Ubuntu 18 requires installation of extra packages to load UI #14

Closed hansr closed 5 months ago

hansr commented 3 years ago

Operating system and version: Linux Ubuntu 18

dDrive version: 0.7.2-8

Problem description: Same user has verified dDrive works on Windows, but when installed on Ubuntu 18, "nothing happens". Upon review of logs, dDrive is started, but the UI / icon is not visible. Requires installation of https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1031/topicons/.

After verifying icon loads, saw that file-syncs only work in one direction (from non-Ubuntu to Ubuntu, not when changed on Ubuntu) - this requires File Notify tools to be installed ("sudo apt install inotify-tools")

Steps to reproduce:

Start with fresh Ubuntu 18 machine
Install dDrive
Run dDrive and note no UI loads
Install https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1031/topicons/ and verify UI now loads
Add a file to the dDrive on the Ubuntu machine and note no file sync action is taken
Install inotify-tools via terminal: sudo apt install inotify-tools
Note now file changes/additions/deletions are now synchronized

I can confirm this.

And even with topicons extension, the tray location is still weird...

Better tray location with the other topicons extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/495/topicons/

Also for proper functioning of the file monitoring the inotify-tools package with inotifywait is required at the moment sudo apt install inotify-tools

UI doesn't load on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS even after installing inotify-tools and the TopIcons Plus gnome extension.

UI doesn't load on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS even after installing inotify-tools and the TopIcons Plus gnome extension.

Did you try both topicons extensions? https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/495/topicons/ ?

I tried https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/495/topicons/, but it encounters an error when installing. Looks like it doesn't support my GNOME version.

topiconsfix works with gnome 3.36.8 to access GUI
