Description Craig 2015-02-03 22:14:33 UTC

After switching to Plasma 5.2 on Arch Linux (latest) realized there is no way to tell when Telepathy is running as the IM Status Icon is no longer available in the Plasma 5 systray probably due to the changes in that regard, however even with libappindicator and sni-qt lib32-sni-qt unfortunately still does not display as I don't believe those libs are utilized in Telepathy unfortunately. Any upcoming update to either add utilization of those libs to the current telepathy or add a new package for Plasma5 (similar to telepathy-kde-desktop-applets I believe which handles that? [but has dependency on old KDE4). Thanks and can't wait to see Plasma 5 continue to solidify as with Telepathy which I have come to love!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open IM Contacts or other Telepathy element on Plasma 5.x

Actual Results:  
No Status Icon in Tray

Expected Results:  
Status Icon in Tray to determine when it's running and its status

I understand Plasma 5.2 is still being developed as are the applications which are rallying to provide support and therefore understand this may be yet to come/still in development so no problem there, I just could not find a similar report in the system so I submitted here, hopefully it's coming soon! 

Additionally, I read a post on one of your developers blogs from back in July-August I believe which mentioned Plasma5 support was in development during a sprint a while back and was almost there, if I'm missing a package or otherwise to resolve just let me know, thanks!

Thanks for getting in touch.

So all of KDE Telepathy is ported to Plasma 5 and everything works, but it will be released together with KDE Applications 15.04 in April.

Till that time, you can either ask your distribution to provide daily builds of KDE Telepathy, or you can build it yourself (it's not that hard but takes a bit of time) or you'll just have to wait, sorry :)

Hey Martin,
Thanks for replying so quickly! Ahhh I see no problem at all, I'll check the AUR as I'm sure it's already there via git otherwise will build myself, wasn't aware you guys already had it handled:) Thanks for all your guys' amazing work!
