libappindicator-gtk3

#1 Post by fhins »

I use Dropbox, and I've been getting this following message on 1/3 (one of three) computers only.
"Dropbox can't load the libappindicator library for the tray icon. Starting May 27, 2025, Dropbox updates will need this libarary".
I can't find this libappindicator anywhere in the MX Package installer. However, libappindicator-gtk3 is installed by default on my Manjaro computer.
How can I fix this?

libappindicator was abandoned and replaced by libayatana-appindicator3-1, which provides libappindicator3-1

Yes, that fixed the problem. Strangely that was already installed by default on my other computer, but not this one!
Thanks for the tip!
