Description Iñaki Ucar 2023-03-23 12:42:21 UTC
Currently, we have
	
Recommends:     (gnome-shell-extension-appindicator if gnome-shell)

But actually this is needed for the tray icon to show up in KDE too (probably other desktops too?). So we should drop the gnome-shell condition, and recommend the appindicator extension unconditionally.

That can't be right. gnome-shell extension doesn't do anything under KDE.
Do you have libappindicator-gtk3 installed?

Comment 2 Iñaki Ucar 2023-03-23 13:06:58 UTC
You are right:

- Undid the transaction in which I installed gnome-shell-extension-appindicator
- Checked that solaar does not show up again in the tray
- Installed libappindicator-gtk3
- Checked that solaar appears again

So that's the correct assessment. In such case, maybe libappindicator-gtk3 should be in Requires?

Comment 3 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2023-03-23 14:32:49 UTC
solaar doesn't depend on gtk3 (or even any GUI libs) directly and I'd like to keep it that way,
because it can be used from the command line, too. I'll add a Recommends: libappindicator-gtk3, though.

Comment 4 Iñaki Ucar 2023-03-23 14:40:15 UTC
Ok, that works too in desktop environments where Recommends are installed by default. Thanks!
