Open the app, navigate with your eyes to the system’s dock, see nothing
Hi Pedro,
Thank you for the report.
I suspect that you didn’t install the app via .deb package?
Hi Takuya,
I did - its a brand new installation. Also my Ubuntu install is quite fresh (from 2 days ago).
Best regards,
Pedro
That’s weird.
Do you have /usr/share/applications/inkdrop.desktop installed?
The file should contain below:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=inkdrop
Comment=The Note-taking App with Robust Markdown Editor
GenericName=inkdrop
Exec=inkdrop %U
Icon=inkdrop
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility;
Yep - it’s exactly the same.
scp → git fix-warnings* → cat /usr/share/applications/inkdrop.desktop [scp]
[Desktop Entry]
Name=inkdrop

Thank you for the report.
Hmm, I’m afraid that I don’t understand why it doesn’t work. I can’t reproduce it.
BTW, our Snap app has been recently rolled out. Could you try it?

Hi Takuya,
I tried the snap version and the same issue occurs.
I also asked a friend who’s also running Ubuntu 18.04 to install it and she had the same issue - the icon would never pop in the system’s menu.
Maybe you’re running a different window manager?
We got Ubuntu 18.04 in English running on Gnome 3 (standard WM) logging in through GDM.
Thank you for trying the snap app.
I’m using Gnome 3 on Ubuntu 18.04, too.
I will try setting up new Ubuntu for reproducing the issue.
I tried the snap app on a brand new installation of Ubuntu 18.04.1 that is downloaded from here.
As you can see, the app icon is showing on the system tray:
I haven’t done anything after the installation completed.
Just in case, here I put a list of gnome packages so that you can find missing packages:
Also please check XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP variable, according to this thread. It is set to ubuntu:GNOME in my environment:
$ echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
ubuntu:GNOME
