Arch - Fixing Gnome extensions

[viking60]

Arch has a small problem since it always is the first, they had put a lot of extensions in AUR and in the repos.
Now since we have this site there is no need to pack all those extensions and it has conflicting potential.
So the archers removed the entire enchilada from the repos even If I still had them installed,
So what to do?
I remembered that all the extensions started with gnome-shell-extension so I went for the mass destruction:

Code: Select all

sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qq | grep gnome-shell-extension)

This found and removed the entire enchilada containing gnome-shell-extension:

Code: Select all

Mål (11): gnome-shell-extension-apps-menu-3.2.1-1  gnome-shell-extension-auto-move-windows-3.2.1-1  gnome-shell-extension-dock-3.2.1-1
          gnome-shell-extension-drive-menu-3.2.1-1  gnome-shell-extension-native-window-placement-3.2.1-1  gnome-shell-extension-places-menu-3.2.1-1
          gnome-shell-extension-weather-git-20120115-1  gnome-shell-extension-windows-navigator-3.2.1-1  gnome-shell-extension-workspace-indicator-3.2.1-1
          gnome-shell-extension-xrandr-indicator-3.2.1-1  gnome-shell-extensions-common-3.2.1-1

So now a simple update would not conflict. But I lost my themes and a lot of good stuff so I needed to install:

Code: Select all

sudo pacman -S gnome-shell-extension-user-theme

This package was in conflict with some of the ones removed above. After that I can now re-install and update all my extensions from:
https://extensions.gnome.org/
Life is good again
