tray icon disapear since last update

[vroger11]

I don't know why there is this bug. But on manjaro with Kde 2.26.3 the tray icon stopped to appear

[axtloss]

Can you check if the tray icon is enabled in the webcord settings?
If it is, can you run webcord from the terminal with flatpak run io.github.spacingbat3.webcord and send the log?

Hm nothing really indicates any permission error, could you try using webcord outside of flatpak to see if the issue persists? Webcord offers AppImages which is also what the flatpak uses, so it would be best if you'd try the AppImage

Edit: nevermind, I just saw the issue on the webcord repo, I'll investigate what extra permissions are needed

[valeth]

I messed around with Flatseal for a bit
When I enable Session Bus the tray icon shows up, otherwise it doesn't.

[axtloss]

Yes, this would completely open the sandbox to any dbus communication which isn't something I want or even should/can do. So I'll have to track down to which dbus urls it actually talks to

[valeth]

Adding org.kde.StatusNotifierItem-3-1 to the owned bus names seems to do the trick.

Not sure if those names are system specific though, definitely seems to be at least KDE specific.

I don't think it's kde specific, since the StatusNotifierItem-2-1 also worked on gnome with the appindicator extensions.
Although I'm not able to test this on gnome myself, so someone else will have to do it

On Gnome 43 Fedora 37 with AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support it works. Tray Icons: Reloaded doesn't work, yet it worked on previous version.

Sorry, I am late to answer, my problem is solved with this permission

[axtloss]

I'll add the kde StatusNotifierItem permission to have it working on kde, but I'll keep this issue open for gnome support

You put the permission to Talks and not Owns so the permission is not working

You should have --own-name==org.kde.StatusNotifierItem-3-1 instead of --talk-name=org.kde.StatusNotifierItem-3-1 in the yml file

[axtloss]

Oh I completely missed that, I'll fix it asap. thanks for letting me know!

[axtloss]

After some more research, I found this issue, the flatpak build linter blocks me from changing the permission to be --own-name=org.kde.StatusNotifierItem-3-1.
It seems like the systray icon has to remain a broken feature for now

I'm also seeing the missing Tray Icon issue with the AppImage and Ice-WM on Fedora 37. Has worked in past releases.
Neither KDE nor Gnome is installed.

Too bad this is not allowed, maybe add a temporary fix on the README for kde users?

[axtloss]

I added the instructions (see #30) although I'll keep this open until it's properly fixed

@axtloss
looked at the OBS Studio Flatpak definition and they seem to be able to use own-name just fine.
Also shows up when inspecting it with Flatseal.

https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/blob/ddba05c36cf89148533e4a2720154500560bc091/CI/flatpak/com.obsproject.Studio.json

[axtloss]

OBS doesn't go through the flathub build process, meaning they don't have to pass the flatpak linter checks, which is why they're able to use it

[aleksasiriski]

this also fixes the tray icon

SpacingBat3/WebCord#328 (comment)

[axtloss]

I'd recommend trying the owns permission fix before completely downgrading and masking the package

That fix is mainly for also broken Screen Share on Wayland, because of new Electron.

[Snaggly]

Hello, seems like this issue is still persisting. I can confirm that adding org.kde.StatusNotifierItem-3-1 to the "owns" section in FlatSeal also made the Webcord appindicator show up again under Plasma 5.26.4. However notification pop-ups do not show up still, when a new dm or message is being received.

[BenA0]

sway + waybar , arch
running in wayland

adding org.kde.StatusNotifierItem-3-1 to owns doesn't fix it.

EDIT: when adding org.kde.* to owns , tray icon is back, not sure which specifically causes it to work.

[jtfen86]

Fedora 37, Budgie desktop, no tray icon no matter which tweak I try. Even org.kde.* to owns did nothing. I have my flatpaks installed as user if that matters.

[SaladinAyyub]

For me worked by adding org.kde.* in Owns using flatseal

[bbhtt]

Webcord now uses Electron 25 which should no longer requires the workaround in the readme https://github.com/flathub/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord#fix-tray-icon (own-name=org.kde.*) due to this patch https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/4179380 (Included in Electron >=23.3.0)

Can you please test?

In my testing of Webcord and other apps, the org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher also seems to be not required.

[aleksasiriski]

Works for me without own-name=org.kde.*

[bbhtt]

Thanks
