I have 2 new computers and installed Pop Shell on either Ubuntu 21.10 or 22.04 by following Using Pop Shell on other GNOME Desktops

sudo apt install git node-typescript make
git clone
cd shell
make local-install

There is no icon of Pop Shell on the top panel after the installation and moreover, the monitor did not wake up after sleep. What should be done next to get Pop Shell work ?

Currently pop-os shell extension uses a certain order of installation steps, that does not work when extension was never install before on your distro (which is the case for fresh Ubuntu installations)

It seems that a change that "fixes" it already exists, but has been dropped for some reasons unclear to me. You can, however, apply it manually, and retry your installation attempt:

sudo apt install git node-typescript make
git clone
git cherry-pick 425f1e4dd851017be80b83cd3eeda803f0ac8f1f
cd shell
make local-install

This worked for me - I have pop-os shell extension running on Ubuntu 22.04.

DISCLAIMER1: 425f1e4dd8 applies cleanly on 15e7acfc8d. This may not be the case in future, if codebase changes

DISCLAIMER2: pop-os shell extension may conflict with some of the default gnome-shell shortcuts. It tries hard to fix that, but at least in my case I have some issues when moving apps between workspaces
