  • I commented out all the lines are rebooted computer. Issue persists.

    head -10 /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/* ==> /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/extensions <==

    Lock the list of enabled extensions

    #/org/gnome/shell/disable-user-extensions #/org/gnome/shell/enabled-extensions #/org/gnome/shell/development-tools

    ==> /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/extensions-mandatory <==

    Lock the list of mandatory extensions

Working solution. This fixed it.

Commented out lines as shown below

head -10 /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/*
==> /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/extensions <==
# Lock the list of enabled extensions
#/org/gnome/shell/disable-user-extensions
#/org/gnome/shell/enabled-extensions
#/org/gnome/shell/development-tools

==> /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/extensions-mandatory <==


Lock the list of mandatory extensions


#/org/gnome/shell/enabled-extensions
#/org/gnome/shell/development-tools

Reloaded the db.

sudo dconf update

Run following line OR use dconf-editor

gsettings set org.gnome.shell development-tools true
