@russ Thank you! For some reason I completely missed that "Profile" button there.

RE: No tray icon on Ubuntu 18.04, can't add triggers
Two more questions:
-
How do I change the default computer, so I don't have to tell its name to Alexa everytime?
-
IFTTT doesn't list TRIGGERcmd as an available service, I can't create applets/commands. Could it be listed under some other name, perhaps?

RE: No tray icon on Ubuntu 18.04, can't add triggers
That was fast! And yes, everything works beautifully with the new version! Previously I couldn't get the foreground commands to run and thought it was due to Wayland, but they run now (mostly I need background commands, though). Thank you so much, now I can continue tweaking my Raspberry Pi w/ Arduino for some additional home automation.

RE: No tray icon on Ubuntu 18.04, can't add triggers
Thank you for the reply! Indeed the commands.json "issue" was due to my own stupidity. Not about commas per se, but in general not properly checking the syntax before saving. I've now added some commands that have yet to appear on the website login side (and do not yet work with Alexa), but I suppose they'll eventually pop up there when TRIGGERcmd synchronizes the settings between client and server.
To clarify the issue with tray icon on Ubuntu: the icon actually initially shows up, as well as the initial setup window. I can enter token via the GUI. It is after this when the problem appears: whenever I run TRIGGERcmd from the menu or command-line, the icon only shows up for a second or so, then disappears. It cannot be right-clicked, thus no settings can be edited.

No tray icon on Ubuntu 18.04, can't add triggers
I subscribed via PayPal and have tried installing both the GUI and non-GUI versions of the TRIGGERcmd Agent (DEB). I have multiple computers, all running Ubuntu Linux 18.04. Installation always seems to go smooth, I install the required dependencies afterwards with "apt-get -f install" + the dependencies that it doesn't seem to automatically require (but fails to run without them): "apt install npm libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk3-module". I've installed the background service as well and tried running it from the command-line (no errors reported).
The problem is I never see the tray icon, so I am unable to add any commands/triggers. If I manually add them to ~./TRIGGERcmdData/commands.json, they just get erased the moment I save + quit vim. Could I maybe add them to some other config file? I really don't need the GUI, I just need a way to add them. I've been unable to find a way to do this via the website login.
The same problem persists on 3 different computers (didn't try installing to more PC's until the issue is resolved), so it's most likely an issue with Ubuntu 18.04. Any idea what's causing the tray icon to not appear in GNOME?
