I have the same problem. I noticed that runnung the CopyAgent as root (kdesudo), solves it (even it is probably not recommended to run it as root).

this worked for me on a 64 bit install of 14.04 upgrade from 13.10
it also worked for me on my laptop which was a clean install of 14.04 64 bit
This the first time I have had the menu working in over a year
step1:
so the proper way to get your (a) copy icon back is to first install this ppa
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:gurqn/systray-trusty
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
step2:
kill the copy agent ( i use system monitor to do so)
step3: install sqlite to modify copy agent datatbase (if the update doesn't work there is a line to return it to its previous settings later on)
sudo apt-get install sqlite3
cd $HOME/.copy
echo 'UPDATE config2 SET value=0 WHERE option="csmBlackWhiteIconsV2" ;' | sqlite3 config.db
(more details here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/45767...con-of-copy-co...)
after restarting copyagent and or logging out and logging in, it is fixed)
(to undo any change if it fails for you
echo 'UPDATE config2 SET value=1 WHERE option="csmBlackWhiteIconsV2" ;' | sqlite3 config.db)
I had moved to copy as a replacement for ubuntuone in 14.04 & saw no issues getting a working menu (ubuntu session
Likely that is because my unity install had the systray enabled prior to copy being installed so no other commands, edits were needed
(I maintain a 14.04 build here that's slightly advanced from others, this has 14.10 updates & a fix for unity launcher pips

Just to note -
copy is a qt4 app, usually qt4 apps get indicator support thru sni-qt which may work ok (smplayer), or not very well (vlc). In the case of copy it doesn't seem to work with sni-qt or if it does, it does so poorly. The systray icon for copy does work well.
(smplayer & vlc both support the systray though it can only be had if the sni-qt package is removed.
The only little issue in unity/ambiance is the menu is wrong color, (white), & wrong highlighted background (blue
The menu can be adjusted thru qt4-qtconfig though that app can be extremely frustrating to use & any changes should be checked against any other qt4 app for suitability.
(- simply switching gui style from Desktop settings to GTK+ will give proper highlighted background color, any other changes need to be done via "Tune Palette" . The cleanlooks style isn't that bad either.
Have come close here to getting a better looking menu but as mentioned qt4-qtconfig is a pita to use. If inclined I'd back up ~/.copy first & keep in mind every time you open qt4-qtconfig it may return some values to default
Would love to find where qtconfig settings changes are saved but haven't as of yet..
I've debugged this issue a little, and it's not actually a copy bug.
But a libdbusmenu issue, that might happen also with other indicators (see bug #1086563)
If you're brave enough you might want to try the fix by compiling by yourself my libdbusmenu (using the --with-gtk=2 configure flag, if you need it only for copy)
Quick instructions, that will fix your CopyAgent:
Code:bzr branch lp:~3v1n0/libdbusmenu/really-recreate-menu libdbusmenu cd libdbusmenu sudo apt-get build-dep libdbusmenu-gtk4 ./autogen.sh --with-gtk=2 make install DESTDIR=$PWD/install sudo cp install/usr/local/lib/libdbusmenu-gtk.so.* $SAME_DIRECTORY_WHERE_YOUR_CopyAgent_IS
This is great, thank you! And now a stupid question.
How exactly does the last command have to look like: "sudo cp install/usr/local/lib/libdbusmenu-gtk.so.* $SAME_DIRECTORY_WHERE_YOUR_CopyAgent_IS"
Like this for example?: "sudo cp install/usr/local/lib/libdbusmenu-gtk.so.* /home/blablub/CopyClient/x86_64"
Thanks a lot!
My CopyAgent executable is in /opt/copy (I put it there). That was my "$SAME_DIRECTORY_WHERE_YOUR_CopyAgent_IS".
If you're not sure where your CopyAgent executable is, try finding it:
Code:sudo find / -name CopyAgent
Works like a charm! Thank you!![]()

Worked for me on 64bit - thanks!
