Enable GNOME Shell extensions for all users.

# Enable machine-wide extensions

To make extensions available to all users on the system, install them in the /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions directory. Note that newly-installed machine-wide extensions are disabled by default.

You need to set the `org.gnome.shell.enabled-extensions` key in order to set the default enabled extensions. However, there is currently no way to enable additional extensions for users who have already logged in. This does not apply for existing users who have installed and enabled their own GNOME extensions.

# Setting the org.gnome.shell.enabled-extensions key

Create a `user` profile in /etc/dconf/profile/user:

user-db:user system-db:local

Create a `local` database for machine-wide settings in /etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-extensions:

[org/gnome/shell] # List all extensions that you want to have enabled for all users enabled-extensions=['myextension1@myname.example.com', 'myextension2@myname.example.com']

The `enabled-extensions` key specifies the enabled extensions using the extensions’ uuid (`myextension1@myname.example.com` and `myextension2@myname.example.com`).
