Whitelisting the Last.fm Tray Icon in Ubuntu Unity

While the rhythmbox packages with my scrobbler plug-in for Ubuntu Natty are building, here’s a short tip on how to get the last.fm client to show up in the system tray with Ubuntu Unity.

Run the following command in a terminal:

$ gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist \
    "$(gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist | \
       sed -e "s:\[:\['Last.fm' ,:")"

After logging out and back in, the last.fm client will show up in the systray again.

Thanks – been looking for something like this. Is there a similar way to get the system monitor back in the icon tray?

Jürgen Kreileder replied

Not sure what string the system monitor uses but you can whitelist everything with

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"
