Hi,
I can't start qTox on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine. Here are steps to reproduce:
> wget https://build.tox.chat/view/Clients/job/qTox_build_linux_x86-64_release/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/qTox_build_linux_x86-64_release.tar.xz
> openssl sha1 qTox_build_linux_x86-64_release.tar.xz
SHA1(qTox_build_linux_x86-64_release.tar.xz)= d33362c29c6a33f364ecbe12c862cc2cd70ffaf9
> tar xf qTox_build_linux_x86-64_release.tar.xz
> ./qtox
Log messages: https://gist.github.com/ruslo/8153c9b852ee18fd6def
So it seems to start but I see no windows.

Could you check with qtox-unity version?
Did it refuse to work properly during the first start on a clean box, or were you starting with some other, already existing profile, which seems to be the case, according to log?
Did it work with earlier versions, or..?

I've downloaded this version:
and it works, I think you should place this link to the main page.

~related: #3224, this issue seems closable once this gets merged.

How about setting up the nightly "ppa"? Works for me on Ubuntu 14.04.
echo "deb https://pkg.tox.chat/debian nightly $(lsb_release -cs)" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tox.list
wget -qO - https://pkg.tox.chat/debian/pkg.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qtox
## optional (I think it's installed by default):
## sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https

@ruslo could you perhaps provide the steps that you've tried with community repo? I.e. for other people it seemed to work, so it would be good to know why it didn't work for you.

@zetok Seems to be a problem with unity - I use Lubuntu (now updated to 16.04) without any panel.

I can not reproduce problem with qTox community build on default installation Ubuntu Trusty and Xenial with Unity. Seems we need more details.

Would you clean tox settings before run new installed like:
mv /home/ruslo/.config/tox /home/ruslo/.config/tox.old
?

Would you clean tox settings before run new installed like
Yes, it helps. Can I do clean without loosing my tox-id?
ruslo
on 8 May 2016
Ok, seems I understand. You can revert changes:
$ rm -rf /home/ruslo/.config/tox
$ mv /home/ruslo/.config/tox.old /home/ruslo/.config/tox
Run qtox, and... run qtox in separate terminal again. Now window is visible. Problem in tray icon settings / activity.

Yes, it does work too.
Problem in tray icon settings / activity.
So is it a qTox bug?

Unity is bug :) I will have to add special build for Unity to support it.
abbat
on 8 May 2016
@ruslo Would you update package and test again?

It works! Feel free to close.
Thank you guys!
