**Help** Trying to configure utility on Fedora 37 Workstation

[dswapnil104]

Trying to configure the utility on my laptop running fedora 37.

./TrayConservationMode: error while loading shared libraries: libayatana-appindicator3.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any help to setup the utility is appreciated !

If you installed it with the install.sh, when it asks if you want to install the legacy version, say yes!
If you installed it manually, just download the legacy version instead!

Is this ok for you? I can't see your response here, but have gotten an email

Goodnote :

Anyone trying this utility on GNOME 43 (in my case fedora37)

Make sure to chose Legacy release package i.e:

TrayConservationMode_Legacy.tar.gz

Look for the dependencies to be installed i.e :

• libappindicator-gtk3
• gnome-shell-extension-appindicator
  • Install using:
    1. Gnome Extension Store
    2. Or fire up a command like I did , as apparently extensions website sometimes fails to perform a dependency check:
       • sudo dnf install gnome-shell-extension-appindicator (apt if on Debian based)

I deleted a stale comment sorry for the mail ping.
I fixed the issue, thanks for a prompt reply.
I was wondering what is correct way of adding this utility to .desktop application list as well as setting it up as startup application, any help on this front ?

[liperium]

Yes this would be the correct way to do it ( at least, that's the way I do it )
Hope you like the tool 👍
I was running Fedora too and never had the problem, thanks for the info on the dependancy 😄

I added your comment to the readme of the application! Have a good one!

Firstly, I truly love the utility !! Thanks for making it.
But I'm afraid you lost me with the previous comment. I am not sure as to how do I make a .desktop file such that it starts up on boot as a startup-application, I was wondering if you could help me with same, just the way you mention you had done it on your Fedora ride...

I think I used Alacarte utility to add a desktop entry, you can look online to do it manually, basically you have to link it to the TrayConservationMode file.

I would like to know what contents went into the .desktop file generated. Last time I tried I had startup issues with utility configured.
