Description André M 2019-05-16 22:12:30 UTC

SUMMARY

On first plasma startup after upgrade over an existing installation/config, I noticed only the widgets were present on the systray, and the applications were missing. Also tested on a fresh user/environment, same result.
Apps like Akregator and VLC, which worked fine, print a line on console:

org.kde.knotifications: env says KDE is running but SNI unavailable -- check KDE_FULL_SESSION and XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start new session
2. Start an app on konsole which usually shows a system tray icon (like vlc 3.0.6)

OBSERVED RESULT

App systray icon is missing, above line printed on terminal

EXPECTED RESULT

App icon shown

Comment 1 David Edmundson 2019-05-16 22:58:32 UTC

Can I see the output of

qdbus org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher /StatusNotifierWatcher org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher.IsStatusNotifierHostRegistered

Comment 2 André M 2019-05-16 23:15:01 UTC

$ qdbus org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher /StatusNotifierWatcher org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher.IsStatusNotifierHostRegistered
Service 'org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher' does not exist.

Not sure if related, but there's a 'org.kde.StatusNotifierHost-25560' service.
/use/bin/xembedsniproxy is started and continues running for the session. Killing it and running by hand doesn't produce any output in terminal, although the command block in the foreground while running.

Comment 3 Antonio Rojas 2019-05-17 08:01:54 UTC

Can you check if kded5 is running? This may be bug 407614

Comment 4 André M 2019-05-17 22:01:56 UTC

Just checked on clean account, kded5 process is live, but systray still missing

Comment 5 David Edmundson 2019-06-11 11:43:30 UTC

Not had any other reports. Is this still an issue?

From your qdbus line kded5 is not running or at least not loading the sni plugin.

Please confirm it's live on the same setup as the rest of your debug output.

Comment 6 André M 2019-06-11 18:52:53 UTC

Can't reproduce on 5.16 stable. Working fine now with packages from Arch testing. Thank you.
