Regression: Support dropped for Plasma 5 in 0.6.0

[filipesaraiva]

Hi @foudfou, I am using FireTray with Plasma 5 since the initial version with this support. After the upgrade to 0.6.0 version, FireTray doesn't work anymore.

I made some investigations looking for a problem with my Linux distribution. When I run Thunderbird from terminal, I get:

14:33:39.47 ERROR firetray.StatusIcon Missing libappindicator for gtk2

But that library is installed here. So, I removed 0.6.0 and installed 0.5.7pre1 and FireTray worked properly again.

I think, there is a regression with 0.6.0 version in Plasma 5.

Hi, what version is installed exactly ? Could you provide ls -l /usr/lib/libappind* or equivalent ? Can you also remind me about your environment ?

Currently I have installed 0.5.7pre1 because it is working correctly. 0.6.0 is not working for me.

I am using Plasma 5.4.2 and my Thunderbird is the 38.3.0 version. I don't have any library in /usr/lib/ because my system is 64bits. The libraries are installed in /usr/lib64. See:

[filipe@anubis ~]$ ls -l /usr/lib64/libappind*
root root 25 Set 5 16:57 /usr/lib64/libappindicator3.so.1 -> libappindicator3.so.1.0.0*
root root 53688 Set 5 16:57 /usr/lib64/libappindicator3.so.1.0.0*

Maybe is the problem related with libraries location?

Ok so the problem is you're using gtk2-build of TB, but you're missing libappindicator for gtk2. You need libappindicator1, basically /usr/lib64/libappindicator.so.1.
