Persian Calendar for Gnome-Shell

An extension for Gnome-Shell to show Persian date and calendar

Installation:

Recommended way:

• Go to the official Gnome Shell Extensions website: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/240/
• Click on the “ON/OFF” button on the top-right of the page.
• If you don't see the extension, go to the troubleshooting section.

For developers:

• Clone the repository
• Go to the cloned directory
• run make command in the terminal
• Restart Gnome-shell. (ALT+F2, r, Enter)
• You may need to enable the extension via GNOME Extensions application

Troubleshooting:

• I don't see the ON/OFF button, or it's disabled, but I see a blue message on top of the website, with a message like: “To control GNOME Shell extensions using this site you must install GNOME Shell integration that…”. What should I do?
  • In this case, you must install the chrome-gnome-shell package on your system. For example, on Ubuntu, you should run: sudo apt install chrome-gnome-shell
• I enable the extension, but it doesn't appear and when I refresh the page, it's disabled again! Why?!
  • If you don't have gnome-tweaks, first install it. Then open it and go to the “extensions” section. There is a button in the title bar of the window, make sure it's enabled.
  • If you cannot see the “extensions” section in the gnome-tweaks application, congratulation, you are using a more up-to-date version of Gnome, so in this case, please use the gnome-extensions application and make sure the button is enabled.
• If none of the above works, you can install Extension Manager, then install and activate the Persian Calendar extension through it. Extension Manager is a tool for managing GNOME Shell Extensions.
• The extension seems to work, but the settings window in extension manager reports the following message "Error: Requiring Clutter, version none: Typelib file for namespace '`Clutter'"
  • This error is a result of some clutter libraries no longer being bundled with your OS if you use Ubuntu, please open a terminal and execute $sudo apt install -y gir1.2-gtkclutter-1.0
  • Or equivalent command for your distribution, and restart your windows manager or log out and log back in.
