This is exactly the same behavior I see in a fresh 11.10 64-bit install with TrueCrypt 7.1.
>From what I understand the tray icon can be re-instated by adding it to a whitelist but I really don't understand how the Ubuntu usability team can be 'ok' with expecting the user to know this - let alone how to work around it. Surely there is a better way than to have Unity fail silently leaving the user wondering what went wrong. When an application attempts to add a tray icon to the panel why can't the user be presented with a dialog explaining what's happening? The dialog could read something like this: --- begin dialog --- "The application you've installed [TrueCrypt] is attempting to add itself to the notification area. This application doesn't meet the high standards that have been established for indicators and as a result will not be displayed. However, some applications may rely on functionality exposed by their notification icons. We can attempt to whitelist [TrueCrypt] so that it will appear but cannot guarantee that it will function as expected. Would you like to do this?" [Yes, please show TrueCrypt in the notification area] [No thank you] --- end dialog --- Yes? The user is given important information and offered a solution - THAT's helpful software. Failing silently = FAIL. ** Tags added: unity-2d -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875155 Title: Cannot reopen truecrypt after it has been closed in Unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/875155/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
