No tray icon #18

devurandom · 2020-04-06T06:58:10Z

Since updating to Zulip 5.0.0 (#13, #14), after startup no window appears and no tray icon is shown. #10 and #17 did not fix this. It does not matter whether I start Zulip from KRunner / KDE Plasma or from the command line. With Zulip 4.0.3 this still worked: After startup a tray icon was shown.

Do you mean flatpak run org.zulip.Zulip does not start the application?

I get the following on my systems (Debian Bullseye and Pop!_OS 19.10):

Sadly, I am using GNOME exclusively, so interactions with the tray icon aren't something I can test and fix myself.

devurandom · 2020-04-06T12:24:45Z

Do you mean flatpak run org.zulip.Zulip does not start the application?

It does start and it keeps running, but it does not show an application window or a tray icon.

I ran jq '.startMinimized=false' .var/app/org.zulip.Zulip/config/Zulip/config/settings.json and saved the ouput in the same file. Now the Zulip window comes up after starting the app. The tray icon is still missing, though.

So you're not seeing the window shown on the screenshot above? Even after ensuring no leftover process is running in the background?

fdcds · 2020-04-06T13:53:57Z

I see the same behaviour on:

Operating System: Fedora 31
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.67.0
Qt Version: 5.13.2
Kernel Version: 5.5.13-200.fc31.x86_64
OS Type: 64-bit

flatpak ps shows no org.zulip.Zulip processes and neither does ps aux | rg zulip.

No, I do not see the video from the screenshot after starting Zulip. This can be explained by startMinimized=true in my settings. With Zulip starting minimized to the tray and no tray icon being shown, that explains why I saw "nothing".

I later changed startMinimized to false (#18 (comment); I originally swapped true and false when writing my comment; sorry for any confusion this might have caused) and then the window appeared after starting Zulip. But the tray icon was still missing.

Operating System: Gentoo Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.14.1
Kernel Version: 5.5.14
OS Type: 64-bit

sorry for any confusion this might have caused

Then, you won't mind if I retitle this issue to remove said confusion.

the tray icon was still missing

Looking at other Electron-based chat clients (RocketChat, Riot, Discord), it seems that support for tray icons is a headache.

Could you try running the flatpak with --env=XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity?

At the time I wrote the title, I did not yet know whether Zulip's behaviour might have changed to no longer support minimisation to tray.

Same behaviour: Window only appears when startMinimized=false and the tray icon never appears.

The move from v4.0.3 to v5.0.0 also upgraded Electron to v8.x which is bringing pain to everyone concerning tray icons. See the following issue or this one for instance. Upstream should probably get involved with this.

Thanks for digging this up!

Upstream claims this is fixed with version 5.3.0: zulip/zulip-desktop#936 (comment)

lazka · 2020-09-07T18:31:11Z

Seems to work here. Can anyone confirm?

I am at 5.4.2 and the issue is fixed on both my Gentoo and my Fedora system.
