What can cause gnome-shell/gnome-tweaks to fail?
Ubuntu 18.10, python3.7.1, GNOME Tweaks, etc. installed.
Could installing a source build of python3.7.1 cause this issue? And how to debug?
I have tried a number of different ways to repair gnome-shell problems to no effect.
From the google-chrome extensions plugin: I see:
Unable to locate GNOME Shell settings or version. Make sure it is installed and running.
And if I try:
/usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/gnome-shell
I see:
File "/usr/bin/gnome-shell", line 1
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character 'xfc' in file /usr/bin/gnome-shell on line 2, but no encoding declared; see http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details
And attempting to launch 'GNOME Tweaks' fails:
sudo /usr/bin/gnome-tweaks
(gnome-tweaks:25453): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 15:29:44.666: g_dbus_proxy_new_sync: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed
WARNING : Shell not installed or running
WARNING : Error detecting shell

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gtweak/tweaks/tweak_group_shell_extensions.py", line 217, in __init__
raise Exception("Shell not running or DBus service not available")
...
And:
sudo /usr/bin/gnome-tweaks
Gives:
(gnome-tweaks:25453): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 15:29:44.666: g_dbus_proxy_new_sync: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed
WARNING : Shell not installed or running
WARNING : Error detecting shell
Traceback .....
Purging and reinstalling gnome-shell and 'GNOME Tweaks' does not help. And
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop
didn't help.
I also tried:
sudo gnome-shell --replace
which caused the display to blink, but didn't help either.
Any thoughts?
