gnome extensions do not work for me under gnome 4.1. I have tried all this:

https://nixos.wiki/wiki/GNOME

services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.gdm.enable = true;
services.gnome.chrome-gnome-shell.enable = true;

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
gnomeExtensions.caffeine
     gnome.gnome-tweaks    
     gnome.adwaita-icon-theme
     gnomeExtensions.appindicator
     gnome.gnome-shell-extensions
     gnome.gnome-settings-daemon
     chrome-gnome-shell
]

gnome extensions do not work for me under gnome 4.1. I have tried all this:

Unfortunately, nothing is displayed for me. I also tried installing the extensions via firefox and chrome. I deleted all extensions and installed them again. Nothing happens.

I would be very grateful for any tips.

they’re installed, but extensions have to be enabled manually (or via some other explicit step in home manager, for example)

Run the “extensions” app and turn them on:

For some, they may not yet be compatible with 41. There’s another recent thread about that.

I always searched in the tweak tools for “extensions”. facepalm

One more question, maybe you can help me there.
I get the following error with an extension:

Requiring GMenu, version none: Typelib file for namespace ‘GMenu’ (any version) not found.

And in which package is this included?
haskellPackages.gi-girepository ?

Thanks

That means the extension is not patched properly, see Nixpkgs 23.11 manual | Nix & NixOS.
