Just upgraded my FC12 to 13 using preupgrade.On booting up into 13 my panel at the top of the screen that normally holds the menus/system tray etc doesn't seem to have initialised. It's just not there.I had a message about "no system tray detected on this system" which I assume is from one of the applications trying to start up in the systray.I've not found anything obvious in the logs, but then I may not be looking in the right places.

I think I accidentally managed to delete the whole upper panel, and created a new one. Still the programs I start up which suppose to appear in the upper panel, don't appear there. Any idea how to fix this, or to add those functions to the upper panel?

Ive tried to do it through the GUI by unchecking Network Manager in the startup applications: didnt work. I tried to do it by editing the .desktop files in /.config/autostart and /etc/xdg/autostart: didnt work. I deleted all the .desktop files: didnt work. I can get rid of it by killing nm-applet, but then it comes back next time I log in. Is there any way to get rid of this stupid thing outside of purging Network Manager?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 10.04. I just installed HP drivers for my printer tonight, and now my laptop is acting a little "buggy". Some applications have froze, and my system tray icons are getting messed up. Sometimes the little power button dissapears and my username appears there instead, but it's not clickable. This means I have to shut down by using the power button on my laptop.
Also, as I am typing this message, the letters onscreen are lagging quite a bit behind my actual typing. It's as if there's something running in the background that is slowing everything down and messing things up.
Is anyone else getting a non-transparent icon in the system tray when TrueCrypt 6.3a loads on Ubuntu 10.04 with the default theme? Annoying white bars on the top and bottom of the icon. This didn't occur with the same version of TrueCrypt on previous versions of Ubuntu. Any way to resolve it? It looks out of place...
View 5 Replies View RelatedI removed the bottom panel and killed gnome-panel process. After that the icons are shown in random order on the panel. The clock is sometimes in the middle, sometimes at the end. This is very annoying I locked it to the panel, but it keeps moving randomly after restart. And I can't move it after the panel is loaded.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter installing Kubuntu 11.04, the system tray has gone wild. It contains network manager, volume etc. icons, but applications cannot add theirs. For example Skype status icon positions itself in the top left screen corner; Pidgin icon floats in a small window on the desktop. What could be wrong?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've done some searching through google and can't seem to find a fix for this.
I installed skype on my computer and couldn't figure out where the tray icon went after i closed the main window so I started playing around with all my taskbars and stuff. Being new to ubuntu and all (I'm using version 11.04 with the gnome theme) i accidentally deleted the Skype icon, my windows list on the bottom and everything up top. I successfully restored my windows list and have system monitor so i can easily kill skype if i accidentally restore it (i haven't been able to figure out how to restore the icon up there) and got rid of all my stuff in the top right corner. Upon reboot everything returned except for my shutdown/restart/log off list which i loved (it fit in esthetically and had all the options).

View 9 Replies View RelatedIn Ubuntu some applications can be set to minimize instead of exit on close. For example, Empathy minimizes to the system tray (mail icon) when the close button is pressed in the application window. How do I make Evolution do this as well?
Essentially I would like to have Evolution hidden in the system tray instead of having to re-launch it every ten minutes to check for new messages (or leave it open and clutter the taskbar).
I installed Skype only because it is necessary to Pidgin to handle the Skype service/protocol. I use Pidgin for many protocols included the IRC, so I don't need Skype icon in the system tray at all. Honestly I hate Skype, but unfortunately it seems that all the world use it. how to take off that terrible icon/indicator/applet from the systray. I searched in all system to find a configuration file, I opened few named Skype using vi to avoid to damage them, but I have not found nothing interesting for my scope. PS: don't tell me how I will switch on or off Skype, because a plug-in of Pidgin do it w/o user interaction.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu 10.10, fairly fresh install. The order of the icons in the system tray changes each time I reboot. It's worked fine since install a few weeks ago until today when I booted and the wireless wouldn't connect. I rebooted and they came up in a different order so I rebooted again and the order changed yet again. Maybe I should just keep rebooting until I find an order I'm happy with then never switch my machine off.I've attached a printscreen to show what I mean.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSince I installed Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick in a new computer (my lab's computer), there are three broken icons in the system tray. They are black rectangles, with white borders, and a forbidden sign in the middle. I can't figure out what program is related to them, and they don't respond to left or right click. Can anyone point me in some direction? I thought about using programs like xprop/xwininfo to figure out what program they are related to and kill it, but these don't work for system tray, only for windows.

