Compatible with Elementary OS 8

Hi, as we know, eOS 8.0 RC stable version has been released, but now the community indicators don't work correctly.
Hope to fix it!

got the same problem, at least megasync doesn't warn about no tray applet found but there is no tray icon

[lokman2k5]

is there any solution to this?

You can build the solution and install it with the latest dependencies and it works.
sudo apt-get install libindicator3-dev
sudo apt install libjson-glib-dev
sudo apt-get install libwingpanel-dev

Here's a .DEB package I modified from 7.0 to work with 8.0.

This installs on eOS 8.0 without any issues, but shows no indicators on the wingpanel and the systemtray. Have installed both community-indicators and switchboard-plug-indicators. Nothing shows on wingpanel. Have tried both ways, by using .deb files and by building the solution, but neither works. Clicking on Settings in the systemtray leads to System Settings instead of Indicators settings inside System Settings. In fact, there is no entry for Indicator settings in System Settings.

Same problem for me

I have the same problem. I'm guessing this plugin needs a switchboard plug-indicators plugin, which has not been updated for Switchboard v3, so it looks for old dependencies and cannot be installed.

This worked for me: https://github.com/lenemter/wingpanel-indicator-namarupa
I compiled and installed it and it worked

Same, this version works. Thanks!

Thank you, @llyonard, for your time and effort; I only got a "No Tray Icons" message. Installation went without glitches; I tested on both secure and classic sessions and nothing.
As you can see from the screenshot, I'm also using pCloud, and it's mounted so the client is running:

Have you tried using the version in this link https://github.com/lenemter/wingpanel-indicator-namarupa? Uninstall all previous or alternative versions and try again

Hi @llyonard, thank you again for your help.

The repo you suggested is the one I used previously, both with a .deb file and a meson build, and both times, I got nothing. Furthermore, on one of my attempts, I ended up with indicator-application.desktop. that has Exec=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-application/indicator-application-service. There is no such folder or file, and I'm unsure where that .desktop file originated.
After clearing everything up and rebuilding it with meson, I ended up in the same place but without the indicator-application.desktop. file. I still have three dots on the Wingppanel and an empty drawer saying "No Tray Icons". I checked every message line in the build process, and there were no errors or warnings.

Should I have an indicator-application.desktop. file? The Meson build didn't produce one. If so, could you please share the content of your indicator-application.desktop. file?

Cheers.

can confirm, this one works

I made it work :-)
Since building it manually didn't produce the needed service and the .desktop file, I followed up by installing the deb file over it, and now everything is in place, and I got pCloud running at least. Slack and my email app do not show indicators, but I can live without those.
Thank you again, everybody included here, for helping me out.
