running $ journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f -o cat reads as follows:

I believe the line that is key to this issue is this one
Error: Schema org.gnome.shell.extensions.user-theme could not be found for extension material-you-theme@asubbiah.com. Please check your installation

I have the user themes extension installed however

after installing sass using apt it works know... I haven't the words...
