I've been using GNOME Pomodoro already in Ubuntu 21.04 and it worked just fine (installed with sudo apt install gnome-shell-pomodoro). However, I had to reinstall Ubuntu for some unrelated reason and now Pomodoro sort of works, but not properly.

The Pomodoro Window opens and it does it's basic job, but the app icon in the top right corner is missing. Thus I don't see if it is running (usually I'd run it with the window closed). I am also not able to use the keyboard shortcuts (somekey+P to pause/start it).

I have already purged and reinstalled it, restarted the laptop, but still doesn't work

How do I fix this? Any help would be much appreciated!

    Did you also enable it through the gnome-shell-extensions application, or gnome-tweaks?

  • Thank you!! That did the trick :-) This is what worked in the end: 1) sudo apt install gnome-shell-pomodoro 2) Tweaks > Extenstions > Pomodoro > activate

This is what worked in the end:

  1. sudo apt install gnome-shell-pomodoro

  2. Tweaks → Extenstions → Pomodoro → activate.

What worked for me was opening GNOME Extensions → Pomodoro → enable it.
