Order Cubbit

Where is the Cubbit tray icon on Linux?

  • Updated

On some Linux desktop environments the Cubbit Tray Icon may not appear in the taskbar/panel.

To fix this issue you first need to know what desktop environment you are currently using. If you don’t know it just type this command in your Terminal window:

$ echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

Then follow the steps under the appropriate environment below!

 

 Gnome

With the Gnome desktop environment you need to install the AppIndicator extension with the following command:

$ sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-appindicator

Then enable KStatusNotifierItem/AppIndicator Support in the Extension Preferences.

To open the Gnome Extension Preferences simply type:

$ gnome-shell-extension-prefs

 

 XFCE

If you have the XFCE desktop environment you need the StatusNotifier plugin.

Install it with:

$ sudo apt install xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin

Then enable it by going in Settings and Panel, then open the Items tab and add the Status Notifier Plugin.

 

Cinnamon

If you have the Cinnamon desktop environment you need to open Settings/System Settings and press:

Enable support for indicator (Requires Cinnamon restart)
