ANSWERED Tray icon missing on CachyOS

Hey team,

The system tray icon has been missing on my CachyOS install lately.  A similar issue is affecting Signal right now, it's likely to be the same cause.

What's the Eddie version? Which AUR package did you install? (or official .tar.zst from here?)
I don't believe it's related to the Electron bug – I would've had it on vanilla Arch otherwise. I don't have the problem with 2.26.2, but I've got most other appindicator-related packages installed: eddie-ui-git depends on libayatana-appindicator, and I've also installed ayatana-ido, libappindicator and libayatana-indicator. Some software or another seems to depend on one or a mix of them, it's a bit of a mess, really.

When you install them, comment out the aur repo in pacman.conf, then rebuild eddie-ui (or -git, whatever you've got installed) with your AUR helper (or however you install AUR packages). Check whether the icon is still missing after that.
And if you absolutely have to, remove the comments in pacman.conf (though, for the sake of a well-working system, please build AUR packages yourself..)

Rebuilding solved it, thank you!
