Each time I open Google Chrome on RHEL Workstation v7.7 I get a repeated alert
always saying that an EasyScreenCast shell extension update is available (quite annoying)
(which may be true but any attempt to manually update failed and there is no green icon on the relevant page)

Expected Behaviour

what should happen is that update should be possible IF there really is one available on this OS

Current Behaviour

what happens instead of the expected behaviour is that the alert keeps popping up with no way if disabling it
a simple improvement might be to somehow disable alerts for all gnome shell extension updates (or ideally just this one)

Possible Solution

removing or disabling the extension until required - not ideal though

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

  1. Have a mostly vanilla RHEL7 machine with Chrome Browser and EasyScreenCast extension v1.20 installed
  2. Open Chrome browser

Logs

  • Use journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f to monitor Gnome shell activity. Maybe the crash will log something.

org.gnome.Shell.desktop[3274]: Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x4e00007 (Shell Exte)

  • Log, enable verbose debug logs into options window, and after that try
    journalctl --since=today --no-pager | grep js
  • webcam info:
    v4l2-ctl --all
  • webcam info:
    for VIDEO_DEVICE in /dev/video* ; do echo ; echo ; echo $VIDEO_DEVICE ; echo ; v4l2-ctl --device=$VIDEO_DEVICE --list-inputs ; done
  • webcam info:
    GST_DEBUG=v4l2src:5 gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src num-buffers=1 ! fakesink | grep probed

Your Environment

  • Where did you download the extension? - was built in (on the OS build provided to me by my employer)
    [ ] Gnome shell extension website - also tried updating from here and Github
    [ ] From Git (Add commit tag)

  • Gnome shell version: 1.28 (I think)

  • Operating System and version: RHEL 7.7 (Workstation)

  • Display server: Wayland / X11 / Other - unsure

This has been fixed with 1.3.1. We now use a version, that is bigger than what is provided via extensions.gnome.org in order to avoid this update-problem, if you install the extension manually from source.
