Tray icon missing in Ubuntu 18.04 #82

Installed from default apt repo.

Missing tray icon - otherwise works great.

From where did you install screenkey? Ubuntu universe? Please file a bug on ubuntu about a missing dependency.

Debian doesn't have unity, so the dependency cannot be added on the original package.

Indeed, addin python-appindicator solved my problem. I installed from Universe indeed. 18.04 isn't running Unity so I guess when installed to 17.10+ apt should force python-appindicator ? I'll see if I can find the package manager (person) and ask them to add.

Thanks!

It really depends on which desktop manager you're using. The regular systray works everywhere else except gnome, so I wouldn't consider this strictly as a bug. Ideally this would be a "recommended" package on Ubuntu.

One of the many reasons I came to dislike anything gnome.
