After installing the deb (oddly asking me to downgrade to your supplied version) and logging back in, I was greeted with an error from my HP printer drivers saying there is no detected system tray and it's unable to start (attached).
Discord and MegaSync still appear in the tray so I don't know what that's all about. The stutter/lag caused by discord still exists but it's MUCH improved. It's much harder to perceive, but it's certainly still there. I'd estimate the lags are 5-10x shorter in duration. I am testing on an AMD 5950X CPU so it's not caused by a lack of processing power. How do I restore the package back to my system maintainers version? ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2020-11-17 21-18-54.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/+bug/1849142/+attachment/5435124/+files/Screenshot%20from%202020-11-17%2021-18-54.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-appindicator in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849142 Title: appindicator extension slows down GUI spamming the log with "[AppIndicatorSupport-FATAL] unable to lookup icon ..." or "Impossible to lookup icon" Status in gnome-shell-extension-appindicator package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell-extension-appindicator source package in Focal: Fix Committed Bug description: [ Impact ] Using discord application, causes the shell to slowdown and trigger lots of "unable to lookup icon ..." errors [ Test case ] Install discord app: - snap install discord Run it, starting a call seems to trigger it more [ Regression potential ] Icons may not be loaded properly, there may be delays between a good icon and an invalid one (and vice-versa). --- Updated bug #1817073 about this, but it's not really the same since this does not crash the shell fully. When speaking in discord there is supposed to be an icon change on the appindicator and logs spam me with [AppIndicatorSupport-FATAL] unable to lookup icon for discord1_40. The whole desktop freezes for a moment when talking in discord if the appindicator package is installed. Easily reproduced by joining a voice channel in discord and just doing stuff in the gnome ui, watching a video or whatever while talking. This is pretty bad since it leaves no choice but to uninstall gnome- shell-extension-appindicator and loosing that functionality if people wants to use discord on ubuntu. This is also reported on the extensions github page: https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/issues/171 https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/issues/157 Someone also made a video on youtube showing the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABavT7yXlso To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/+bug/1849142/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
