What is this Linux Mint Notification Icon?
March 26, 2016 7:57 AM   Subscribe

I'm running Linux Mint and I have the this notification icon showing (the one in centre, left of WiFi icon). Can anyone tell me what it means and how to remove it?

The icon has been showing for over a month. It looks like a black screen with red circle in it, but I can't identify it and there is no information when I click on it or hover over it.

If anyone can tell me what it is that would be great. If you can tell me how to remove it even better.

Thanks

If you hover over it, or right click on it, does anything show up?

It sort of looks like the touchpad icon, you might look in the control panel under mice / human input / touch and see if there is something about an icon.

Best answer: Did previously have a dropbox icon there?

For the past while my dropbox icon has been replaced with a similar icon (I'm using Xubuntu). Dropbox is still running fine, I just can't access it from the notification bar since an update.

Response by poster: Thanks - it looks like it is dropbox. It disappears when I kill the dropbox process.

I'm getting this from Dropbox too lately. It's really annoying but I was going to see if changing my icon theme might fix it. This and the app's incredible memory hunger are pretty irksome.

FYI, that is the general 'Icon not available' icon.

This thread is relevant to your interests.
