Hello,
Hoping I could get some guidance on why my extensions prefs window will not populate. I only get this error on a RHEL 8 machine going through horizon client. On a thick client, there are no issues. This issue does not happen on our RHEL 7 systems. The Shell Extensions window pops up but it is just a blank white window. Settings/Permissions issue?
OS: RHEL 8
Thin Client: 10zig Ubuntu (vmware-view 2111)
Horizon: 2111
Error:
$ gnome-shell-extension-prefs

Thank you,

I get the same problem on Horizon 8.6 2206.
VMWare supply a replacement gnome-shell-3.32.2-9.el8.x86_64/libgnome-shell.so in this build which replaces the OS supplied one.
The OS supplied version is 3.32.2-40, so VMWare performs a downgrade of an RPM installed library by just copying the VMWare version over the top.
Re-installing the gnome-shell package restored the preferences dialog for me.
However I do not know what this breaks. I suspect this is SSO related.
Thank you for the update. I will give this a shot and see if it fixes my issue.
