Ubuntu 16.04 GNOME-Flashback no tray icon

mrjagdadmrjagdad
in Linux VPN Setup
As the subject line says
OS: Ubuntu 16.04
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP = GNOME-Flashback:Unity

installation went fine, asked for account info, processes have started.
Checked using ps - ef | grep pia

The tray icon is not displayed.

Tried the workaround
nohup env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME-Flashback:Unity ~/.pia_manager/pia_manager/run.sh &
Output - $ nohup: ignoring input and appending output to 'nohup.out'
Stayed in background until I hit "Enter"
No Tray icon.

Tried the workaround with
$ nohup env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity ~/.pia_manager/pia_manager/run.sh &
Output - $ nohup: ignoring input and appending output to 'nohup.out'

Stayed in background until I hit "Enter"
No Tray icon.

Appreciate help on this.

    I've run some tests on my 16.04 install with Gnome Flashback, and it seems the correct value is XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity even if it's not technically Unity. It looks like the flashback session doesn't implement a legacy tray so the AppIndicator version needs to be forced on.

    You may need to set it directly in ~/.pia_manager/pia_manager/run.sh as it overrides the value already depending on what it contains.
