** Description changed: + [ Description ] + + When gnome-shell-extension-appindicator is installed and in use, and + indicator-application is also in use, there is a race condition that + means that Ubuntu sessions might not show any appindicators. They each + try to claim a bus name, and only one thing may own the same bus name at + a time. + + [ QA ] + + 1. Install indicator-application. + 2. Enter an Ubuntu GNOME Shell session + 3. Start something which displays an appindicator, for example transmission-gtk (turn on "Show Transmission in the notification area" in Preferences -> Desktop. + 4. Make sure it displays + 5. This bug is a race, and sometimes the appindicator will win the race and so they will work anyway. Open `journalctl -b` and check that there are no messages mentioning "org.kde.StatusNotifier". If the bug was happening you'd have a message from either the extension or indicator-application mentioning this name. + + [ Fix ] + + Don't run indicator-application on ubuntu sessions. + + [ Regression potential ] + + If someone has a different session called 'ubuntu' then this will stop + indicator-application running for them. + + [ Original description ] + On an Ubuntu 18.10 system, the dropbox icon would not show in the system tray panel. After searching the internet and trying various fixes (which did not work as expected) I came across a link which said indicator- application should be removed. I removed it along with the indicator- applet app and things are working fine!.
