Tray icon disappeared [still unsolved, please look – new information!] #723

Open 6lancmange opened 5 years ago

I use Redshift with the little lightbulb at the top bar so I can check the current temperature or suspend the application. But yesterday I noticed that the lightbulb icon is gone. There's nothing in its place, it's just not there. The app is running, though. I have recently installed various packages to get settings for a Wacom tablet working, and it could be related – but I have no idea how and what to check. Help, I need the options provided by the icon available.

Software versions (please complete the following information):

Hi, not sure if this could be helpful for you? https://github.com/kozec/sc-controller/wiki/Status-icon-on-Gnome

This sounds like any icons wouldn't be working. The Steam tray icon is perfectly fine, though. I installed packages suggested by the first bullet point just in case it helps, though. But the thing you linked to talks about Gnome and icons being broken – they're clearly not broken for me, and I'm not sure if instructions for Gnome can apply 1:1 for Ubuntu.

Seeing as this wasn't a problem and only appeared some time ago, it's probably fixable. Can someone please help? @jonls perhaps? Now I need to suspend Redshift because I connected the laptop to the TV and it looks extremely orange on the TV. Normally I would do it from the tray icon, but now that it's gone, I can't. Is there a way to do it in the terminal?

Looking at the list of commands in the readme, I got an idea – could it be that Redshift started running as the non-GUI version? I'd set it up to run on startup as redshift-gtk. I looked in the nohup file now, and here's what it says:
