Hi guys, I am fairly new to Ubuntu can someone help me solve this error please ? I am trying to install App indicator, attaches screenshot of error I am getting and it looks to me like i have the gnome extension installed, what am I doing wrong ?
You need chrome-gnome-shell or gnome-browser-connector. The former is obsolete and replaced by the latter but probably still used on Ubuntu.

You could also just install the Extension Manager app.

I ran into this issue in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
chrome-gnome-shell has been made a transitional package in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS which actually installs 'gnome-browser-connector' package as it’s dependency, as shown below.
~# apt install chrome-gnome-shell
The following additional packages will be installed:
gnome-browser-connector gnome-shell-extension-prefs
The following NEW packages will be installed:
chrome-gnome-shell gnome-browser-connector gnome-shell-extension-prefs
...
chrome-gnome-shell has been removed in Ubuntu 24.10, as it’s been replaced by gnome-browser-connector from 24.10.
