KDE systray icon no longer works

I upgraded to the latest KDE two days ago and now the systray icon no longer works.

They calibre-debug info says:

Code:

Failed to create system tray icon, your desktop environment probably does not support the StatusNotifier spec

As far as I know, kf5 still supports the StatusNotifier, so what could be wrong?

See the line

dbus-launch: relocation error: dbus-launch: symbol _dbus_strdup, version LIBDBUS_PRIVATE_1.10.0 not defined in file libdbus-1.so.3 with link time reference

Looks like a libdbus library incompatibility

IS there an easy fix or do I need to compile from scratch?

Simply delete the private copy of libdbus in /opt/calibre/lib

Although given that dbus-launch is only used by libdbus if a dbus session buss is missing, I suspect you have bigger problems elsewhere.

THanks, that worked. AS for dbus, I've had this problem for years. It's likely time for a full wipe and reinstall.
