MEGAsync tray icon not showing on Raspbian Jessie

[JoaquimParis]

Hi There. Linux "senior Rookie" here. The MEGAsync icon stopped showing on my system (PI3, Raspbian Jessie). I've tried the lxpanelctl restart but didn't work. I've tried editing the megasync.desktop (Exec=bash -c "sleep 20 ; megasync") file but didn't work either. Please help.

In addition, how do I check if the application is running?

Unable to reproduce in an up-to-date Rasbian 8. Please ensure you have your RPI updated (apt-get update && apt-get upgrade), and are using latest MEGAsync. You can check megasync is running typing in a console:

pgrep megasync

You can also execute megasync again (megasync in a console, or Menu->Internet->MEGAsync). This should open the status UI, so you can interact with MEGAsync even in the absence of tray icon.

hi polmr.

Thanks for the reply. I've updated and upgraded the system (including megasync). No good.

Killing the process and restarting it manually everytime solved the problem but that's not the solution I'm looking for (just as aditional info).

any clues?

So ... upon startup megasync won't load the tray icon. If you kill it and start it manually it does load it. But if you set a timeout at ~/.config/autostart/megasync.desktop via Exec=bash -c "sleep 20 ; megasync", it does not load the icon either. I can only assume 20 seconds was not enough. You might want to try a longer timeout. Also, ensure you are editing the ~/.config/autostart/megasync.desktop, not /usr/share/applications/megasync.desktop

The ~/.config wasn't the one I was editing. Good to learn something new. :+1:

New info I forgot to mention: I'm accessing the Pi through TightVNC. Does that count somehow or it makes no diff?

[polmr]

No, I don't think so. Did the delay in ~/.config/autostart/megasync.desktop work?

This work for me :ok_hand:
