If you close the client window you can't open it again clicking on the taskbar icon (single or double). You must right click and select "Show/Hide SchildiChat".

OS: Manjaro-Mate SchildiChat from AUR 1.7.24.sc1-1

Thank you and regards

That's an upstream electron bug we can do nothing about, see here: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/14941#issuecomment-756029708 My solution is to remove libappindicator.

DerSaxxe commented 3 years ago

Thank you. I removed libappindicator and replaced some other applications with alternatives that depends on libappindicator. Now it works as expected.

For the schildichat-desktop-bin Arch Linux AUR package, there's the workaround to create those two files in /opt/SchildiChat: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/14941#issuecomment-679932435

Maybe those could/should be incorporated in the package. For the git and non-bin variant, this is probably not possible to include in the package as they use system electron. Thus, those files probably need to be created there.

@su-ex that solution worked perfectly for me, thank you! Seems like the upstream issue, while not fixed, is quite active-- so maybe it'll get fixed fairly soon.

For future reference if people stumble across this, exact commands for workaround for schildichat-desktop-bin in Arch's AUR:

# mock out 
sudo touch /opt/SchildiChat/libappindicator3.so
sudo touch /opt/SchildiChat/libappindicator3.so.1
# restart SchildeChat to pick up changes
