Yes I have installed chrome gnome shell, and that purple background goes to the documentation link. I also added the gnome shell integration add on in Firefox.
Finally the problem was solved. I added the extension manually from the extension.zip file. Thank you for the help.
Yes sir. Thank you.
I have activated the dbus service, it still doesn't work.
I wonder why it doesn't work for you but works for me.
That's what makes me confused, the dbus service is activated but the extension is not automatically in the app extension. Are there any settings missing/wrong?
Yes sir. So I once messed up the rc.conf file due to an error writing hald_enable="YES' so the machine crashed and gave the message
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh.
It's just going to be ignored, it certainly won't crash the system.
I've only been using FreeBSD for two weeks. Of course there are concerns when the machine crashes like that.
Yes, gdm_enable, and lightdm_enable. No conflicts at startup. Is one enough?
Oh yes, previously I used xfce. OK, I'll delete lightdm. Thank You.
My machine crashed once too when I was on gnome.
Now using XFCE or KDE-Plasma?
No, I am using dwm. I was installed gnome to the new boot environment that i created to test your problem.
True but if a person wants to play, or in my case show off window managers for those who think a window manager is the O/S, I use Xnest to log into my xdm and select alternate window managers and environments to show off FreeBSD(1). Some people love CDE on my desktop while others feel it's dated, the reason why I use Xnest and have additional windowing environments installed on my laptop.
Oh, there are certainly ways to have multiple, but for new users it's much better to keep things simple. They can try all this when they're a bit more experienced and actually understand what each component does and how it all fits together. When you're new to this "world" it's already overwhelming enough.
