Hi @JASpup
check in the /root/.config/autostart folder if there are the firewallstatus and retrovol files, if they are not, unzip this tar file and there you will find the missing files and others that may be useful ...

If the files mentioned as the installation files are complete (in this case there are files in both / usr / bin and / usr / sbin), you may be missing the icons or the system may not correctly detect the .svg files located in / usr / share / pixmaps for firewall and / usr / share / retrovol / images for retrovol ...

In any case, there are those three possibilities why your icons are not displayed in the notification area

I hope this information will serve you

Cheers!!

I've had a Notification Area problem before.

I clicked on networking and it disappeared. This and the other time were both XFCE (different distro).

After this I'm interested in how that area gets activated so it can be manually populated.

I issued

retrovol

It didn't report any error, but it also didn't appear to do anything (no icon return).

Your directory shows .desktop files, like /usr/share/applications.

If that's the trick without restarting X or rebooting, that's good to know.
