22 May 2015 - Viber update ruined the indicator

[cdysthe]

Here too. That little icon is in the way always covering either the close button or something else. Please fix.

[karas84]

That's strange, I can't seem to find any update. Anyway I updated the code, give it a go and see if it works now.

I'm not sure how to run it from Github so I guess I'll have to wait until it's updated in the WebUpd8 PPA. I think the problem is caused by an update in Ubuntu, not in Viber since haven't updated Viber in ages.

Same here. Update to "viberwrapper-indicator" package this morning broke it icon. Will wait for WebUpd8 PPA to get fixed to this repo.

The same for me - viber icon on top left corner is back.

I couldn't find any update for Viber. Just i installed updated viberindicator from ppa and icon is back on top left. Is there any new update for viber? Why did you update the indicator so?

Hi! I had the same problem as another users. I updated /usr/bin/viberwrapper-indicator to version in the repository and run Viber indicator in dash (not Viber). Now I have icon in the right place.
p.s. or you can update exec field of /usr/share/applications/viber.desktop to viberwrapper-indicator and run Viber icon as usual

Thanks, anywhim. It works.

Hi guys,

I got the same issue. I checked the code on /usr/bin on my pc and the one on github. From what I could see the version that I have really looks like the one that was commited on Dec 5, 2014. There is only a small difference that is causing the issue.
On line 436:
"if geom['width'] == 22 and geom['height'] == 22:"

was replaced by:
"if geom['width'] == 10 and geom['height'] == 10 or geom['width'] == 22 and geom['height'] == 22:"

I updated the file /usr/bin/viberwrapper-indicator with "if geom['width'] == 22 and geom['height'] == 22:" and it fixed the issue.

@Paulines38 Thanks! That took care of it! Works perfectly now.

[karas84]

Glad it worked. I'm closing the issue then.

I confirm that it works. The icon on the left flashes for a second but I suppose that's ok.

Thanks for everything guys. I really hope viber will fix issues like these themselves so we don't have to rely on workarounds...

[cdysthe]

@dimitriscsd Honestly I do not think they will. It's only in Ubuntu you get the floating icon. In other DE's it's in the system tray. I also know people who like it that being able to move the notification icon around. But let's hope! :)
