[SOLVED]Viber and Qt5 apps missing tray icon

Hello,

In the last few months I have been missing the Viber icon (as seen in this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=192558). I finally got fed up with it so I started investigating and I downloaded the Qt5 systray example. I noticed that the qt5 version of the example shows the exact same problem while the qt4 version works flawlessly. I also noticed that the qt5 version is unable to show any of its SVG images.

I checked and I have installed the qt5-svg package. However I noticed that both the systray app and Viber in their dynamic libraries don't mention libQt5Svg.

Any ideas? I am currently setting up a VM with ubuntu to check on that, and will report my findings.

Thanks.

EDIT:
It seems that the default installation of ubuntu has the same problem. However manually installing libqt5svg5 and libqt5svg5-dev solves the problem for both Viber and the systray example.

EDIT 2:
It seems that the mistake was mine in the systray example. The qt5 example uses png icons and I mixed it with the qt4 example which uses svg. However fixing the references results in svg icons displaying correctly in the application but not on the tray.

The solution was to disable the option "Enable support for indicators (Requires Cinnamon restart)" in Cinnamon-settings->General. After a Cinnamon restart everything works as expected.

Please don't necrobump old threads, many parts of the landscape have significantly changed, open your own thread detailing your own environment.
