Diodon

Diodon sometimes does not show up in system tray

Asked by Magnus

Sometimes diodon does not appear in the system tray, but the process keeps running. When that happens killing diodon and restarting it makes it appear on the system tray. I am using Ubuntu 20.04 with MATE Desktop.

I haven't seen this before. It sounds like Diodon is not responding.

Could you therefore start Diodon the following way and once the indicator disappears attach the log file to this question.

G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all diodon > diodon_debug.txt

Here is the log I got after the indicator disappeared:

It seems your are running an outdated version 1.9.0-daily.

Just a rough guess could it be that the ppa got deactivated when you upgraded to 20.04?

If so you can do the following (replace stable with daily if you want the daily branch) to activate again:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:diodon-team/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install diodon

Does this work?

Do you have another application which uses the application indicator menu? And does this app have the same issue?

When looking at the log file all looks good to me and it could be that the application indicator crashes. And when you start Diodon again it calls the indicator through the Dbus service which makes it start again.
In this case the problem would not be with Diodon but with the application indicator service.

I use Liferea, Deluge, Megasync, and have the Wifi and volume indicators. Diodon is the only indicator that disappears.

I have finally gotten around to install Ubuntu MATE 20.04 on a virtual machine to try to reproduce your issue. I wasn't able too though. Diodon always remains in the notification area whatever I do.

Can you reproduce the issue so you know what action you take when Diodon disappears (maybe you are copying from a specific app or something)?

Also is the above log the complete log till Diodon actually disappears?

The log is the complete log since Diodon starts until it disappears. I'll see if I can reproduce the issue but it doesn't happen frequently. Usually I notice Diodon is gone when I look at the tray and see it's missing.
