A GNOME Shell extension that shows the status of the NVIDIA GPU in an Optimus laptop.

gnome-shell-extension-bumblebee-status's Issues

Error starting on gnome-shell 3.36

I get this error in journalctl output, and the extension fails to start.

I'm on gnome-shell 3.36 on Arch Linux.

Sounds like it's related to these changes in gjs:

GPU model name not read consistently

Sometimes the indicator shows the GPU name correctly (when it is on), but often it just shows "Unknown On":

This is the content of my GPU information file (/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0000:01:00.0/information):

Model: 		 GeForce GTX 1050
IRQ:   		 133
GPU UUID: 	 GPU-ab81df4f-3497-35ed-6806-b338ce146865
Video BIOS: 	 86.07.3c.00.d4
Bus Type: 	 PCIe
DMA Size: 	 47 bits
DMA Mask: 	 0x7fffffffffff
Bus Location: 	 0000:01:00.0
Device Minor: 	 0
Blacklisted:	 No

Thanks!

This is a request

It's a nice job you did. This extension succedes where other fail (especially after a replace command). However it would be nice to be able to use it just as a normal indicator (even always present).
Thank you for your work anyway.

Doesn't work on GNOME 3.32

Fails with

TypeError: _bumblebeeIndicator is undefined
TypeError: this._construct is not a function
