Teamviewer tray icon does not appear in AWN

I am having a problem (another one) with AWN in Zorin 8: when I start TeamViewer the tray icon does not show in AWN, instead it shows in a window of its own.
Anybody else seeing this?

p.s. It seems to me all the problems with AWN are due to the indicator 3 applet.

Hi, I would agree with you on that one. I have got the Ultimate version and Skype comes preinstalled (I know you are talking about teamviewer I am just relating a similar issue reported by maccabbeo) and in Ultimate the Skype icon appears in indicator 3 applet but does not show what you would normally get in Windows (off-line, Available, Away) etc and not sure if this is a 'Skype for Linux' glitch or not. I hope to be doing a Kazam capture of post install modifications like I did for Zorin 6 on my veoh.com channel - stay tuned!

Swarfendor437,
I agree with you.

I have the same Skype problem as maccabbeo. Moreover, I have another PC with Linux Manjaro and Skype is working perfectly on it, even showing off-line, available, away statuses, so the problem is not in Skype itself.

I chose Zorin for my wife's PC, because she was a Windows user. We are both satisfied with it, the only real problem I see is with AWN.

I wonder if you dropped back to Zorin 6 you would still have the same issue - noticed zinzan has done this and all his issues with 8 seemed to have disappeared!

I did not have the problem with TeamViewer on Zorin 6,
However, I already had the problem with Skype tray menu.

Must have responded on a different Skype thread - the 'online, away etc' as these show 'scroll like' but only once you have signed in.

Ah yes, but I'm not referring to that problem.
I was referring to the problem where the menu does not appear when you click on the tray icon.

I will try and install teamviewer and get back to you.

Great, thanks!

't was a busy day yesterday - I will try and do this evening at home!

OK, I have done a video but I need to edit out the bits that show my machine number in teamviewer!

Can show you a screenshot of Teamviewer icon in my panel for now though!



OK, it was tricky to do! When I launched 'Team Viewer 9' (32-bit as 64-bit is known not to install!) I had to right-click the icon that appeared in the panel and then select 'Create Launcher'. To do this I had to send the menu item to the desktop as a shortcut ('Create Desktop Shortcut' after right-clicking Menu icon for teamviewer):



I then 'right-clicked' the desktop shortcut and selected 'Properties' which presented the image above - then copied the highlighted command into the Application Launcher dialog box:



To change the icon from 'Application Launcher' to teamviewer took a bit of searching but I should have paid more attention to the 'command' which gives the clue! Go to the root file system and look for the 'opt' folder, then teamviewer9 | tv_bin | desktop - and therein is the teamviewer.png!

Swarfendor437,
the problem is not the launcher, but the TeamViewer icon in the tray.
However, I am almost sure that I installed the 64bit version.
I will post some screenshots and some more details in the evening, as I am not near the Zorin PC now.

Thank you for your help btw.

I have 64-bit so went for that but have seen numerous postings that it will not work on Ubuntu 64-bit and suspect that is your problem. No issue whatsoever using 32-bit - but you obviously got further than I did!

Hi, here is the screenshot. As you can see the tray icon is not in the tray, but instead it is in a floating bar of its own.
Unfortunately I have been unable to determine if it's the 64bit or the 32bit version of TeamViewer.
I'll try to uninstall it and install the 32bit one when I have some free time.

Thank you!

Just install TeamViewer .deb on ZOS8 64-bit via GDebi PzAckage Installer from Software Center instead of installing using Software Center.
Works Perfect...all icon's are on taskbar instead on desktop.

Here's the 64-bit .deb file link : http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux.deb

Hi Gizmuntu, I did try using Gdebi in ZOS8 64-bit Ultimate and it refuses to install due to reports elsewhere of a dependency named 'lib322asound2':

I have no issues with 32-bit so surprised that you and Cris70 managed to install!

I know you don't have a problem with the [menu?] launcher - but if you follow my tip of creating a desktop shortcut first, you can then create a new launcher from scratch and just copy the 'run' command in the properties dialog to create one that sticks in the tray!
