  • Ubuntu 20.04 (GNOME), deb - Bad
  • Ubuntu 20.04 (KDE), deb - Good
  • Ubuntu 22.04, deb - Bad

Hadn't caught this before because I usually run xfce4 or KDE Plasma on my dev systems.

Ubuntu's default desktop (Not sure if this is still GNOME?) is very different from the conventional Windows / KDE / xfce style.

It could also be a bug in the packaging or launching of the app that makes the icon unavailable (Maybe it's something AppImage handles for us and the deb bundler doesnt?) or makes the display server inaccessible (Since we're launching with sudo, but why would that only affect the tray icon?)

It's not that thing in the upper left.

If I close the Settings window, Firezone is still running, but there's no Firezone icon on screen at all.

I've tried installing a few appindicator packages per https://askubuntu.com/questions/1351747/how-to-display-a-system-tray-icon-in-ubuntu-20-04

  • libappindicator1
  • libayatana-appindicator3-1

Nothing working yet.

feat(linux): make deep link auth work (#4102)
52cde61 
Right now it only works on my dev VM, not on my test VMs, due to #4053
and #4103, but it passes tests and should be safe to merge.

There's one doc fix and one script fix which are unrelated and could be
their own PRs, but they'd be tiny, so I left them in here.

Ref #4106 and #3713 for the plan to fix all this by splitting the tunnel
process off so that the GUI runs as a normal user.

Tray Icons Reloaded is a GNOME Shell extension which bring back Tray Icons to top panel

Back? Back? Did they get rid of tray icons??

Is this is an out-of-season April Fool's joke?

No, it's just because we were running as root
Closing as not-planned, since #3713 will fix it.
