Icons in the tray

[pbadun]

Debian 9 Mate, mate-panel 1.20.1 - Notification Area 1.20.1 - Notification Applet 1.20.0

used to be: Icons of messengers such as Skype, Viber, Telegram - were in the "Notification Area", displayed without any problems. - it became, after the update, Skype - remained in the "Notification Area" and the icon broke - in the picture https://hkar.ru/UzeG, Viber moved to the "Applet of notifications", c dropbox there is generally something wrong - the icon disappeared, but with the fact that "hangs" nothing can be done at all.

it is generally solved? The problem is not in the private application - but with the panel as a whole, because almost all the programs were broken.

Please follow the template, it's easier to read.

@pbadun I don't understand what you've done on your computer. On Debian 9, you've the choice between Mate Panel 1.16 or 1.18. How do you have installed Mate Panel, do you have compiled it from upstream? Are you sure you're on Debian 9 "Stretch" so the stable release ?

Best regaards, Alex.

The problem occurred after one of the updates. Thinking that the problem will be solved - I installed separately packages from: http://ftp.byfly.by/debian/pool/main/m/mate-panel/ , as well as all the required dependencies through dkpg -i .... But the problem has remained, I have not found solutions in other sources ...

Could you tell me the result of the following commands: apt-cache policy mate-panel && lsb_release -r

Best regards, Alex.

[pbadun]

debian-9.4.0-amd64-DVD-1 If you install and do not update - then everything is fine.

I removed 1.20.1-3 and installed 1.16.2-1 odanoko the problem remained the same. The DropBox and Select applications are not displayed in the notification area at all. Maybe you can see a log of some kind?

You could imagine to reset the whole panel configuration like this: 1) Install dconf-cli package 2) Reset the configuration with the following command (you'll lose your entire panel configuration, be careful to paste it correctly if you don't want all your configuration reset to default):

dconf reset -f "/org/mate/panel/"

Does this solve your issue?

Best regards, Alex.

[pbadun]

no, it did not solve ... Resetted the fullness of all the operating sesite - everything worked. After the update today - problemma again arose. The following packages have been updated:

Can somewhere there are no permissions to display these applications in the notification area?

[pbadun]

I tested it. Created 2 applications on GT4 and GTK + 3.0 (C ++) with the icon in the tray - they both work ...

[pbadun]

I found the problem! He removed these two packages and everything fell into place. Perhaps the reason is hidden in this.

ayatana-indicator-common:amd64 (0.6.1-1~bpo9+1) ayatana-indicator-application:amd64 (0.5.2-1~bpo9+1)

[lukefromdc]

I have ayatana-indicator-common in Debian Unstable, but I also have mate-panel 1.21 with SNI (indicator) support turned on. While you listed mate-panel 1.20 as being on your system and it has SNI support, I wonder if it had gotten turned off. SNI support was first offered in mate-panel itself with mate-panel 1.18 and did not exist in mate-panel 1.16. With that version no indicator could be displayed (barring the app having a fallback to GtkStatusIcon) unless the separate indicator-applet was installed and in the panel. The same would be true with mate-panel 1.18 or later with SNI support turned off.

I wonder if something in the Ayatana indicator packages is causing indicator support to be claimed even when SNI support is unavailable or turned off and there is no indicator applet running. That could cause applications that use indicator support when it is available not to fallback to GtkStatusIcon when it is not available and wouild have caused your problem.

The test would be this: make sure you are using mate-panel 1.18 or 1.20, reinstall indicator-applet-common, and open dconf-editor and go to org>mate>panel>general and make sure "enable-sni-support" is set to true. If the icons in question appear, the problem is with ayatana-indicator-common misbehaving as I have speculated above, and if they do not the package is broken in some other way. Do this ONLY if you are confident you can remove the package and get back to a working configuration again.

[alexarnaud]

Maybe @sunweaver when he will be back could help us on this.

Best regards, Alex.

Does the issue still exits?
