printf 'Desktop: %s\nSession: %s\n' "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" "$GDMSESSION"
to check, which window-manager is currently activated.
In case of
Desktop: GNOME
Session: gnome-classic
you are using gnome-classic and should remove it, so it won't be listed under
/usr/share/xsessions
Regardless, for pre-installed systems, you probably want to seek support with whoever set up the system, because we don't know how the system was set up and you likely don't know either.
]]>i worked a few months now with arch and i have to say its really nice and well performing. But now i faced an issue, i got a new computer for work with pre-installed arch.
The thing is, the activities-button on the left in the topbar is missing. What is also missing, is the search-bar, when clicking the button (opt / start) for opening the activities overview. The dock is also missing.
When i press the "opt / start / windows"-button, the interface looks like this:

Can you help me please? What can i do? I reviewed a lot of issues รก la "activities overview not working / missing / broken" / "activities search bar missing" but none of them were describing my current issue or fixing it.
I am on "5.13.5-arch1-1" and using gnome-shell "40.5". Which package-versions or config-file should i provide?
Kind regards
