimation = Main.overview._runStartupAnimation;
}

}

function init() {
return new Extension();
}

``

Currently, this extension is not compatible with Gnome 43.
Thank you in advance!

I know you're not maintaining it anymore, but please just update it to gnome 45, it is essential for my workflow, i need that for work, PLEASE!!!

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4099/no-overview/ shows that 12 is available however here there is no git tag for that version.

I tried this plugin but the login overview still shows up. I added some print statements and basically it just runs too late. The hasOverview flag is set to true by the sessionMode and sessionUpdated is called which pops the window, and then the extension is loaded and sets the overviewflag to false which appears to be too late as best as I can tell.

I tried calling _sync after setting the flag, but that just resets it back to true anyway.

I don't know what controls the extension start order....

Hey There, I'm looking to create a Kiosk using gnome 42.5 on ubuntu 22.04. when I attempt to install your extension via firefox it works as expected, however i'm looking to deploy this on mass using ansible, I am able to put the extension directory in
~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/no-overview@fthx

but I can't seem to find a method to enable it. does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

kamilcynk@fedora:~$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 46.alpha

kamilcynk@fedora:~$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 41 (Rawhide)

Could you kindly update extension for gnome 46 and push this to repository?

Can you please provide version for gnome 45

I had to change the following to make this extension work on Manjaro (Arch) with gnome-shell 40.3:

enable() {
-- if (!Main.layoutManager._startingUp) {
-- return;
-- }

Main.sessionMode.hasOverview = false;
++ Main.layoutManager.hideOverview();
Main.layoutManager.connect('startup-complete', () => {
Main.sessionMode.hasOverview = this._realHasOverview
});
}

Greetz...

I don't know what the cause is, but when I update I get this

SSIA, if the extension is enabled, when Ardour 7.2/7.3 would show its splash screen, GNOME Shell would crash. In the case of X11, the desktop session would restart with shell extensions disabled and a subsequent attempt would work. In the case of Wayland, you simply get logged out hard.

This happens with both Ardour 7 installed as an RPM package on Fedora 38, or the flatpak from flathub. A workaround is to start Ardour with the -n command line switch which suppresses the splash screen.

Hello, I updated to gnome 45 and this extension doesn't work anymore?
I have uninstalled it and reinstalled but I still get the overview at startup. (I've restarted the computer of course)

What might I miss ? I've seen other threads where people say it works.

Gnome always starts up in Overview mode even with app enabled.
Running Arch Linux with latest updates and GNOME 45 on Wayland

Any clues?

Hi there!

I love this EXT but unfortunately this isn't compatible with Gnome 44.x series. I'll be happy if you can fix it!

Thank you!

Neither this extension, nor the option on just perfection will prevent the overview mode upon sign-in. This issue only started after the recent update from Ubuntu.

Could you tell me when the release for GNOME 45 will be released?

The GitHub provides the version 45 Zip file but The home page extensions.gnome.org provides the version 15 Zip file.
I think it would be good to have the same version.

Doesn't work with Ubuntu 21.10 daily, the overview continue to be there. This extension is on anyway.
By the way, it works on Fedora!

Hello,

I noticed after enabling this extension, that after logging in (either from a fresh boot or logging out and back in), this extension causes gnome-shell to freeze when I enter overview mode (pressing the super key).

With windows opened from the Applications menu, a few minutes after logging in:

No windows open, after a fresh login and hitting super:

I did confirm that this extension caused it, by disabling it, logging out and back in and trying overview, and the freeze didn't occur. When I enabled it again and logged out and back in again, it froze again immediately upon hitting the super key (second photo). When it's frozen, the windows in overview will highlight when hovering over them to indicate they're the active window, but the only way to un-freeze it is to log out completely and back in again.

OS: Fedora 39
GNOME: 45.2
Kernel: 6.6.4-200.fc39.x86_64
CPU: 13th gen Intel Core i5-1340p
Computer: Framework 13

Thanks,
Cora

On Fedora 37 workstation and gnome 43.2 this extension is very buggy.
When you hit the super key you can't use the search and you can't even get out of the overview anymore.
The only thing you can do then is to log out and then disable this extension.

Maybe it is a combination of the built-in gnome-extentions I am using:

$ gnome-extensions list --enabled

I used this extension in Fedora 36 for a couple of month and it worked fine there, but in Fedora 37 it is definately not stable.

Can anybody confirm that this extension works with Ubuntu 22.04? I cannot see any effect any more.
