Bug#1002845: onboard: the status icon does not appear on gnome

2022-01-04 Thread Teodoro Coluccio
I have found a solution, at least as far as the use on gnome is concerned.
This consists of
a) install the gnome extension AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support 
from https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/.
b) in the onboard settings, in general, you need to set "status icon provider" 
to "AppIndicator (Unity, KDE)"
c) Finally it restarts (even a logout is enough).
In this way, the onboard icon will correctly appear in the top bar of gnome.


Bug#1002845: onboard: the status icon does not appear on gnome

2021-12-29 Thread Teo
Package: onboard
Version: 1.4.1-5+b4
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: teodoro777.coluc...@live.com

I'm on debian testing, (but I tried also debian stable) with gnome 41.1, and as
the title, I can't get the status icon to appear.
I've of course the appindicator extension installed, indeed, all other status
icon appear.
Also, I've noticed that in other distros, this works smoothly.
What can I try to make it work on debian too?

Regards
Teo
