Description thedatum+bz 2023-03-05 18:30:33 UTC
Description of problem:
Xpad system tray icon is missing.
Issue is with version 5.8, which is packaged for Fedora 37. Version 5.3 in Fedora 36 works fine.
Problem seems to be due to the missing dependency of libayatana-appindicator package, which Xpad switched to since version 5.7, instead of libappindicator.
Solution would be to package the libayatana-appindicator dependency.
A workaround could be to remain on Xpad version 5.3 in Fedora 37 as in Fedora 36, until libayatana-appindicator becomes available.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
version 5.8

How reproducible:
Always

That unfortunate. ;( 

I don't have any time in the near term to package that up, but hopefully someone will... 

Thanks for the detailed and informative bug!

Dear Kevin!

I understand you have no time to make 5.8 work.
Please revert to 5.3 until 5.8 is properly packaged.

For anyone wanted to have a working xpad again:
mock --rebuild https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/36/Everything/source/tree/Packages/x/xpad-5.3.0-8.fc36.src.rpm
sudo dnf install /var/lib/mock/fedora-*-x86_64/result/xpad-5.3.0-8.fc*.x86_64.rpm

FYI: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/till/xpad/packages/ contains a working xpad using the new ayatana libraries as an alternative to comment:2

Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2023-10-02 23:47:11 UTC
Do you have any plans to submit the ayatana libs for review?

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 37 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 37 on 2023-12-05.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '37'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 37 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
