Description aguador 2018-12-07 01:06:09 CET

For the last few major releases, Enlightenment has replaced an Xembed systray with an SNI/appindicator compliant one. However, mgaonline seems not to provide an indicator for such a systray.

As a work around, I have stalonetray installed on my Cauldron system, and the update indicator will appear there (although not much as I check virtually everytime I sign on to the system!). The indicator does not appear in the E systray which is running on my shelf/panel.

I am not a programmer, but if there is any way I can help with an indicator, I am more than willing to do so.

TO REPLICATE:

Install E enabling mgaonline in Preferences > Applications > Startup applications. Place a systray on a shelf: right-click on a shelf, then select Contents, scroll down to system tray, click on it, then click Add.

Now, on a system that is not up to date, wait for mgaonline to check for available updates. No indicator will appear.

SNI support was added last year, it should be not so hard to update it

Does changing:
   if ($ENV{DESKTOP_SESSION} =~ /plasma$/i) {
into:
   if ($ENV{DESKTOP_SESSION} =~ /plasma$|enlightenment/i) {
in /bin/mgaapplet works for you?

Thierry, Thank you. That did the trick. It's in the E systray and works perfectly.

While I have not been loading net_applet, I set it to load on my Mga6 system and modified the corresponding line there, and, voila! that notifier appears as well.  I don't know if there are other applets that might benefit from the same mod, so I will leave this for you to decide and close this report.

Thank you again.

Should now be fixed in cauldron for both mgaapplet and net_applet.

Confirmed. Both installed and working with notifications in the E systray, thank you Martin.

Resolution: (none) => FIXED
