Failed to create system tray icon, your desktop environment probably does not support the StatusNotifier spec https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Spe...sNotifierItem/

I would suggest running system reports from the main menu to see if you have any configuration problems.

Check Hexchat see if it will go to system tray, if not then check and make sure under System Setting--Preferences--Applets you have both System Tray and XApp Status Applet enabled.

This is my calibre debug with calibre system tray not enabled:
