mate-settings-daemon running, but no kbd layouts icon is visible in the tray area

[asmexcaliburwoods]

According to stefano-k's words ( mate-desktop/mate-indicator-applet#1 (comment) ), the keyboard layouts icon is managed by mate-settings-daemon, therefore I'm filing an issue here.

Currently I have mate-settings-daemon running (see Proof 1), but no kbd layouts indicator icon is visible in the tray area.

Proof 1:

ps auxwww|grep mate-settings-daemon
1000      1975  0.0  0.2  40268  4612 ?        Sl   19:11   0:00 /usr/bin/mate-settings-daemon
1000      1977  0.0  0.0  31048  1764 ?        S    19:11   0:00 /usr/bin/mate-settings-daemon
1000      5979  0.0  0.0   5616   840 pts/0    S+   20:28   0:00 grep --color=auto mate-settings-daemon

When I open System/Parameters/Kbd, I have two kbd layouts specified: USA and Russian.

If you have any questions, please ask.

apt-cache show mate-settings-daemon

You should have only one mate-settings-daemon running. Can you check autostart applications?

[asmexcaliburwoods]

1. I checked System/Parameters/Autostart, there is a single /usr/bin/mate-settings-daemon entry (I was looking by eye).
2. "cat /etc/xdg/autostart/* | grep mate-settings" yields a single line "Exec=/usr/bin/mate-settings-daemon".
3. What other locations should I search?

[stefano-k]

~/.config/autostart/

[asmexcaliburwoods]

ls -a ~/.config/autostart/
.                         fetchmail.desktop          pidgin.desktop
..                        gajim.desktop              python.desktop
bluetooth-applet.desktop  gnome-screensaver.desktop  quodlibet.desktop

cat ~/.config/autostart/*|grep mate
(empty output)

I can't duplicate the issue on LMDE using Debian testing and tridex repos. Maybe it's something wrong with Precise?

egphilippov, is gnome-settings-daemon also running?

[asmexcaliburwoods]

I can't check. i reinstalled Precise and Mate from scratch, and this issue doesn't trigger anymore.

[szesch]

I can close this then?

[asmexcaliburwoods]

Ok, I close. If it will trigger in the future, I will re-open.
