Ubuntu – Gnome Tweak Tool does not show extensions

extensiongnome-tweak-tool

I cannot use the user the gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme because there is no button on the tweak tool to enable extensions!
I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled the gnome-tweak-tool, no difference. Any suggestions?

I had the same problem. Seems that the file metadata.json has a wrong shell-version. At least for Ubuntu 11.10. To solve the issue I had to:

  • cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
  • cd into the desired extension directory.
  • edit the metadata.json file and change
 
"shell-version": [ "3.3.2" ] 
to 
"shell-version": [ "3.2" ],
  • logout from Gnome-Shell and login again. Now you should see all the estensions in gnome-tweak-tool.
