@Simon If you think understanding that report, tell me why 'importance' & 'assigned to ' are still not set by devs ? When that report have been opened (2016), there was a transitional time where many users have hit the problem, then only a few (with rolling systems/mixed install/...) About xenial, it will never receive 'cosmetic' fixed but only 'security' ones and maybe some SRU/backport; nothing related to such report. So you can still spend your time to undo what i have set, its useless and does not help to get solutions nor 'makes ubuntu better'. ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: appmenu-qt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1629251 Title: Some app-indicators not showing menus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-qt/+bug/1629251/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

> Unity is dead; nobody will spend time about it. You're wrong there, Unity is still maintained and will be for the rest of the 16.04 cycle at minimum. Also, about the "mixed install" part of this, that shouldn't matter, as this is reported against appmenu-qt. Please, stop marking the status to Invalid. Let's keep it at New where it belongs. ** Changed in: appmenu-qt (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1629251 Title: Some app-indicators not showing menus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-qt/+bug/1629251/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1629251] Re: Some app-indicators not showing menus
Unity is dead; nobody will spend time about it. Reporting 'bug' suppose to run a fresh real install, not one from a virtual space, nor one disturb by old/borked settings left behind. If the dropbox doesnot/didnot display icons while other apps correctly react, then its a dropbox problem. Reporting a problem on a system mixing gnome & xfce makes such report useless too. So let genuine install which is fully tested working as expected. If installations are the result of many untested/unexpected configs, then dont waste time reporting. Only report about genuine installation. ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: appmenu-qt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1629251 Title: Some app-indicators not showing menus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-qt/+bug/1629251/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Marking as Invalid because the release is EOL is not correct. Marking as Incomplete. Also, 18.04 is (at the time of writing) still in development, and you should expect some breakage. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Release_has_reached_End_of_Life_.28EOL.29 Reporter, is this still present on 17.10 or 16.04? ** Changed in: appmenu-qt (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Incomplete ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Incomplete ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1629251 Title: Some app-indicators not showing menus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-qt/+bug/1629251/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1629251] Re: Some app-indicators not showing menus
@Mark Tidd, I had the same problem with pia indicator. I contacted pia's help desk and they gave me the folowing instructions to fix it. You can copy and past the instructions in the terminal. It is best to remove the app and re-install it. The instructions below were sent to me by the pia's support team: To remove the app follow these instructions: Please, I will encourage you to fully remove the PIA app, then download a fresh copy of the app and re-install, then check if issue persist. To uninstall our application you can simply run the following terminal command: NOTE: Please make sure this step is completed very carefully. All symbols, and spacing are VERY important. Incorrect usage of this command can lead to DATA LOSS. (It is best to simply copy and paste the command below) rm -rf ~/.pia_manager/ If the command is successful, there will be no confirmation, it will simply go to a new line in the Terminal window. Once you have done that, you can install the app from: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/installer/download_installer_linux , Then, from the terminal in the directory you downloaded to: 1) Extract file: tar -xzf pia-v68-installer-linux.tar.gz 2) Tell OS to proceed: chmod +x pia-v68-installer-linux.sh 3) Run installer: ./pia-v68-installer-linux.sh Please enter your login details and click save. Make sure not to select Start application at login and Auto-connect on launch. To fix the pia app not showing on the indicator, pia's support team suggested the following: >From the terminal type the following instructions: 1. Open terminal and type: cd ~/.pia_manager/pia_manager/ Next run the following (this is case sensitive, so it may be best to copy and paste), env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity ./run.sh After trying the above, does the icon appear in the tray(it may take 15 seconds or so)? If not, is there any errors in the terminal? If the above worked, please proceed to the next step: 2. Next you need to edit pia_manager.desktop in /.local/share/applications and add the following line after Exec=: env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity To do so, please enter the following commands in terminal: cd ~/.local /share/applications Next, type the following: nano pia_manager.desktop The final result should look something like the following (additional information in bold; YourUserName will of course be different, e.g Arthur): Type=Application Name=Private Internet Access Exec=env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity /home/YourUserName/.pia_manager/pia_manager/run.sh Icon=/home/YourUserName/.pia_manager/pia_tray_files/img/default_app_logo.png (there is a space between Unity and /home) To exit and save, hit ctrl-x on your keyboard and hit y I also copied the edited pia_manager.desktop in /.local/share/applications to /user/share/applications folder. This is so that I can search for the app in the dash. All you need to do in dash is start type priv it sholud show two green icons for Private Internet Access. Select the bigger one of the two (it is slightly brighter than the other). Once the app started, you should see the icon on the launcher. Right click on it and select lock to launcher. This enables you to run the app from the launcher from now on. Hope fully you should the red icon on the app indicator.

Yes, I have this same problem with the dropbox indicator and also the pia indicator, the latter is more important as I can no longer switch which server I am using, so if this server I am currently using goes awry then I am stuck. I am a relative beginner with linux so don't have the means to fix this myself.

Running up to date 17.04 and I also have this issue. In my user env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity is already set, but Electron based apps do not show a tray/indicator icon. I attempted to set this in /etc/profile.d/ which worked and I had tray/indicator icons, but had the effect of breaking various Unity things like the control/settings app. Seems like apps launched from the gnome-session are missing this env? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1629251 Title: Some app-indicators not showing menus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-qt/+bug/1629251/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
