Mate System tray #8

Closed guntherwagenhofer closed 5 years ago

guntherwagenhofer commented 5 years ago

Thanks a lot for the devlopment of the software. You are my hero. I think I have the most done. By moving or turning the pointer I can move the cursor on the screen (so I think the udev rules are set correctly). But there is one problem left. I'm using Ubuntu 18.10 with mate. In my system tray there is no icon and I can't find the tool to change the preferences. It would be nice if you have an idea to solve this problem.

Thanks a lot.

Good morning. Thanks for notifying about the issue. I noticed also on KDE Plasma that the system tray was there but without an actual icon. It could be either that the SVG format is not supported for system tray icons or that Mate and KDE don't like something else about that SVG icon I created (I used Inkscape for it).

So if you replace the icon in the resource file as well as the reference to it in the code it might work. I might be able to try it, but I do not have too much access to my usual (development) environment the next 2 weeks or so.

Had the chance to do a quick update for the icon. Please give it a try with the latest changes on develop.

Thanks a lot for the fast work. Unfortunately it doesn't work yet.

It works for me in a Ubuntu 18.10 Mate Virtual Machine. Built today from latest develop with compiler/Qt/cmake from the Ubuntu repository. See screenshots. I had to install a couple of qtquick qml modules from the repository otherwise the application will complain and not start for missing modules. If this does not help you, please post the cmake and build command lines and output and also the outputput of git describe, so it's easier to see what your setup is.

Now it works for me, too. Thanks a  lot for your help. My first try with Qt5 from the ubuntu-repositories was not successful. So I tried it with the Repository from the Qt-Project. The installation did run with the problem, that the icon didn't appear in the systray. After your hint with the ubuntu-repositories I deinstalled the Qt 5 in /opt and installed it again from ubuntu. After the instatllation of the qtquick qml modules I installed packages which included the missing files etc. Than I ran the installation in order of your description an it works now.

Thanks a lot for your help and for the development of this gimmick!!. It is very nice.
