I had the same problem for a few days.
Run "Advanced Settings" (I think this is "gnome-tweak-tool), and click on the "Shell Extensions" section.
You can then slide any existing extension as "ON".

I wanted the mail-notification, system monitor and weather panels - but ended up using the ones from https://extensions.gnome.org/
The system monitor from that page crashes my gnome, so I still haven't found a good one to install in the top panel yet. I ended up install gnubiff.

Did you read what Hangaber wrote regarding gnome-tweak-tool?

The Shell Extensions you listed are part of the "gnome-shell-extensions" package.

What are you looking for ... an alternate launcher menu that you can edit, some quick-launch icons on your panel, or something else?
If so - check out the gnome extensions website I mentioned above. There is probably an extension to suit your needs, and they will integrate with your "gnome-tweak-tool" settings.

Note: I'd recommend writing down which extensions you like enabled. In the event that a particular extension causes an issue, Gnome may disable *all* your extensions.

first, sorry for my careless reading and lack of basic knowledge about Gnome.

I understood this:
Quote:
Run "Advanced Settings" (I think this is "gnome-tweak-tool), and click on the "Shell Extensions" section.
You can then slide any existing extension as "ON".
that I just need to go
Advanced Setting >> Shell Extensions and make any "ON".

I understood this:

that you are just saying about yourself in friendly manner.

thank for your this fully explanation:

. it is the basic knowledge I needed before posting here.

Hi,

it looks like you need to install the gnome-tweak-tool package.

I can't install extensions from www.extensions.gnome.org.
on that site, I made "ON", the message "Do you want to download and install this extension" appeared.
I clicked on "Install". that's all. then nothing appears and never install extension I tried.
that may be because of my Gnome version. it is 3.4.2, just I think.

now, the solution for me is this:

I'm also using Gnome v3.4.2, although I am using google-chrome. Maybe that is why the website works for me. (Update: It works for me in iceweasel too.)
When I first visited the site, I was asked to install the browser extension plugin.

When you clicked "ON" for the extension you wanted, it should have extracted in to;
~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

I tried with both of Iceweasel and Chromium. my browsers have Gnome Integration plugins enabled.
and also I tried with "No Proxy" in browser's network setting and "None" in Gnome's network setting.
But I can't install them.

So, I reported bug about that and a matainer resent an email like this:
Quote:
Hi, I'm the maintainer for Remove Accessibility. Sadly, I can't help you with your problems with the Gnome Shell, first of all, because, well I'm not a maintainer of that project and I don't know any of the common bugs and problems. You should have more luck asking in a gnomeshell IRC channel. Surely, you can find someone there to help you
well, that's all. Done!

btw, could you please do me a favour.
I needs some extensions. they are
-Remove Universal Access
-Media Indicator
-Panel setting

if it is possible, copy them from your ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions directory,
compress them as .tar.gz and send to my email msh2nfrou@gmail.com

I need them and I want to test them by manually installation.
only if it is possible, do as I say.
or otherwise, it's ok. just forget it.

Sent.

https://extensions.gnome.org/extensi...yer-indicator/ - Works for me
https://extensions.gnome.org/extensi...-accesibility/ - Works for me (I had this one already)
https://extensions.gnome.org/extensi...anel-settings/ - Failed "ERROR". I sent it anyway.

You can download some of these extensions from the "Extension Homepage" (if they have one).
For example; if you go to "Panel Settings" on the gnome extensions website, it has a listed 'extension homepage' as https://github.com/eddiefullmetal/gn...ell-extensions
Then, if you go to that site, click on "zip" and you can obtain the extension and additional files.
