Unity desktop tray icon display problem under Ubuntu14.04_weixin_30813225’s blog

At first, I wanted to enrich the functions, so I started to install Eye-opener: 10 powerful Indicator applets under Ubuntu The Indicator applet here.

Unfortunately, when installing indicator-multiload, when I was about to log out to see the effect, after logging in, I found that the unity desktop was blurry and flickering, and then there were only a few tray icons left on the status bar.

So I uninstalled the Indicator applet installed before, but it still has no effect.

Then search online and find this solution Ubuntu 14.04 system tray icon problem, skype tray icon display , although the problem is solved, but the non-system icons will be very close together, which looks very awkward.

So, continue to find a solution.

Found this How to reset Unity and Compiz settings on Ubuntu 14.04, not only did not solve the problem, but put the input method The icons are gone again! !

But at this time, I thought of the previous solution Ubuntu 14.04 system tray icon problem, skype tray icon displayedIt mentioned one point – “The technology currently used by Ubuntu Unity desktop is indicator-application-

service”, so, with a flash of inspiration, I tried to install indicator-application, that is, sudo apt-get install indicator-application.

Logout, login, all icons are back! ! And the spacing is the same! ! !

In summary: Although I personally feel that the problem is caused by the indicator-application, I still release the entire solution process for your reference.

P.S: You must be patient when tossing in Ubuntu, because objectively speaking, it will eventually be resolved, it is only a matter of time…

In addition, a good thing found during the search process teach you 6 steps to customize your Ubuntu desktop , Customize Ubuntu yourself, it’s very cool! !
