Public bug reported: Please add Recommends: dbus-x11 (or maybe Suggests:) to the steam packaging.
I was trying for months to figure out why steam wouldn't show a notification tray icon or application indicator on my new xubuntu installation, when it worked fine on my old installation. I learned today that installing the dbus-x11 package fixes it. Perhaps that package is usually pulled in by some other dependency in a default desktop installation, but on my minimal system, it wasn't. ** Affects: steam (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1659983 Title: steam package needs a dbus-x11 dependency to fix missing tray icon / indicator To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/steam/+bug/1659983/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
