Ubuntu 16.10 with xfce. No tray icon

#1

Tray icon does not show (sni-qt is installed). Please let me know how to fix this. (tray icon showed up fine previously in 16.04)
Thanks

#2

Hi there, can you check the last three bulletpoints of this topic and let me know if it helps you?

#3

Thanks for the response jaduenas. I have repeatedly tried them of course and the last 3 bulletpoints don’t help:

  1. insync is running
  2. stopping and restarting does not change behavior/produce tray icon
  3. crontab -l shows an entry for insync

Other suggestions?

@btnadiga: Please check this thread for some more suggestions: No tray icon in lastest version.

#5

@lpugoy, @jaduenas
The tray icon shows up when insync is started with sudo. But it messes up file ownership and permissions. Is there a way to start insync with sudo that does not make owner and group root:root for the synced files?

#6

@btnadiga: I see. I don’t believe that’s possible unfortunately. One workaround could be to set the setgid flag on your Insync folder so that files and folders created there would inherit its group ID (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid#setuid_and_setgid_on_directories). The owner would still be root though. Have you tried testing on a different Linux user account if the tray icon would be shown for it?

#7

@lpugoy Today by chance, I discovered in my temporary folder this:
/tmp/sni-qt_insync_2745-gms6II/icons
Inside there is nothing, should the icons be here??
I hope this can help you to discover the issue.
Thank you.

Confirmed here, I’m using Fedora 25 and suddenly it’s gone (the tray icon).

I tried run this insync start --no-daemon

and here’s the output from terminal

QGtkStyle could not resolve GTK. Make sure you have installed the proper libraries.

@aditiavfx: Apologies for not replying sooner. What desktop environment are you using in Fedora 25? If you’re using GNOME Shell are you using TopIcons or TopIcons Plus?

#10

I’m using fedora 25 with xfce desktop environment, already installed sni-qt and sni-qt:i386

My other systray apps icon are fine, only insync at the moment which doen’t work.

Also my profil picture in insync apps also missing, showing only blue picture.

#11

@aditiavfx: Hmm, it worked in my test though. Did you try the suggestions in this thread? Also do you have the “Notification Area” item in your panel?

#12

@lpugoy yes, I have, it’s weird because it was working fine. I’ve tried many things from this forum already, but nothing solves. I also has empty sni-qt_insync in tmp, Does that normally happen?

#13

@aditiavfx: I see. When I checked I saw that I actually didn’t have sni-qt installed, please check if that works for you too. But the tray icon was still shown in my case when I installed sni-qt. There is a folder inside the /tmp/sni-qt_insync... folder named icons but that was empty.

If that didn’t work please send a list of installed packages so I can try to replicate your setup. You can get it by running dnf list installed. To prevent posting a very long message in this thread you can attach the output to a file instead.

#14

Hi,

same issue there with ubuntu 16.10. Finally, is there a workaround to solve this with ubuntu 16.10?

I can shaare my desktop if needed.

Regards

#15

Same issue on Fedora 25 KDE, at some point stopped working. sni-qt is installed, but the suggested package xembed-sni-proxy is not available in RPMfusion nor in Fedora repos (outdated/absolete package?)

There are following lines in out.txt:

Current thread 0x00007f27dc8ed700:
File “main__insync.py”, line 117 in main
File “main__insync.py”, line 180 in
File “main.py”, line 128 in
File “”, line 6 in
QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set

It happened quite some time ago, so I can’t remember at what point it stopped working. If I re-install InSync it works until the reboot.

@Gautier_Avril: Please confirm if you have flatpack installed with the steps shown here: No tray icon in lastest version. If you do and you are not using it please try removing the folder /home/USERNAME/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/icons/hicolor.

#17

I never installer flatpak, also I don’t have this folder on my computer.

#18

@Gautier_Avril: I see. Did you try running the script in the forums post? What is the output?

#19

not sure about which script has to be launch.

Here is the --no-daemon output. Hope it helps.
