Hello,
My PC restarted and when I logged in I noticed none of my extensions were enabled. I then opened up “extensions” and noticed it was disabled so I tried flipping the switch to enable but immediately once this is done my screen goes black and I get logged out. I then log back in and the same thing happens if I try to enable it.
I have no idea how to debug this, any idea what I should do? I really need the gnome extension for my daily productivity.
Thanks!
Hello @rebornosday 
Could you tell me your Gnome version?
pacman -Q gnome-shell
Also, is the system fully updated?
sudo pacman -Syu
Hey thanks for the response, yes it is updated. I still have “corrupt database” issues in the GUI updater (I posted here a few weeks back) but I get around it via terminal.
Here is Gnome and current update status via terminal:
I just went through and removed all the extensions I added so now no “user-installed” ones are on my system but still the issue persists:
Your gnome is outdated, now the version is 1:43.1-1
Thanks for catching that @Rodrigo_Chile ! I completely missed it.
@rebornosday Can you share your /etc/pacman.conf? Perhaps you don’t have the right repositories, or you need to run
sudo pacman -Syyu
Thanks @Rodrigo_Chile and @shivanandvp yes I think I have repo issues. You can see the issues I had here:
I updated mirrorlist as recommended in the above thread to UK servers ( /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist) but it really never fully fixed my issues. I always have to run the following for some reason as I get an error on this file after I run an update via terminal:
sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/sync/multilib.db
I just ran:
sudo pacman -Syyu
and my output was a ton of warnings all saying “warning: ‘program name’ local is newer than extra ‘program name’”

Let me know how it goes.
Do you have Realtek 8821 hardware? If not, uninstall that package (rtl8821ce-dkms-git or rtl8821cu-dkms-git). Also, was this an offline installation from the ISO?
Looks like I have:
Device-1: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet
So I guess I can remove that. Extensions is up and working, thank you! I just have one last issue that still remains. Here is what I see in the GUI:
When I click “apply” I get a bunch of these popups:
Then eventually it ends with:
sudo pacman -R rtl8821ce-dkms-git
sudo pacman -R rtl8821cu-dkms-git
Uninstall “pamac” this way
sudo pacman -R pamac-aur
and reinstall it
sudo pacman -S pamac-aur
Finally upgrade:
sudo pacman -Syyu
@rebornosday Ah. No problem. This is an old install that uses cosmic packages
sudo pacman -Rdd pamac-aur libpamac-aur
(Need to list libpamac-aur separately just this time because we are skipping dependency checks to work around the cosmic package)
sudo pacman -Syyu
sudo pacman -S --needed pamac-aur
(This should automatically install libpamac-aur as a dependency, if the upgrade does not already install them)
Sorry I had forgot to respond to your ISO question. Yes this is an older install from around April 2021. I grabbed the ISO and flashed to a USB drive to install reborn.
So I did the above and I still get the ceph-libs-bin failed message in the GUI. Here is a screenshot of it all:
One of the below may not be present
sudo pacman -Rdd ceph-libs
sudo pacman -Rdd ceph-libs-bin
sudo pacman -S polkit polkit-gnome
Woohoo that did it, it’s gone! Thank you sooo much may you have a great day 
You too have a great day
