[root@new-host tai]# yum install gnome-shell-extensions
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Repository base is listed more than once in the configuration
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

No package gnome-shell-extensions available.
Error: Nothing to do

PS: I don't have anything in /etc/yum.repos.d can that be the problem?

There is no package "gnome-shell-extension". The packages for the various extensions are named: gnome-shell-extension-xxx.
Which extension do you want to install?

To list all extenstion packages:

Code: Select all

yum list gnome-shell-extension-\*

To install the all:

Code: Select all

yum install gnome-shell-extension-\*

It's not called gnome-shell-extensions which is why you cannot find it like that. There are numerous packages, all called gnome-extension-$something and you can get a list by running yum list gnome-extension\*

I'm not sure why you think /etc/yum.repos.d is empty when yum is clearly listing and checking base, epel, extras, rpmfusion-free-updates, rpmfusion-nonfree-updates and updates repos.

I installed these:

to configure shell extensions using Chrome (actually Vivaldi).
