Bug - Orage icon missing in the systray for V4.20. [Solved]

[oops]

... No problem.

[dolphin_oracle]

did you get any errors during install of the test repo version? I get a bunch of errors.

[dolphin_oracle]

ok I managed to cleanup my damaged install.

orage 4.20 does not have a systray icon. there isn't even an option for it. there is an option to show on the taskbar, but that's different.

so they removed it.

It think this is intentional. the changelog says

Code: Select all

- Disabled tray icon by default, (MR !66, MR !64)

https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/orage/-/merge_requests/66 has some more information. apparently the orage clock plugin has some of the features.

Ok , So I will keep the v4.18.0-0~mx23 version ... Thanks for the info. dolphin_oracle.

( "did you get any errors during install of the test repo version? I get a bunch of errors." ... yes 2 steps were needed for me too)

This just happened to me when I tried to upgrade orage and a few other xfce packages from the test repo.
I purged orage* and then in installed it from the test repo and had no errors.

@Stevo the orage 4.20 package has issues when updating over the existing 4.18 package. not sure what's going on there. installs clean if orage is not already installed. maybe need to add a conflict to the control file so that orage is removed before upgrading the new one.

That seems likely, as it's not backported from upstream Debian.

However, the panel plugin was removed in the previous release, 4.18, which we have in MX 23 main, so I'm confused as to why it now disappeared, unless it's not a direct backport from Debian.

Code: Select all

orage (4.18.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Team upload.
  * New upstream version 4.18.0.
    - Added Wayland support. (Issue #2, Closes: #1018717)
    - Drop patch upstreamed.
  * d/control: Drop B-D on libdbus-glib-1-dev and libxfce4panel-2.0-dev.
  * d/orage.install: Panel plugin was removed, update accordingly.
  * Update Standards-Version to 4.6.2.

The problem is that our 4.18 installs the .service file as part of the orage-data file instead of the main orage file as Debian does, so I'll have it conflict with that.

Code: Select all

trying to overwrite '/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.orage.service', which is also in package orage-data 4.18.0-0~mx23
