No icon in Debian 11 bullseye

[cs96and]

I recently upgraded to Debian 11 (bullseye). I installed safeeyes through apt (v2.0.6), but there is no system tray icon appearing in KDE plasma.

Safeeyes does work though and correctly pops up a reminder about an upcoming break, and the break screen itself.

One possible solution might be using what workrave is using for the trayicon

I think someone had submitted a fix. However, having gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1 in my end, doesn't solve the problem.

No icon on fedora kde 36 also.

Problem solved, safeeyes from third-party repo was missing libappindicator-gtk3 dep.

@slgobinath could you release a new version including the fix of this bug (basically the current HEAD)? Right now Debian would have to either cherry-pick the commit / have their own special version, which is unfortunate given that the fix is already there.

The Debian testing is also freezing its packages soon (early next year I think) so it'd be awesome if this fix could be shipped before that.

See the corresponding bug on Debian.

Hi @hiqua , Thanks for reminding me on this. I've released a new version https://github.com/slgobinath/SafeEyes/releases/tag/v2.1.4 from the current master branch.

My apologies to the community for not being active as I used to be due to several other commitments.

Awesome, thanks a lot!
