#139 Ubuntu 14.04 indicator missing

[figuu2014]

Hello.
I did not find guidelines for posting bugs, so don't hesitate tell me if this is the wrong way.

Problem: Indicator is missing
Parcellite-version: 1.1.9
System: ubuntu 14.04 64bit up-to-date as of 16.October.2014

Description of the problem:
The indicator for Parcellite is missing. I can start it and I can opent the menu with the hotkey. But the indicator does not show up.

I tried the version from the ppa which is to be found here: https://launchpad.net/~rickyrockrat/+archive/ubuntu/parcellite-appindicator

I tried to compile on my own. Strange thing is, libindicator is installed, compiling process does not give any strange output.

What could be the problem?

Running parcellite does not give any useful output as far as I see. Just this:

xxrrww:~$ parcellite

Sounds like it is a similar issue. How are you starting parcellite?

[figuu2014]

@rickyrockrat:

Thanks. I read throught it but this did not help. Indicator is not there even if parcellite is started from dash.I tried to start it with ALT+F2, also from terminal and dash. Even session start while login does not show the indicator.

[rickyrockrat]

please post the output of:
ps aux|grep indicator-mess

You should have a 'indicator-messages-service' process running.

If you want to troubleshoot, edit src/main.c:

At line 622
#warning "Have Appindicator"
At line 635
g_printf("Found %s\n",appindicator_process);

The first should spit out a warning that says Have Appindicator

The second should say Found indicator-messages-service when parcellite starts.

If the second doesn't print, try toggling the Preferences->Display->multiuser

[figuu2014]

It is working now. I did not know that I need indicator-messages running. Must have missed this.

Installed it and now parcellite shows the icon. Thanks for your help.

One last question: I'd like to have parcellite shown the history list when I click the indicator - like it works with clipit for example. I did not find a way to do this. Is this possible?

Cheers

Unfortunately, Unity only provides one behaviour for all apps, so I can no longer provide a right-click and a left-click, just the click. I am not a fan of Unity, and it really sucks that developers now have to do special programming just for Unity, so I've never messed with it. It would be possible to do this, but I would need to modify Parcellite just for Unity to make this happen.

The other issue is now how do I provide for the menu that does come up? It would mean doing some other fiddling for that. I'll think about it - perhaps a toggle that swaps the history hotkey with the menu click, so the hot key would bring up the menu now shown by clicking the icon, and the history by clicking the icon.
