System try icon gone, notifier working #240
Comments
Hey @PixsaOJ, thanks for reporting this! Can you run this command to start the notifier manually and then post the output? You might need to close the currently running one in some way. |
What is notification watcher, I am not on KDE ➜ ~ /opt/safing/portmaster/portmaster-start notifier

@dhaavi seems like it assumed that I'm on KDE because it's Manjaro or something. |
This is probably a gnome issue. You should report it there. It works fine on my Manjaro Gnome laptop but not on the desktop computer. |
I disagree. The program is searching KDE notifier watcher while it should be watching Gnome thing. |
I know that there's no difference but I installed KDE first and then Gnome, on my laptop I had Gnome preinstalled. That is a difference.
|
Yes, it does not work on GNOME but that does not mean its GNOME's fault |
It does work on gnome on my laptop. It does not work on gnome on my desktop computer which had kde installed first but now has gnome. |
It is possible to install "AppIndicator and KSattusNotifierItem support" extension but that just breaks my setup, It is hacky fix. I would not recommend. Better to have Gnome 42 support. |
Hey @PixsaOJ, thanks for logs! Also, thanks @arch-user-france1 for helping out here! What you saw with The error you receive seems to be caused by the appindicator system being missing. Gnome stopped shipping with one by default some time ago. Ubuntu then started to shipping this for their Gnome DE instead: https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator (Works great!) There is now a FAQ entry for this: #242 |
Okay, so here I have installed The reason why installing extension would not work is that that extension is a UI fix, not a back-end fix for providing this This could not be a fix because it does not replace the original dependency we are looking for. It adds a UI element which works on its own and does not care about other extensions. Other apps have try icons and they are working. Therefore, the right fix would be to support the official Gnome4 way of displaying the icon. Installing that extension will brake my Desktop's look. |
We currently only support the cross-distro way of handling the tray icon. So this is expected behavior. Regarding supporting Gnome's own indicator system, please open a feature suggestion issue with more details, especially if you could link to the spec and possible libraries, that would be a help. |
Will do @dhaavi. Thanks for the help! |
What happened:
Portmaster icon is gone from tray icons. Sometimes I see blank icon of something. It stays for couple seconds and after it deletes itself.
What did you expect to happen?:
To have system try icon shown.
How did you reproduce it?:
Probably installing latest Manjaro Gnome edition?
Debug Information:
I am deducting everything else in logs because its too big and I did not find related info. It probably happens on boot time.'
I am on Manjaro Gnome edition.
GNOME Shell 42.1
Also using extension called Try Icons to hide them.
This might need better debug log, let me know.
All the notifications are working BTW.
