Thunderbird Firetray disappears upon new email

On my previous system (arch), when I got a new email, the firetray extension for Thunderbird will show a yellowish letter picture and show the number of new messages.

But in my new arch system, everytime I got a new email, it'll just disappear. Then I'd have to open up thunderbird again, then it would appear.

It's other functions all work as per-normal, so I'm thinking it's some problem with the letter picture. Could it have anything to do with evolution-data-server or something? Since I opted not to install that this time.

 

check preferences perhaps?

 

Nope. Those all are still the same. I'm pretty sure it's some sort of dependancy that's lacking. If only yaourt server was online.. *sigh*

 

it is online, you just can't search with it. Search here: http://aur.archlinux.org/

 

Well, I've installed yaourt, and enabled [core], [extra], and [community]. Do I have to enable [unstable] as well?

 

no, yaourt automatically integrates with the AUR (unsupported) but they updated the AUR which broke the search a few days ago, and yaourt hasn't updated yet, but you can still install from yaourt, just can't search with it

 

Aye. I guess I'l wait then. There's no urgency, anyway.

 

run yaourt -Su --aur

there's an update to yaourt that works for searching again

 

YaY! Thanks!

Now let's just hope that through installing other stuff, the dependency for Firetray will be installed as well.

 

Good news. I've just noticed that it works again after I installed 'gnome-common' and 'gnome-python-extras' (Phew, I can remove Evolution now.)

I'm not too sure which one is the one that made the new mail notification thing appear again, but it's at least a safe bet if you install both.

So, for anyone who might have this problem in the future, just do as above.

(Can a mod mark the thread title as "solved" or something?)
