Hi! Which system do you use? Please, provide OS & GNOME versions

Hi there, we are running it on EndeavourOS Linux 5.11.15-arch1-2 with Gnome 40.0-1 actually first I thought it may be caused by wireless network but today after a resume on wired network I had to restart it again. It seems sometimes just stop working, sometimes after resume sometimes after the screen went black. I keep a eye on it.

I have the same problem with Fedora 34 + Gnome 40.0.0

Will dig into this, thanks!

Facing the same issue, I freshly installed Fedora 34 (Gnome 40).

Happens the same to me in Fedora 34 (Gnome 40)

@Rafablues94, on RunCat v12? I've tried to fix the bug in this version. It's hard to reproduce the bug :-(
If you have any steps to reproduce the issue, please leave a comment.

@Rafablues94, @prasadpatil25, @Gohub007, @hparlak: does the issue still occur?

Yeah, it keeps happening. Last time was today after a reboot, the percent showed 0 until I disabled and enabled the extension.

It can be reproduced after putting the computer to sleep and waking it up again.

A quick fix (and temporal fix) can be to restart the extension when double-clicked.

Same problem in Manjaro 21.1.0 with Gnome 40.3.0 with X11. It stops working when screen locks.

I have the same issue and this error message pops up in the logs:

JS ERROR: Error: Argument interval: value is out of range for uint32

@Elinvention, @KaboomPhysicist, @prasadpatil25, @Rafablues94, @hparlak, @Gohub007,
I've released version 15 with a probable fix of the issue. It will be available in a couple of days on extensions.gnome.org.
Please, send some feedback about the issue in the new release.

P.S. @Elinvention, thank you for the error message!

I still have the same issue after update. This is the message in the logs:

JS ERROR: Error: Argument interval: value is out of range for uint32
_addTimeout@/home/cs/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/runcat@kolesnikov.se/timer.js:38:28

The extension works after restarting the Gnome Shell, but it keeps freezing after a suspension or log out.

Gnome version: 40.4.0

New version is available only for GNOME 3.38, 40 and 41

I still have the same issue after update. This is the message in the logs:

Thank you, I'll keep trying to fix the issue

Chiming in to say I'm also experiencing this on Fedora 34 + Gnome 40.4
Just downloaded the extension today and gotta say, I love the cute cat.
I have the following configuration:

So I pressed Super + L and went afk for a while. Returned, and resumed work and the cat was sleeping. I tried locking and unlocking again, suspending and reopening my computer, both together, but nothing works. I also tried reinstalling the extension, but the cat is still sleeping. This is what the cat looks like, even though I'm actively using my computer:

Edit: The screen went off by itself after 5 minutes of inactivity, I resumed my work and the cat was back at it. I don't know what happened here. Maybe this is a different issue?

@Netherquark, @KaboomPhysicist, @Gohub007: please, install v17 from https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2986/runcat/. If the bug will happen again, please, reopen the issue

Thanks to @nirfse for testing!
