Description

There is no system tray icon. So no ability to hide it to system tray etc.

I suppose its since the tray thing changed in one of the last GNOME versions.

Steps to reproduce

Install Riot from the Manjaro Repositories and start it.

I also get an Integrations error, but I can't click on it to see the cause.

Version information

Desktop app from Manjaro 18.0 testing Repos.

This bit is unrelated. It's happening because the integration server was down at the time.

@Bendodroid Do you happen to use any other Electron-based apps on your system? I'm curious if all Electron apps are facing this problem, or only Riot.

@jryans The Mullvad VPN app has the same issue, I already reported the bug there as well. I'm not sure if the JetBrains Toolbox uses electron or something else. Other than that, I'm not aware of any other electron apps on my system that should have system tray icons.

I had to install libappindicator-sharp and libappindicator-gtk3 to get the tray icon to work again (together with Gnome and the extension KStatusNotifierItem/AppIndicator Support

Great! Just installing libappindicator-gtk3 is enough for me. This should probably be added as a dependency for the package or at least be documented somewhere in this repo for people to find.

The dependencies are managed by electron-builder and cannot be modified from this level, if you feel like it should be a dep then you should open an issue there

Why would libappindicator-sharp (and mono) be required for Riot / electron?
I am on Arch Linux with KDE. I first installed libappindicator-gtk3 but that did not resolve the issue. So I reluctantly tried installing libappindicator-sharp (which pulls in mono), and that did resolve the issue. But I would prefer not to have to install mono. Is it really a dependency now? Or am I missing something?

I guess that depends on what you mean by "this". Like other commenters above, I'm running Element (desktop) on KDE and I had to manually install libappindicator-gtk3.

In Arch Linux, libappindicator-gtk3 is listed as an optional dependency for electron17. I guess that might be the expected situation. If so, then things are working as expected on Arch Linux & KDE for me. Hope that helps.

Is this an issue for anyone on the official deb or only on community maintained packages e.g arch?

Closing due to lack of ayes, presuming fixed by Gnome 40 or specific to community packages.
