Message 58303 - Posted: 29 Nov 2014, 18:10:05 UTC

Per: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/974480 the old way of using the notification area (indicators) is obsolete. Apparently, it has been deprecated for some time and from somewhere about 12.10 and certainly in 13.* and 14.*, the indicators don't work.

Can someone have a look at the code for Boinc Manager and abide by the new standard please?

I'll file a bug if desired.

For those not wanting to wait for this change, there is this workaround available. I just tried it on 14.04 and it is working. Time will tell if it continues to work over time.

What in BOINC Manager would be using this then?
Edit: It's probably better to post this on the BOINC Developers email list. http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev, requires registration.
