RadioTray doesn't display correctly in KDE

[Erik1984]

I've used RadioTray before in Kubuntu and back then it worked. Now when I launch radiotray with 13.04 I get a missing 'app indicator' and the menu is not displayed as it should



Kubuntu version 13.04
KDE 4.10.4
GTK2 and 3 theme: oxygen-gtk

sudo apt-get install python-appindicator

Thanks, but that package is already installed:

python-appindicator:

This is from memory, but....

RadioTray's config file is in your home directory: ~/.local/share/radiotray/config.xml.

If you open it in an editor, you'll see this line:

  <!-- valid options are 'appindicator', 'systray' and 'chooser' -->

If the line immediately below shows

value=appindicator

change "appindicator" to "systray". Save the file and restart RadioTray and see if the usual icon appears in the panel.

Thanks buzzingrobot! That fixed it. The indicator and the menu now display as they should
