Description of problem: Some GNOME Shell extensions like System-monitor have a clickable "Preferences..." that is supposed to launch gnome-shell-extension-prefs, but nothing appears.
Note that there are 2 workarounds: - manually launch gnome-shell-extension-prefs and select the according extensionâ¯; - start Tweak Tool, go to the extension section and click on the configuration icon on the left of the slider that (de-)activate the given extension. But that's not very user friendly...
Summary: gnome-shell-extension-prefs failed to load from GNOME Shell extensions () => gnome-shell-extension-prefs fails to load from GNOME Shell extensions (System-monitor)
any log info ?

I was pretty hard to find where the log is: ~/.cache/gdm/session.log So, here is the error reported by the system-monitor shell extension: JS ERROR: !!! Exception in callback for signal: activate JS ERROR: !!! message = '"_gsmPrefs is null"' JS ERROR: !!! fileName = '"/home/davy/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/system-monitor@paradoxxx.zero.gmail.com/extension.js"' JS ERROR: !!! lineNumber = '1772' JS ERROR: !!! stack = '"([object Object],[object _private_Clutter_Event])@/home/davy/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/system-monitor@paradoxxx.zero.gmail.com/extension.js:1772 _emit("activate",[object _private_Clutter_Event])@/usr/share/gjs-1.0/signals.js:124 ([object _private_Clutter_Event])@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/popupMenu.js:113 wrapper([object _private_Clutter_Event])@/usr/share/gjs-1.0/lang.js:204 ([object _private_Shell_GenericContainer],[object _private_Clutter_Event])@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/popupMenu.js:86 wrapper([object _private_Shell_GenericContainer],[object _private_Clutter_Event])@/usr/share/gjs-1.0/lang.js:204 "'
well this is an error in the extension