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit with a GNOME Environment.
I have Thunderbird setup with the minimize to tray add on. I have it setup to start on boot but I would like it to start and then minimize to the system tray without me having to manually minimize it. I just can't figure it out. I have mounted a windows share with smbfs and it is in the fstab file but when the computer boots I have to type in terminal
[code]...
then terminal asks me for root password and then another box comes up after that that just says password. In the second password box it doesnt matter what you type in it will still mount. Even leaving it blank mounts. I read in some other threads about editing rc.local and also visudo. Neither one of those fixed it. I also made a script to run the above command and then added it to system>preferences>startup applications. That didn't work either.
I don't know what I did, or maybe it was some update. I'm running Kubuntu Maverick 64-bit. Kmix in system tray disappeared. Sometimes it shows up after some long time, but I haven't seen it for the last month. Kmix process still runs, and it takes one entire thread of my Intel i3 processor. Killing kmix and restarting it does not change anything. Sound applications work as expected, but I cannot change volume. They work well also when I kill kmix. When I invoke kmix from xterm, I get the following messages:
Code:

At the same time, phonom complains that some devices have disappeared (they do not show up in other places anymore):

What should I do to get my mixer back?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have decided to install Debian 8.2 in my desktop. I am test driving it in virtual box find and solve any problem I may face later on. The isp I use provides me with a shared ip every time and I have to create a DSL connection with username and password to connect to it. I can create the connection from the gui connection manager using "nm-connection-editor" command in Debian.
I am using elementary os freya and I can do so from the system tray at the top right. So, I wanted to do the same in debian also. But I can only create VLAN, VPN, Bridge, Team and Bond. There is no option for DSL but if I create one in the way mentioned before, it appears as a profile under "Wired" network option in system tray. I read some post regarding network option in system tray but I could not make them work and other I did not understand. In KDE window manager I have this feature but I want to use gnome 3.
Can I minimize the rhythmbox so that it appears only as a item in the system tray in fedora 11?Ctrl + W seems doesn't work.

Basically all is great except for 1 little annoying problem - system tray.Applications like Amarok, Network Manager, SUSE updater, etc just does not show up in system tray! Amarok keeps playing music after I minimalize it to tray, but its no where to be found XD.

Do you know a command for zypper to install newest packages, ignoring branding (from who package is)? That is one of things that truly is a pain, and which I never experienced while using Debian.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find a way to put an icon in the system tray and run a bash command every time I click on the icon.
Purpose: I want to set up a system tray icon that will hide/unhide the desktop when clicked, much as would the standard desktop panel plugin for the various panel apps like lxpanel, gnome panel, etc.
Why don't I just use a panel app?
I am using a very reduced install of Ubuntu Lucid oriented towards first time PC users on very old hardware, using Openbox as the window manager and Tint2 with lxlauncher instead of a panel, the latter both compiled from latest source for some slight customization. Tint2 is a taskbar that also features a built in clock applet and system tray which I have chosen after examining basically all other alternatives and chosen for its light footprint and customization. It gives me everything I need except a single click hide/show-desktop feature or a halt/reboot/logout menu. lxlauncher is a very lightweight alternative to the Ubuntu Netbook Remix netbook-launcher (and/or netbook-launcher-efl) package that conforms to the freedesk specifications and occupies all free deskspace other than tint2, under all other windows. I used the freedesk specs to set up a "shutdown" menu category and created shutdown.desktop reboot.desktop and logout.desktop files in the category to add that feature, using dbus commands for the first two and 'openbox --exit' for the latter.
I set the openbox config to open all app windows maximized with no decoration, so each app takes up the whole screen other than tint2 and can only be closed by right clicking on its icon in tint2 or by its file->Quit menu.
This gives me a kind of OLPC for grown ups with no computer experience. In other words, for people who don't know what a desktop or window is. This is similar to the Ubuntu Netbook Remix except that in UNR they superimpose the window decorations over the gnome panel so you can still close the window.
However, the one problem here is that to see lxlauncher when one has several apps running, one has to click on each app in tint2 to minimize it. I would like to add a system tray icon to make this possible with one click without adding too much more overhead to the existing setup.
Here is a screen cap of the desktop:
BTW, I will use wmctrl to test the desktop visibility state and toggle it using this bash command: test 'wmctrl -m | grep ON' && wmctrl -k on || wmctrl -k off
how to get an icon in the system tray and run the above command when clicked will be appreciated
P.S. I've looked at 'zenity --notification --listen' but running a command when the icon is clicked in this case is a pending feature for the app and not yet implemented. My last resort will be to learn C and try that.
I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 (was having similar issues in 10.04 too) on his PC and generally it's working just fine. The problem is system tray icons disappears/rearranges automatically but the biggest issue is that NetworkManager applet icon disappears and somehow internet stops working every now and then...Is there any way to "weld" NetworkManager etc icons to the Gnome Panel/taskbar ? so that they can not be removed without entering the password?
