I personally am using Unity, I don't like Gnome3 :)
Indicator should work in gnome3 as it did previously, 18.04 version should be ready in couple of hours, I'll try to install that in VM and let's see what happens.

For me it installed the package
the service seems to be running
but i am unable to run the gui - and i don't see any error, or log that i can use to decipher the issue

Had to reinstall ubuntu 16.04 on the family desktop as I couldn't get timekpr working in 18.04.

Well, I have discovered an odd situation in packaging, which I'll resolve shortly... It seems that Ubuntu changed some packang scrits which just replace python with python2 and drops the rest in trash...
I'll try to fix it today...

Those crazy Gnome devs removed "systray" altogether, no more little nice status icons in vanilla gnome :( This means TimeKpr shows the icon, but Gnome won't show it to You...

To get them back, You need to install "TopIcons" extension from Gnome Extensions page https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/495/topicons/ .
