Fails on an individual Kubuntu 18.04 installation #14

Since the add-on didn't work on my notebook I installed it in a virtual machine serving as reference. Notbook and VM use the following, identical software:

In the VM the add-on works as expected, no problem at all.

On the notebook I can install the add-on but it does not work. It quite often doesn't even appear in the list of installed add-ons after starting TB. If it does appear, and only then, the menu option Add-ons -> MinimizeToTray Reanimated also appears. However selecting that option does not show the configuration dialog of the add-on; the menu just closes. I then created a brand new TB profile and installed the add-on but the behavior is the same. The problem therefore doesn't seem to be directly related to a somehow defective TB profile. Is there anything more I could examine before going the painful (and probably even useless) road of reinstalling TB?

Hi this problem is indeed difficult to understand. You also experience it: Two different behaviors on identical systems.

It is possible that the issue is the same as #18.

You can try this version: https://github.com/ysard/mintrayr/releases/tag/1.4.6dev
