I am having a minor problem having set up my sync clients using your information. > [@Linux distribution packages for the desktop clients - help out!](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/linux-distribution-packages-for-the-desktop-clients-help-out/2538/75): > > sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nextcloud-devs/client > sudo apt-get update I have several machines all running the same (nominally) OS (Mint 18.1 Cinnamon). All but one of these machines do not show Nextcloud icons in the panel I have to re-open the client from the menu. The sync client appears to work without fault on all machines - the various client machines use different content from the server and are used for different purposes. Any suggestions as to a fix for this problem would be appreciated. (The server is on a Raspberry Pi 3b running Raspbian and NC 11.0.2 ---

Missing Nextcloud Sync icons in panel Mint 18.1 Cinnamon Having given up trying to find a solution to the missing icon problem i posted my previous entry. Then immediately found a solution. I found a forum posting (Owncloud 2014) suggesting that there needed to be delay placed in the startup apps list for the Nextcloud Client. I added a 5 second start up delay and IT WORKS. ---

I could solve this on two machines by adding `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-messages/indicator-messages-service` to autostart. Maybe this helps anyone, too. ---
