Description James 2021-03-07 16:17:48 UTC 
Description of problem:
gnome-shell-extension-freon and gnome-shell in the repos are incompatible.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-40.0~beta-2.20210304git7a57528bd.fc34.x86_64
gnome-shell-extension-freon-43-2.fc34.noarch

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install gnome-shell-extension-freon.
2. Try to enable in Extensions app.

Actual results:
Extension compatibility error.

Expected results:
Extension works, or package removed.

Additional info:
The extension works if "40.beta" is added to the shell-version list in metadata.json.
Comment 1 James 2021-03-07 16:53:58 UTC 
CORRECTION: The extension's settings dialogue does NOT work correctly (although the panel display and drop-down menu work).

Attempting to open the settings leads to:

TypeError: w.show_all is not a function

I've filed https://github.com/UshakovVasilii/gnome-shell-extension-freon/issues/195 to track this.
Comment 2 Audrey Yeena Toskin 2021-03-10 21:56:06 UTC 
Thanks for filing upstream too. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.
Comment 3 Audrey Yeena Toskin 2021-03-11 04:33:20 UTC 
In the meanwhile, I released Freon v43-3 (currently testing in Bodhi), updating the dependencies to show it's incompatible with GNOME 40.
Comment 4 Audrey Yeena Toskin 2021-04-02 19:45:30 UTC 
There is a pull request upstream which purports to fix GNOME 40 compatibility.

  https://github.com/UshakovVasilii/gnome-shell-extension-freon/pull/197

If it is not merged today, or tomorrow, I will test and build it myself based on the contributor's commits, and push an update to the Freon package before the f34 final freeze.
Comment 5 Audrey Yeena Toskin 2021-04-05 16:35:26 UTC 
GitHub user brianegan's pull request looked good to me, but still hasn't merged upstream yet, so I made an updated build of Freon based on the unmerged commit. The updated package is testing in Bodhi now.

  f34 -- https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-5857eb983c
  f35 -- https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-9e9ebbd89e

Give it a try and let me know if you see any remaining issues.
Comment 6 Audrey Yeena Toskin 2021-04-19 01:03:30 UTC 
Between the updates testing on Bodhi and comments on the GitHub issue, I think there's been plenty of confirmation that Freon works on GNOME 40 now... But feel free to reopen, or submit a new ticket, if you're still having issues.
