Icons not shown in KDE

[jsalatas]

I'm using KDE neon (plasma 5.8.2) and the icon isn't shown in systray.

Hello @jsalatas. Can you give me some other information? What version of which distro are you using? What method did you use to install it (PPA or the setup script included in this repository)?

[jsalatas]

I'm using KDE neon user edition (https://neon.kde.org/)

I installed it using the ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 as described here http://www.webupd8.org/2016/10/prime-indicator-plus-makes-it-easy-to.html

Also in my ~/.config/prime-indicator/prime-indicator.cfg I tried both iconset = color and iconset = theme-default but none of them worked.

Thanks for your quick response!!!

[andrebrait]

You're welcome. I receive notifications whenever someone opens a issue, so it doesn't take me much time to notice this hahaha.

Can you run it manually in the terminal, copy any output that appears and paste it here?

To do so, run

$ /usr/lib/prime-indicator/prime-indicator as your regular user

[jsalatas]

Running it from a terminal doesn't produce any output. However I get some errors in plasma's output

Having

iconset = color

I get

Registering ":1.134/org/ayatana/NotificationItem/PRIME_Indicator" QQuickItem::stackAfter: Cannot stack after 0x5cf9b80, which must be a sibling

Having any of the other three options

iconset = theme-default

iconset = symbolic

color(#ffffff)

I get the same message

kde.systemtray: Wrong IconThemePath "/home/john/.config/prime-indicator/icons-symbolic" : too short or does not end with 'icons'

[andrebrait]

I see. They must have implemented this check in newer versions. I'll fix the path but I'll also check with the KDE devs if this should really be happening.

On a small note, the correct option for white icons would be custom(#ffffff), not color(#ffffff).

[andrebrait]

Out of curiosity, how did you get the output from plasma? System logs? Although I like KDE a lot, I'm not as experienced with it as I am with GNOME. I'm planning on starting to contribute to KDE, so it would be good to know where I'd get such error messages.

[jsalatas]

if you run the following commands in a terminal

killall plasmashell kstart plasmashell

it will restart plasma and it will give you the terminal prompt back. However in the terminal you run it, it will output some logs

[andrebrait]

Wow. Useful.

Commit a4fe029125884fe8f529f6c8c80b4338e6d76ca2 should have fixed this sittuation. Please replace the file in your installation (/usr/lib/prime-indicator/prime-indicator) with the one in this repository

[jsalatas]

That didn't work :(

Now whatever I put in iconset I get

Registering ":1.164/org/ayatana/NotificationItem/PRIME_Indicator" QQuickItem::stackAfter: Cannot stack after 0x5cf9b80, which must be a sibling

[andrebrait]

@jsalatas can you please test it using the script as of commit a5ff3c5f34bbbccf225e41e8bd29384559d862fb ?

[jsalatas]

It works!

Tested with all four options for iconset

[andrebrait]

I'm very happy to hear (read) that!

Have you tested switching between cards, etc?

I closed your pull request since commit a5ff3c5f34bbbccf225e41e8bd29384559d862fb fixed the issue. Thanks a lot, since your solution ended up serving as base to the one I made.

[jsalatas]

Yes! Switching and everything works.

Thanks for your effort! :smile:

[andrebrait]

Great! I'm closing the issue then. Thanks a lot, too! ;)
