[solved] gTile extension not opening

Post by monica »

I'm using Linux Mint 20.3 (64-bit), cinnamon version 5.2.7, gTile version 2.2.1.

I've installed the gTile extension using cinnamon settings -> extensions. Then I restarted the computer. According to https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/e ... ns/view/76 I should be able to use Super + G to open gTile, but nothing happens. I don't know how to debug the problem from here. Is there an obvious step I've missed? Are there logs I can look at to know if gTile even tried to open?

Edit / solution:
Turns out there's an "enable" button for each extension in the Extentions settings which isn't automatically set. I feel like an idiot :)

Thanks for posting this as I was having the exact same problem and didn't know there was an enable button as well, but figured it out after I found this post.
