udiskie -t/-T don't works on ubuntu 14.04 about udiskie HOT 6 CLOSED

Hey,

thanks for your report. Can you start udiskie from a terminal like so:

udiskie -vt

and show me the output. Maybe there are hints as to why this doesn't work for you.

Hey. The output does not show any failures. Fortunately, I have an ubuntu 14.04 VM which allowed me to track the issue.

The problem seems to be a general issue which affects most applications on ubuntu. As far as I understand, canonical basically disabled the systray for all applications by default.

The suggestion in HOW TO ENABLE SYSTRAY APPS IN UBUNTU 14.04 OR 14.10 worked for me:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gurqn/systray-trusty
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
# now restart

I don't know, if I can recommend the method, since it means adding non-standard repository to your package manager, which may in the extreme case endanger your system. Maybe you can also find something useful in this stackoverflow thread or somewhere else on the web.

Hope this helps.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your help. I have search about this problem before open this issue. The best solution for this case maybe support app indicators (unity/ubuntu) on diskie. Two years ago i have started a pet project similiar to udiskie (https://github.com/fenrrir/bdin). Recently ubuntu drops udisks(1) and migrate to udisks2 then my project breaks. Searching for python and udisks2 I found your project. Udiskie is awesome and much better that bdin. Now, i'm in doubt, port bdin to udisks2 or add support to appindicators in udiskie. Do you have interest?

Best regards,

Hey, in principle I have nothing against an appindicators backend for the udiskie status icon. But you'd have to maintain it, since I'm not using ubuntu.

It should be quite easy to modify the TrayIcon (and AutoTray) classes to optionally use the gi.repository.AppIndicator3.Indicator (or a lightweight wrapper thereof) instead of gi.repository.Gtk.StatusIcon.

That being said, I will probably rewrite some of that code soon:

• to clean up the messy tray icon code
• to make all UI and IO operations asynchronous, so that the UI does not block and there will be less race conditions
• GTK3 has deprecated icons in menu (much to my annoyment). Not sure yet, how I will handle this.

Hey,

don't know if you are still interested but I finally decided to implement this feature. However, it has to be requested explicitly. In order to use appindicators, you have to start udiskie as

udiskie -t --appindicators

Since I won't be actively checking udiskie on ubuntu it is likely that this may break at some point. In case there are any problems, error reports are always welcome.
