Open dentaku65 opened 1 year ago

dentaku65 commented 1 year ago

Hello,

upgrading from 2023.3 to 2023.4 the tray icon in Xubuntu 22.04 LTS is disappear; here some differences from the previous version taken from indicator log

2023.3

Note the two entries /tmp/.org.chromium.Chromium; the first one is empty, the second one contains the the Mullvad icon displayed on tray indicator

2023.4

On 2023.4 the entries on /tmp/.org.chromium.Chromium exist only on one occurrence and it is empty and there is nothing in the log.

Open this even on reddit

Hello, seems fixed with a small workaround. Xfce4 has 3 applet to place tray icons:

Indicator Plugin
Status Tray Plugin
Status Notifier Plugin

The culprit of this behavior seems, in my case, the Indicator Plugin. Removing this plugin and adding Status Notifier Plugin the applet do not recognized the Mullvad application and the icon is not displayed in tray area; to display the icon you need to open the properties of the plugin and flag the check mark "Menu is primary action"; however in the same property panel under "Know Items" appears not "Mullvad" but an item called "chrome_icon_status_1" which I suspect is Mullvad itself. Same scenario Status Tray Plugin but, in that case, Mullvad in namely in a correct fashion.

Tested with 2023.4, 2023.5-beta2

Ops, in Mullvad 2023.5 the issue is come back on every tray icon solutions

dentaku65 commented 11 months ago

Working on 2023.5 with Status Notifier Plugin It is necessary to disable/remove in Session and Startup -> Application Autostart -> Ayatana Indicator Application on Xfce4 Settings
