pamac-tray icon not showing with latest pkgs

[oberon-manjaro]

Something seems to have been changed about tray icons... pamac-tray, the manjaro package manager used to show fine in Deepin tray but since lates pkg-updates the icon is gone.
Do you have any advice for me where to look for the reason?
@philmmanjaro any idea, maybe?

[philmmanjaro]

Is the daemon or the tray process running?

[oberon-manjaro]

pamac-tray process is running. No daemon. How would that normally be launched?
There's more stuff that looks not normal when running pamac-manager (in the live-environment):
When I try to install/uninstall a package from the pkg-manager it gives "Authentication failed".
Clicking on 'Preferences' in the Settings Menu has no effect.
And with pamac-tray again:

$ pamac-tray --gapplication-service
Failed to register: Unable to acquire bus name 'org.manjaro.pamac.tray'

[philmmanjaro]

Then some is wrong on your end in regard of authentication. Check if any polkit daemon is running:

[phil@manjaro ~]$ ps -ef | grep polkit | grep -v grep
polkitd    506     1  0 10:19 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd --no-debug
phil       919   671  0 10:19 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1

[oberon-manjaro]

OK. So the authentication-agent was not running because its .desktop file in autostart only works after you delete OnlyShowIn=GNOME; ;)
That solves the issues of pamac-manger but unfotunately makes no difference about the tray icon...
How about the daemon? I tried launching it manually with sudo pamac-daemon but that doesn't change anything either.

[philmmanjaro]

So what is the actual problem? pamac-tray doesn't show in the dock or it doesn't work?

[oberon-manjaro]

I get no tray icon and can only launch pamac-manger with the launcher or from terminal. I don't know if the daemon is running. How can I check that or start it?

[philmmanjaro]

Please check the systemd and dbus1 service files:

pamac /usr/lib/systemd/system/pamac.service
pamac /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/
pamac /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.manjaro.pamac.service

[oberon-manjaro]

Icon issue seems solved with latest dock-update. I have opened another issue for the polkit not started.

[oberon-manjaro]

Unfortunately the icon disappears again after relogging...

[oberon-manjaro]

restarting dde-dock brings the icon back.

[philmmanjaro]

Hmm, crazy issue then ...

[oberon-manjaro]

It's looking kind of random at the moment and I was not really able to nail down a reproducable situation for the issue. I suspect that when it happens also the notification for available language packs gets "swallowed" - so maybe that means that no icons at all are displayed maybe. In any case it appears to be an issue of deepin-dock.

[pavlanton]

Dropbox icon and pamac-tray and multitasking view work fine Arch-linux + deepin

[oberon-manjaro]

Sometimes, yes. But not reliably! When it doesn't I have to pkill dde-dock and when it restarts it works again. Sometimes the issue is triggered by relogging.

This has not happened in a while now. Closing :)
