Status icon not visible on Ubuntu without Appindicator package #182

Open rosencreuz opened 9 years ago

rosencreuz commented 9 years ago

I just installed v1.10 on Ubuntu 14.04 as described in this page. After the installation status icon is not visible anymore. I'm running the redshift-gtk as you can see here Previously I had the version from ubuntu repo (1.8) and status icon was working fine.

Do you have the Appindicator bindings for Python? I think they should be in the package gir1.2-appindicator3.

rosencreuz commented 9 years ago

Actually I didn't. Status icon started working when I installed gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1. Thanks for help.

Great! I think the problem is that Redshift uses a normal status icon if the Appindicator library is not found, and apparently Ubuntu will not show the normal status icons at all.

i use debian jessie with tint2 and openbox. in my case it didn't work until i installed the package python-appindicator. just reporting this here to help other people with similar issues, let me know if i have to open a new issue

Hi, I'm on Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 Installed the official redshift 1.8 and then icon won't show up. I then installed gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 and it didn't work. python-appindicator was already installed.

Any ideas ? (By the way, this (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/685/redshift/) looked like an idea but it doesn't work either - just won't install).
