I used Workrave for years under Windows Vista and it was very useful. When Microsoft stopped supporting Vista I switched to Linux. Recently it occurred to me to see if I could get Workrave again. I installed it but there is no system tray icon, although I know it's running because it puts up the notifications. Also the notifications don't have Skip or Postpone buttons, even though I selected them in Preferences. Also, if I bring up Preferences, the tiny window (with the timers) disappears when I close the preferences window, so after that (since there's no tray icon) I can't get at Workrave's controls unless I forcibly end the program using System Monitor and then start again. I'm using Zorin OS 9 (a variant of Ubuntu, possibly Ubuntu Trusty, at least some things in the update window sometimes mention the word "Trusty") and, I think, the Gnome desktop environment - sorry, I'm a bit new to Linux. What's the equivalent of Windows's System Information window, do you know? Would appreciate some help with getting the wretched thing to work, please! It's a very handy program if only it'll work. |
