I'm trying to automate the installation of a Gnome Tweaks extension (Dash to Panel) and, at the end, it requires me to restart the Gnome Shell through Alt + F2 + r + Return (I think that Gnome Tweaks requires it too). How would I do it through a bash script?
I've already tried it through a library called xdotool but it won't recognize the final Return (or KP_Enter = numpad return) for some reason.
xdotool key Alt+F2+r+Return
# `xdotool key "Alt+F2+r" && xdotool key "Return"` won't work either
I've also tried commands like gnome-shell --replace or killall gnome-shell but they either kill gnome shell or give me back a bunch of frigtening warning messages on the terminal telling me that something might have been overwritten. If I try Ctrl + C on the terminal after that, then Gnome Shell is gone for good this time and I have to reset my PC.
What is the proper way of doing this?
The warning messages:
$ gnome-shell -r
current session already has an ibus-daemon.

gnome-shell --replaceorgnome-shell -rshould be the right way to do this. Exactly what kind of errors are you seeing after running the command? Please edit your question and add the error messages verbatim.

Warning messages added. Aftergnome-shell --replace, should it end the command or should I have to add a&to disown it? Or is it due to my specific warnings?

I'm trying to automate the installation of a Gnome Tweaks extension (Dash to Panel) and, at the end, it requires me to restart the Gnome Shell through Alt + F2 + r + Return (I think that Gnome Tweaks requires it too). How would I do it through a bash script?
I've already tried it through a library called xdotool but it won't recognize the final Return (or KP_Enter = numpad return) for some reason.
xdotool key Alt+F2+r+Return
# `xdotool key "Alt+F2+r" && xdotool key "Return"` won't work either
I've also tried commands like gnome-shell --replace or killall gnome-shell but they either kill gnome shell or give me back a bunch of frigtening warning messages on the terminal telling me that something might have been overwritten. If I try Ctrl + C on the terminal after that, then Gnome Shell is gone for good this time and I have to reset my PC.
What is the proper way of doing this?
The warning messages:
$ gnome-shell -r
current session already has an ibus-daemon.

Insert some delay before sending Return:
xdotool key "Alt+F2+r" && sleep 0.5 && xdotool key "Return"
