Thread: Desktop-mode on Debian

Desktop-mode on Debian

From
Johann Spies
Date:
Since the availability of 4.2 on Debian (pgdg-version) I could use
pgadmin4 in the desktop-mode.  Today I have upgraded to 4.3 and now I am
back in the web browser - which I do not want.

Do I have to reconfigure the system every time there is a new Debian
package?

Regards
Johann

pgadmin4 3.0's desktop mode is running an application in the
background, and accessing it using your web browser. If you don't want
it to use your default browser, right-click on the elephant in the
systray, and configure a different command.

(With 2.x it technically did the same, just that the web browser was
bundled inside the pgadmin4 binary.)

I am running XFCE4 with an additional Cairo-dock panel and nowhere can I
find the pgadmin4-elephant in any systray.

Until I can figure this out, I will use a combination of pgadmin3,
datagrip and omnidb-app.

Johann,

I run XFCE4 with cairo dock, but I also have a panel at the top with the indicator plugin and the elephant icon shows up there whenever I start pgadmin4. The icon works but not scalable, like the other icons and since my panel size is smaller than default (18 px) the elephant is a bit cropped from both top and bottom.

Doesn't PgAdmin4 fall back to "systray" when "indicators" aren't
available?

Thanks. I have never used the indicator plugin before. I saw in it's
description that it was related to something familiar to the unity
users.  I have never used unity so did not think it was necessary to use
it.

I have installed it now and now I can see the icon I could not find.

Maybe this must be in the documentation: "If you are using XFCE4 on Debian, install
the 'indicator' plugin."

Johann
