same issue on debian 7, gnome 3, python 2.7.5+

Vijay Dhama · Answer 2 · Fri Nov 29 2013 21:56:43 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Same on Ubuntu 13.10, Python 2.7.5+

same on opensuse 13.1

It seems cause by the losing icon.

cd /usr/share/pixmaps
wget https://raw.github.com/captn3m0/hackertray/master/images/hacker-tray.png

It works well. But it should have a patch for this environment dependency path issues.

ps. update you requests version for the TypeError: 'list' object is not callable issues

The setup.py file forces the image to be packaged, so I'm not sure why it is missing.

package_data={'hackertray': ['../images/hacker-tray.png']},

Omeid · Answer 6 · Fri Nov 29 2013 23:03:55 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Same on Fedora 19.

Run wget https://raw.github.com/captn3m0/hackertray/master/images/hacker-tray.png as mentioned by @ltaoist in either of these directories:

   '/usr/bin/images'
   '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/hackertray-1.5-py2.7.egg/hackertray/images
   '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/hackertray-1.5-py2.7.egg/images
   '/usr/share/pixmaps'

Also, I used easy_install, could it be that it works with pip but not easy_install?

Nemo · Answer 7 · Fri Nov 29 2013 23:59:10 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

While I get onto this bug, could you please review my initial idea for comment links in the app. Just click #12

As for fedora 19, does not work either using pip per the question above.

Pavlos Ratis · Answer 9 · Sat Nov 30 2013 00:56:23 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Same issue for Gentoo, Python 2.7.5+

Maksim Soltan · Answer 10 · Sat Nov 30 2013 01:15:47 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Same here. OpenSUSE 13.1 + Mate + Xmonad.

Nemo · Answer 11 · Sat Nov 30 2013 01:22:05 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

An alternative would be to install the libappindicator package. Its available for Arch, Fedora(?), and other distros. You can also try the AppIndicator Support Extension available for Gnome Shell users.

Maksim Soltan · Answer 12 · Sat Nov 30 2013 01:51:02 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

light icon with transparent background if anyone needs this.

Omeid · Answer 13 · Sat Nov 30 2013 12:25:55 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@Gonzih That looks heaps better on i3bar. @captn3m0 Perhaps you should package the transparent icon too?

Nemo · Answer 14 · Sat Nov 30 2013 14:15:08 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I've pushed to 1.7 with a fix for this. Please let me know if it doesn't work. Upgrade instructions are in the README.

Maksim Soltan · Answer 15 · Sat Nov 30 2013 14:28:36 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Works fine for me, thank you!

I'm still getting the same error after upgrading, reinstalling, and removing pip's temp files as described in the readme. I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 and hackertray 1.7.

Oh, and I installed via pip sometime less than an hour ago.

Nemo · Answer 17 · Sat Nov 30 2013 17:05:56 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@slang800 A workaround is to download the source, and run sudo python setup.py install manually. I'm still investigating why pip is missing the images folder while installing.

Maksim Soltan · Answer 18 · Sat Nov 30 2013 17:06:34 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I use easy_install on opensuse, works fine.

Nemo · Answer 19 · Sat Nov 30 2013 17:08:45 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Yeah. Just tried easy_install. The issue seems to be with pip. pip is installing the image to /usr/local/images/ for some reason.

Sean Lang · Answer 20 · Sat Nov 30 2013 17:32:37 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Thanks! Using easy_install fixed the starting issue, however, when I run hackertray nothing shows up in the tray... it just lists off urls:

$ hackertray

Am I doing something wrong?

Nemo · Answer 21 · Sat Nov 30 2013 17:34:24 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@slang800 As long as each url is separated by 5 minutes, its fine. I thought printing the url when hackertray refreshes would be a nice thing to have. Might remove in next version.

Sean Lang · Answer 22 · Sat Nov 30 2013 17:35:25 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Yeah, the urls aren't the issue - it's the fact that nothing appears in the tray
