After an upgrade to Python 3.11, you need to rebuild this package (and all Python packages in the AUR).

installing libappindicator-gtk3 breaks the timer functionality in the tray icon (it just goes missing) for me on both kde plasma and gnome (different computers). Works fine without it.

Developer here. I don't *think* this'll work on wayland. What compositor are you using? The tray icon SHOULD show up it sway. Not sure about others. Also, maybe installing `libappindicator-gtk3` makes a difference? I'm currently working on a version that'll properly support wayland, but it's still very green, TBH.

Does this work on Wayland for anyone? The app seems to launch without any errors for me when I run it from a terminal but the tray icon is not visible.

The package was bumped (due to a new release), but some people update their pythons after others, so there are still issues. I agree that having this in community would be great, but you need a TU to commit to that (I'm not a TU, obviously).

Returning to the discussion about the need of rebuilding the package (for no reason besides of me having time to write a comment :)). caffeine-ng has only one AUR dependency, python-ewmh. I think, bumping those two packages whenever python gets updated would solve the recurrent startup problem. The best solution would be probably to get it into community/ repo since caffeine-ng is really useful, sufficiently popular imho and, as I said, has only one AUR dependency.

@hobarrera: Sorry, my bad!

@matschi: python-ewmh is already listed as a dependency.

matschi commented on 2017-02-07 23:30 (UTC)

I needed to install the python-ewmh package. Might need to add this as a dependency.

just rebuilding python-ewmh worked for me.
