flameshot autostart problem

[holazt]

After flameshot setting Launch at startup, restart machine and then flameshot no longer shows the system tray icon, but the program has been running in the background.

Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon

P.S. But on the Fedora 28, 'Launch at startup' is OK.

The same issue on arch

The same.

Is it duplicate of #18?

Anyway, I think if Flameshot has Launch at startup option — it should works well, especially in popular GNOME 3.

@AlexWayfer On Fedora 28 GNOME 3, it works OK.

Arch Linux. Doesn't work OK. :disappointed:

I solved the problem adding a 10 sec delay at the startup.

Arch haven't startup delay =(

[anfabio]

You could try to insert a delay manually using something like: /bin/bash -c "sleep 10; /usr/bin/flameshot &"

I just comment my case in other similar issue. https://github.com/lupoDharkael/flameshot/issues/403#issuecomment-441126951

Same problem on Ubuntu 18.10.

@anfabio comment did the trick though, thanks man!

I had this issue on Manjaro Xfce. Recently Xfce has been updated on Manjaro and now the problem solved on my end but I'm not sure if xfce update fixed it or not. Xfce version 4.14-pre1 28

I have this problem in Wayland/Gnome/Fedora 33 When "Launch at startup" configuration option is checked, after Fedora boots, I do not see flameshot in the status bar. I try to launch it, it still does not appear. I check the running processes, flameshot is there running. I kill it, relaunch it manually, it appears finally.

Another workaround when using GDM as Display Manager (e.g. Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS):

1. Create ~/bin/start_flameshot.sh:

   
   #!/bin/bash

Wait until gdm starts the X session (login)

until pgrep gdm-x-session; do sleep 5; done sleep 5

flameshot

2. Allow script execution:
```bash
$ chmod +x ~/bin/start_flameshot.sh

3. Create the Startup Application

I can see the same issue in Ubuntu 20.10, GNOME Shell 3.38.2. I'm able to reproduce it with flameshot installed any way: From snap (Ubuntu Software) or over apt install flameshot. The issue is that when I login, flameshot process is running on background, but no tray icon appears.

Workaround: Kill the process and run manually

Used SW:

$ flameshot --version
Flameshot v0.8.3-2(Debian)
Compiled with Qt 5.14.2
