Aura Glass not showing preferences window

I installed the Aura Glass in my two workstations. Everything went fine, except for one of my computers not displaying a gui window for preferences. I reinstalled Aura in the workstation in question but still does not include the referred window. Any suggestions how to fix this?

Gnome not officially supports Extensions. This means you would have to look with the Developer of the Extension it selves how to fix that.

If you go into the Extension software and click on more details you can give us the exact name of the extension and also the link to the Source Code of the extension. This way you can enter in contact with the developer to see if they can tell what the Issue is.

The Developers want to know what extract versions of Fedora alias Gnome you have installed.
The link helps you to get the necessary information Inxi | the help to help your selves

Thanks for your quick response. If I understand it correctly, the extensions I suspect would be Just Perfection (version 36) and Custom OSD (version 26). No errors are reported, however. This is Fedora 44 with Gnome 50. Inxi, however, is beyond my capabilities :fearful:

How can we improve the instructions that @ilikelinux linked to?

I just can shorten them:

How to install it:

In the terminal you can type sudo dnf install inxi and hit Enter

How to use it:

Run it with the command inxi -Fzxx in the terminal, mark the output and past it into a </> preformatet text field (a black box ). You can also open such a box with Ctrl & E

Click into it and paste the output from inxi.


  

  
( paste code here )

How it should look like:

(If it not looks like this please try again; a uniform appearance helps us to read it faster and to help you better. It also limits the output with scroll bars to avoid scrolling in the Topic over all.).


  

  
 inxi -Fzxx

Here the link to the development (Issues):

Maybe expand on “terminal” for people that are not aware of the command line.
Run “konsole” on kde plasma and “???” on gnome maybe?

This should be changed/updated to inxi -ezxx as the -F flag is depcecated.

I saved it as a wiki, feel free to collaborate. This was the Idea when I made it. You probably better know what else is installed on KDE. I am a Gnome User.

Cool, I’ve done the update.

For what is worth, I finally installed Aura Glass in my Lenovo IdeaPad and everything went OK, including the Preferences GUI displaying.

I was finally able to get the Preferences window, by means of uninstalling Aura Glass and then installing the latest version, 0.2.5. Everything now looks fine.
