smarek commented 1 year ago

I discovered the reason behind this, i3bar does support only limited amount of tray icon methods, snixembed https://git.sr.ht/~steef/snixembed is used to solve this the other way around

To solve the root cause is to upgrade electron, see https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/23674

lucyllewy commented 1 year ago

Unfortunately upgrading electron is not something we can do within the snap. This needs to be done by Signal upstream.

w-sky commented 1 year ago

I'm having the same problem since I just updated from 5.7.0 to 6.4.0 and then 6.4.1. Will this be fixed soon or is there a workaround?

smarek commented 1 year ago

@w-sky workaround is to use mentioned snixembed utility

w-sky commented 1 year ago

Still no tray icon in Signal Desktop v6.18.0 using ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS with unity desktop.

However as it seems, this bug is not specific to the Snap version of Signal. I also installed Signal from the repository at signal.org some weeks ago and up to the current version (6.18.0) I won't see a tray icon either.

smarek commented 1 year ago

ok, maintainer, can somebody please close this, so the last comment explains, this is not issue of "snapcrafters" repository, it's issue of upstream Signal Desktop app, and everybody should go and get fixed this issue: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/6243

smarek commented 1 year ago

I'm closing this issue with my own resolution, see https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/6243#issuecomment-1574063892

TL;DR: Install libayatana (and all possible sub-packages), restart your WM and signal-desktop, observe tray icon working

FiSHYsolutions commented 1 year ago

still no tray icon in signal desktop v6.26.0 (snap) using xubuntu 22.04.2 lts

merlijn-sebrechts commented 11 months ago

I cannot reproduce this issue on an updated Xubuntu 22.04 install. If you are still experiencing this issue, please try the following:

How to fix it

Run the following command:

sudo apt install libayatana-*

After this, reboot your OS and restart Signal Desktop.

Nevertheless, this is an issue with your OS, not with Signal, so I'm closing this issue.
