I'd like to automatically install and configure a gnome-shell extension, specifically the Simpler Off Menu. What I achieved so far is to download the extension, then expand the archive with correct privileges and the correct name into /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/. The effect is that when I install and run gnome-tweaks I can see the extension but it is still deactivated and after activation still needs to be configured.

All documentation I find is about GUI handling. How can I activate and configure an extension (or specifically this one) so that it is active similar as the Ubuntu default ones (Desktop Icons, Ubuntu AppIndicators, Ubuntu Dock)?

The activation of a gnome-shell extension can be triggered with 'dconf' from the command line.

See the Gnome documentation for detailed installation and activation instructions.

See the Ask Ubuntu Forum for detailed configuration instructions.
