Hello, I am new to Manjaro and just installed 21.0.5 GNOME on an Ideapad Flex 5. However, I can not enable window tiling / Pop-Shell. I found a toggle button in Layouts Switcher/Settings which I can toggle on and close the window, but it on does not work. Tilling is not enabled and the toggle button if back in the off-position when I reopen Layouts Switcher and check. Any ideas?
Hi and welcome to the forum
Possible solution for your issue: Relevant info
Hmm, I thought it was supposed to automatically install any missing extensions.
EDIT: Pop Shell is no longer installed by default on newer ISOs.
Well, just install it from Add/Remove Software or via terminal:
pamac install gnome-shell-extension-pop-shell

**(1) Issue/Bug Description:**
As soon as you start the [Manjaro 21.0.5 Review ISO](https://github.com/manjaro/release-review/releases/tag/202105140823) either in VirtualBox or baremetal Gnome-Shell will totally freeze when **Pop-Shell** is activated. We narrowed it down to **[GJS 1.68.1](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/-/tags/1.68.1)** to be the issue. Having the older version **1.68.0** running, it seems to be fine.
**(2) Steps to reproduce (if you know):**
- Start the image as normal and boot into Gnome Shell
- It will freeze in under one minute, in Wayland session you can't even switch to another TTY
---
- Start the image but edit grub entry to boot into run level 3
- login as `manjaro:manjaro`
- install `downgrade` via: `sudo pacman -Sy downgrade`
- downgrade **gjs** to 1.68.0 via: `sudo downgrade gjs`
- either start gnome-shell with `startx` or `dbus-run-session -- gnome-shell --display-server --wayland`
- **Pop-Shell** won't freeze the shell
**(3) Expected behavior:**
**Pop-Shell** should not freeze with newer **gjs**
**(4) Distribution (run `cat /etc/os-release`):**
NAME="Manjaro Linux"
ID=manjaro
ID_LIKE=arch
BUILD_ID=rolling
PRETTY_NAME="Manjaro Linux"
ANSI_COLOR="32;1;24;144;200"
HOME_URL="https://manjaro.org/"
DOCUMENTATION_URL="https://wiki.manjaro.org/"

**(5) Gnome Shell version:**
1:3.38.4+13+gcf9d73ed5-1
**(6) Pop Shell version (run `apt policy pop-shell` or provide the latest commit if building locally):**
<!--
Use triple back ticks ```<value here>``` to paste the apt policy pop-shell value, so it formats nicely
-->
**(7) Where was Pop Shell installed from:**
Official Manjaro Repositories: 1.2.0-1
**(8) Monitor Setup (2 x 1080p, 4K, Primary(Horizontal), Secondary(Vertical), etc):**
One Monitor in VirtualBox
**(9) Other Installed/Enabled Extensions:**
Seems has nothing to do with other extensions .
**(10) Other Notes:**
We may need to debug this by rebuilding **gjs** and **js78** with [debug symbols](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Troubleshooting#Shell_freezes) ...
So that means the extension was not installed. I noticed it wasn’t listed in Extensions but didn’t think about installing it because the toggle button was available. A good lesson for me… excellent, thanks for the hint!

Pop-Shell is broken, so we dropped it.
