The name Namarupa is used for the forces at play that govern the Ayatana, in Buddhism. Since this indicator manages the system tray icons which are under the Ayatana project, it seems clever to name this Namarupa.
You need to add Pantheon to the list of desktops abled to work with indicators:
- With autostart (thanks to JMoerman)
System settings -> "Applications" -> "Startup" -> "Add Startup App…" -> "Type in a custom command"
Add /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-application/indicator-application-service as custom command to the auto start applications in the system settings
- With a patch
Install this patched indicator-applications debian file
reboot
Install the latest debian file (com.github.donadigo.wingpanel-indicator-namarupa_1.0.0_amd64.deb) try a double-click or use dpkg :
sudo dpkg -i com.github.donadigo.wingpanel-indicator-namarupa_1.0.0_amd64.deb
You'll need the following dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libgranite-dev libindicator3-dev libwingpanel-2.0-dev
valac gcc mesonRun meson to configure the build environment and then ninja to build:
meson build --prefix=/usr && cd build
ninjaTo install, use ninja install:
sudo ninja installReboot or kill and let wingpanel come back:
killall wingpanel
