Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop-app/issues/171

Describe the bug
The AppImage distribution of the Drop desktop client does not come with libappindicator3 or libayatana-appindicator3, which causes it not to run on my system. I have tried installing them from system repositories, which has not solved my issue.

I confirmed that they are not there by running the appimage with the --appimage-mount flag and searching the usr/lib directory of the image for "appindicator" and found nothing.

Unless there is a good reason for this, I suggest that they be included in future releases or made optional dependencies so as not to defeat the purpose of AppImages.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Arch Linux
  • App Version: 0.3.4_amd64.AppImage

closing as i now know that this seems to be a known problem, and setting NO_TRAY_ICON=true allows the program to run
