Chromium and Hangouts #2

Closed tgurr closed 8 years ago

tgurr commented 8 years ago

I've uninstalled libappindicator and related stuff and installed xembed-sni-proxy (git master), this is how Chromium and the Hangouts plugin show up after logging in to a Plasma session: chromium_and_hangouts Left and right clicking the icons doesn't work.

After killing and restarting chromium multiple times it can end up like this: chromium_and_hangouts2 And left clicking the Hangouts icon opens up the gui window, but right clicking any of Chromium or Hangouts still doesn't do anything.

Thanks

To make sure we're clear; you don't want to be doing that for daily usage. libappindicator directly is obviously the much much better approach.

But I want to fix this as the cause is probably going to affect some other apps that don't have that option.

I've got chromium, how do I make it show those 2 systrays?

I guess you meant not yet for daily usage? Or is the xembed-sni-proxy never meant to be a replacement? I just did it to test and to create a package for our distribution. I also didn't test what happens when both are installed (perhaps the icons show up twice then?).

It comes up when you install the Hangouts Chrome/Chromium plugin: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hangouts/nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd Maybe you also need to install the google-talkplugin/hangouts (system/browser plugin) for it to work: https://www.google.com/tools/dlpage/hangoutplugin Many distributions have packages for it, mostly under the old name google-talkplugin.

Thanks. That's what I needed.

As for the comment. Its not a replacement but a fallback if appindicator can't be used.

Things shouldn't show up twice, ... But client code can do all manner of unpredictable things.

Short update, with the latest changes the icons began to show up, they look a bit tattered hangout3 and not as beautiful as with libappindicator and the background sometimes switches to black: hangout4 but they're displayed now. The left and right clicking however still doesn't work.

With the latest changes everything seems to work fine so far, the background doesn't turn to black anymore, they're scaled properly and left and right clicking them (Chromium/Hangouts) works. The only thing left is that the icons look a bit tattered, but that's not what my issue was about and it doesn't affect functionality.
