[Bug 1546328] Re: Systray option does not work.

 

@ Dmitry. I was just reading the discussion in Ubuntu-devel and
wondering what to do. Without appmenu-qt5, the menu works from the
systray, but the icon is not animated. It just shows a red cross all the
time, which is misleading for the user.

So I guess we could just recommend it, and then it will be pulled in as
long as it is there. We can then try and work with upstream to get a
better forward looking fix for xenial + 1.

I would prefer that appmenu-qt5 is still around in xenial, because as
Len says, Qjackctl is a critical part of Ubuntu Studio, and we would
prefer a slick user experience.

@ Len. Have you had a chance to test the latest version in our testing
ppa? I noticed a second menu appearing underneath the "indicator" one,
which eventually goes away. It wasn't really that noticeable on my VM,
but it was running at less than half-screen size,

Title:
  Systray option does not work.

Status in Ubuntu Studio:
  New
Status in qjackctl package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Setting Qjackctl to "Enable system tray icon" does not display
  Qjackctl's icon and the menu provided by qjackctl from systray is
  blank. Further setting Qjackctl to "Start minimized to system tray"
  makes the application unusable.

  A reboot after Qjackctl to "Enable system tray icon" and  "Start
  minimized to system tray" are set, starting Qjackctl not only doesn't
  show Qjackctl's icon, but the mouse stops working correctly:

  The mouse moves ok, but does not have any hover effect or clicks so
  the menu no longer works and the only way to kill qjackctl is with
  control-alt-F1 (which does still work).

  Qjackctl is the main application used for controlling Jackd or
  jackdbus for those using any of the pro audio software.
