Please could someone advise how to get a tray icon to display on the above system?

Before trying-out Tumbleweed I used Kubuntu 20.10 and the tray icon worked as expected.

Hi, thanks for your report. This is a very tricky issue to debug, I've tried to summarize current knowledge in #1306.

It would help if you could:

  1. Check if this problem still affects you, and if yes:
  2. Please give your backintime version, and maybe:
  3. Log output, if you find something that looks relevant (like in #1098 (comment))

Thanks a lot! :)

FYI: I am still working on my general fix of all system tray icon issues (#1306) to fix all known edge cases (this issue may be such an edge case)

Do you use X11 or wayland? If you use wayland, BiT (root) will not show a systray icon IMHO...
