Hello to all. I'm trying to install a gnome shell extension to have
icons on the desktop:
https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng
So I tried to install it manually by copying the directory in
"~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ and renaming the directory with
the corresponding uid. The extension appears in my list but when I
activate it, nothing happens.
So I tried to see how the other extensions were packaged to do the same
with this one. So I got a skeleton and adapted it to this one (source
at the end). I get sha25 commit :
- git clone g...@gitlab.com:rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng.git
- go in repo and "git checkout 43"
- guix hash -rx . and get
0n6lrsbvxnsw6nafn6lpw0kyaal0lnnzy995yygsb7xg2imhfch2
Then I tried to run it by putting myself in the directory and running:
guix shell -f gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icon-ng.scm
I get this error and I can't find what's wrong:

Thank you for your attention :)
