The issue you are facing:

i installed some applications today from the panel settings > apps, but none of them shows up in the top bar next to the one already and succesfully installed few days ago

they are shown as actives in my applications list, but i cannot use them since i don’t see them !

here is the list :

  • BPM files
  • collabora online (along with Collabora Online - Built-in CODE Server)
  • Mind Map
  • Ownpad

collabora fail to open when i click on a document, with an error message asking me to retry later

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Not all applications are supposed to put an icon on the top. Typically, file-based applications do NOT, rather they would be activated as needed in the appropriate location in the directory tree. Collabora in particular (because I’m familiar with that and not the others) definitely does not add an icon in the top bar.

An application needs to specifically implement a top bar button in order for it to be added there.

For your error with collabora, there are lots of threads on the subject. You should do a search on the error.
