gnome-control-center: Ubuntu dock settings is blank

[Scott Cohen]

Upon opening the Dock settings in gnome-control-center, I find that it is blank and devoid from any information or settings. the only thing that is there is a separator line at the very top. Also, I know this should be another bug report, but I want to say that the new gnome-shell for Ubuntu is not showing up for me and instead shows the default gnome-shell.

Thank you for your bug report

The log has that error
"No Ubuntu Dock is installed here. Panel disabled. Please fix your installation."

That message is displayed when the dock gsettings schemas can't be found, what's the output of that command for you?
$ dpkg -l | grep gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock

I got no output when I issue that command. I issued the command "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock" without the quotes and logged out then logged back in and the extension was loaded. Thank you for your help.

What are possible reasons why this wasn't installed when I did a do-release-upgrade? Let alone upgrade while I still was using Ubuntu 17.10?

[Scott Cohen (yetoo)]

Could it be because I'm on the developer's branch?

Just to clarify, the Dock item in the gnome-control-center was populated.
