[Bug 845173] Re: Missing system tray icon
After installing the skype amd64 (executing the command without -s in my last comment), allowing the autoremove to purge the i386 depedencies (as shown in the simulation above too) and re-installng using "apt-get install skype:i386" my skype icon now appears on startup too. There were some xserver updates among other things last night, so I'm not sure what caused it exactly to work, but it does now in all cases. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/845173 Title: Missing system tray icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/845173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 845173] Re: Missing system tray icon
I also found the same behavior using the amd64 version (2.2.0.35-1) downloadable directly from Skype. http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-ubuntu-64 I'm back to the skype:i386 for now as that seems to be the preference now with multi-arch. Recently a broken amd64 skype appeared in the the Natty partner archive. This one just plain doesn't work, but is easily installable creating a separate issue people trying to figure out notification issues might trip over. It is tempting since it cleans up all the i386 multi-arch packages. apt-get install skype:i386 if you end up executing the following (note I use the simulate flag -s below) root@oneiric:~# apt-get install skype -s Reading package lists...

[Bug 845173] Re: Missing system tray icon
After making this change I have noticed that the icon only appears when I start Skype from my unity panel, not when I add skype to my Startup applications. Seems strange, but there seems to be an extra permission or setting that still has not been enabled. For now, I just start skype manually after boot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/845173 Title: Missing system tray icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/845173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Using an old trick to get it working in Natty, I had some success. First I queried (get command) the current whitelist for old-style notifications, and then copied it and added Skype to it (set command).
