mntray needs to be updated in order to take the new "Stable Staging" sub-category into account and show new announcement posted in it.

https://forum.manjaro.org/c/announcements/stable-staging-updates/108

Hey, this app was amazing. I love it. But I'm very that there are no binaries available for windows :( Of course, building it myself would be very easy as the app is written in go. But that's also a strong reason why you should include a binary for windows. I hope you do that :)

Can you include an autostart for mntray, please.

You have to copy the file mntray.desktop to the path ~/.config/autostart (~ it's the home-dirctory of the user)
I cann't do that in PKGBUILD, because there's no right to write into the home-directory of the user.
It's only possible in your source-code.

mntray.desktop includes

[Desktop Entry]
Name=mntray
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/mntray
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
NoDisplay=false
Hidden=true
X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=0

I have 2 laptops running Manjaro Gnome Testing and both of them suffer from a disappearing tray icon on the 1st start.

mntray: 1.1.3-1
OS: Manjaro Gnome
Branch: Testing
Update Date: 7.12.2020
Kernel: 5.9.12-1-MANJARO
Display Manager: X11
Used display driver: Intel modesetting

1st Laptop (Lenovo T490, i7-8565U, MX250, Switchin GPU to Intel only using Bbswitch):
Mntray properly turns on only on the 1st login. If I log out and log in again, the tray icon will not be functional and if I try to launch mntray again, I will be met with a message mntray already running, exiting.

2nd Laptop (Acer V3-575g, i5-6200U, Switching GPU to Intel only using Nouveau)
After logging in (no matter when), the tray icon will not be functional and if I try to launch mntray again, I will be met with a message mntray already running, exiting.

Debugging steps which I tried:

• deleting config files - no luck
• deleting auto autostart file in ~/.config/autostart/ - no luck
• trying previous versions 1.1.2 and 1.1.1 - no luck
• uninstalling and manually downloading and launching a precompiled binary - works as long as I launch the program manually
• compiling from scratch - works as long as I launch the program manually
• enabling Terminal=true in mntray.desktop - works always
• killall mntray && mntray - works always

config file:
{ "Version": "1.1.3", "ServerURL": "http://manjaro.moson.eu:10111/news", "MaxArticles": 15, "AvailableCategories": [ "Testing Updates", "Stable Updates", "Stable Staging Updates", "Unstable Updates", "Twitter", "News", "Releases", "ARM News", "ARM Releases", "ARM Stable Updates", "ARM Testing Updates", "ARM Unstable Updates" ], "Categories": [ "Testing Updates" ], "AddCategoriesBranch": [], "RefreshInterval": 600, "HideNoNews": false, "Autostart": true, "ErrorNotifications": true, "DelayAfterStart": 60, "SetCategoriesFromBranch": false }

I am up for doing more debugging to get this fixed.

Manjaro forum now has 2 new categories inside announcements: News and Releases. Is mntray already compatible with those new categories or it needs some adjustments to support those?
