Tray icons disappeared for early starting applications

h4tr3d commented 6 years ago

 * Cinnamon version 3.6.6
 * Distribution - Manjaro (Arch-based)
 * Graphics hardware *and* driver used: Intel HD Graphics 4000 (i915 kernel driver, Thinkpad T530)
 * 64 bit
* System on HDD, not SSD

Issue Some applications starts during Cinnamon loading and can't access to the system tray. After Cinnamon panel starts, tray area does not show icons for such application. After killing and restarting apps icons in tray is shown.

Affected (at least) apps:

megasync - starts in non-tray mode, just show window in task bar
goldendict - starts in background without icon in tray
insync - starts in background without icon in tray
syncthingtray - show warning dialog that no system tray found

Steps to reproduce

Add above application to the autostart
Use lightdm as DM
Use system on HDD
Make a cold boot and first login

Expected behaviour

Application starts and tray icon appears.

Other information

Note, I add delay to start applications for a 60 seconds... ~~It does not help.~~ It helps in most cases.
Seems that cinnamon starts for a long time for some reasons and applications starting occurs before some fundamental environment setting up, like tray manager or so on.
Same for Collapsible System Tray
Cinnamon restart does not helps (RMB on Panel -> Troubleshooting -> Restart Cinnamon)

Also affected: DropBox Adding a start delay does not solve the issue because with every update the db-client resets the starttime to 0

@h4tr3d are you still experiencing this issue?

h4tr3d commented 4 years ago

@icarter09 I don't know. More year ago I migrated to KDE. Cinnamon caused also problem with my graphics card: random reboots. KDE, Mate, XFCE4 works good.

@MegaV0lt could you please confirm issue?

smurphos commented 4 years ago

@icarter09 - this is still an issue for some applications - e.g. I get it with the HPLIP systray in Mint. Adding a startup delay via the GUI normally does work fine as it copies the startup .desktop item to home so it doesn't get reset by app updates.

@h4tr3d I can confirm that without startdelay there is no trayicon for Nextcloud.

I can confirm this oooold bug for Seafile, too. I solved it by running this script 60 seconds after Cinnamon starting (using System Settings -> Startup Applications).

Script seafile-reload:

#!/bin/sh
killall seafile-applet
sleep 10
seafile-applet &
exit 0

Do not forget: chmod +x seafile-reload

linuxmint / cinnamon
