Some of the tray menus don't work in 16.04

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

gnome-flashback-compiz under Ubuntu 16.04.

Clicking on the sound applet and then selecting "Sound Settings" doesn't do anything.
It should launch 'unity-control-center sound' instead.

Clicking on the name applet and then "About This Computer" should launch "unity-control-center info".

Clicking on the date applet and then "Date & Time settings..." should launch "unity-control-center datetime".

Clicking on the date applet and then "Add event" doesn't do anything, it should at least be hidden.

The sound indicator is fixed in lp:~mitya57/indicator-sound/lp1502480.
The Date & Time settings are fixed in lp:~mitya57/indicator-datetime/lp1502480.

I'll look at the other two issues a bit later.

For "Add Event", you need to have evolution installed. In that case indicator-datetime will execute "evolution calendar:///?startdate=DATE" command. Do you have it installed?

"About This Computer" should work fine already… Can you please check if you have $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP set to GNOME-Flashback:Unity, and that "unity-control-center info" really works?

[Alkis Georgopoulos (alkisg)]

I installed Ubuntu and then gnome-flashback. I didn't install evolution.
Unity hides the "Add Event" menu, gnome-flashback doesn't hide it.
I don't know if Unity (re)shows the menu if one installs evolution.

Isn't it a problem that there's a menu that does nothing in a normal installation?
If hiding it isn't a good option, maybe we could invoke gnome-calendar insetad, which is preinstalled?
(or, prefer evolution first, fall back to gnome-calendar if evolution is not installed...)

"About This Computer" works fine now, I don't know why it didn't work for me when I filed the bug...

Thank you Dmitry!

It looks like 'Add Event' should not be added if evolution is not installed...

Alkis, I cannot confirm the Add Event issue. Also as Alberts says, the code is correct.

Just to be sure, you are referring to indicator-datetime, not gnome-panel's own date applet, right?

[Alkis Georgopoulos (alkisg)]

Guys you are right, it only happened in my user account because I had a ~/bin/evolution shell wrapper from the old days, even though I no longer have evolution installed.
