unity - systray-whitelist

Published by guldi on April 11th, 2012 in unity, tipps, desktop, (x)ubuntu

Some apps do work with symbols in systray. For skype, dropbox thats in fact is working under unity. But some apps are simply not displayed. Eg. AeroFS

To allow every app to create a symbol in systray, give it a wildcard:

Execute dconf-editor (if not available, install it).
Set unity/panel/systray-whitelist to ['all']

Quit dconf, log off and on. Thats it.

If the Logitech MX5500 Mouse/Keyboard combo refuses to do the service, try this:

Uncomment this lines in the file /lib/udev/rules.d/62-bluez-hid2hci.rules (or similar):

# Logitech devices
#KERNEL=="hiddev*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c70[345abce]|c71[34bc]", \
#  RUN+="hid2hci --method=logitech-hid --devpath=%p"

Helped for me!
